Trying to make a smaller 1K list of my Tempestus Scions for when I don't have time for a 2K game. Same basic idea of softening the enemy up with the Vulture and moving in with the Bullgryn to wail on anything refusing to die. Scions will drop in to snatch objectives or deal with heavy armor while Sisters will back up the Bullgryn to provide anti-Psyker support.

You have voxcasters in a list where you are likely to drop your troops right beside their officers who can also drop!
So you probably won't be seeing much use of the voxcasters here.
Its roughly enough points more or less exactly to upgrade your multilaser to a lasercannon on the valkryie.
You have 981 points spent as it is right now, meaning you could take a 19 point commisar with a powersword (yeah, world's cheapest officer) and just plant him on a backfield objective to camp out. Sure, he is pretty C rank in any sort of combat, with a las pistol and a s3 sword, but he can't be shot short of sniping him or getting close to him, so he might win you a few victory points and distract one enemy unit for 2 turns.

Welll worth it over not spending the money at all!

Hmm, it's been so long since I used a commissar I had forgotten about them. I'll have to look into doing that. Thanks for the advice!

You can of course, also use them to stiffen the troops in the center, and to add one mroe angry chainsword to a melee ball.

They are cccccheap. A sneaky way to use one in your list would be with the relic "emperor's benediction" bolt pistol and a chainsword. 16 points, but he fires 3 times with a s4 / -1ap / 2 damage sniper pistol, and basically counts on being a character to keep him from dying in melee. (Since the baby commisars don't get shields.)

Still, for 1 cp at the start of the game, you can snipe every roudn (till he dies) with 3 good shots. Its not bad!
