gottfred's wargear is included in his 35 point cost -- you save 4 points there, but
you undercosted the psyker primaris by 2 points.
Still, 2 free points, yay!
A note on orders with scions.
Autoreliquary on someone is good. He goes from 2 to 3, ish.
the "master of command" warlord is also pretty good, because you can give him that warlord trait and then give him the other command relic "laurels of command".
So now, you have one guy gives 2 orders to 2 targets, via voxnet. Good. One guy who gives 2 orders and rolls to give another, via voxnet, also good. But then.
one guy who gives an order, and on a 4+ gives that target a SECOND, different order. Like "extermination protocol sanctioned" stacking with "reroll 1's" and potentially "firstrank fire, second rank fire" if you are lucky.
he THEN passes his SECOND order out, across the board, to a guy in a bad spot and tells him to fire after withdrawing, to reroll his 1's to hit, and maybe you don't make that third roll.
He THEN tells the unit NEXT to that unit, across the board, to get back in the fight, and "extermination protocols" ... but maybe you get a lucky third roll and can also say "reroll your 1's, soldier".
Then you spend a command point.
And tell a unit on the backside of the moon to movemovemove, and roll well again and tell him to forwards for the emperor. That guy that just sprinted into melta range, can so do that AND shoot. inches and shoot, and wow, that's awesome.
If you use this strategy, its wise to figure out where the multiple, stacking, most valuable orders are needed, and then work back to the chance of getting an autoreliquary extra order for the least needed. But your 3 tempest leaders can issue a shocking 9 orders a round, and some of them, maybe stacked 3 deep.
That's enough to keep your elimination protocol armywide, if you need it, or to give your entire force a reroll 1 to hit, which never hurts.
