You are more than over, the scions's command squad can only be taken with a tempest prime as the specific kommand element it is attached for. You can take a normal command squad (also some 16 points cheaper!) but not a scions, with a tank commander.

Also, what the kek is an agripaa-class orbital tracker? I just plain don't know this one to be available in ninth edition, where the wrath of the emperor speciality detachment is no longer accepted in matched play scenarios, only in narrative. Also, consider its not particularly useful to give the astropath that as astropaths already can strip cover (albeit in closer range) ... and basilisks have enough AP to not often care about cover anyway. Finally, only masters of ordinance and company commanders, I think, can be designated as the officers in a wrath detachment, so I don't believe the astropath is a candidate for that device in any circumstance.

you have nine track gaurds -- and the odds someone damages enough to slow but doesn't finish all your tanks when you need to move them to get in range is low. Might perhaps you keep them only on the 3 hellhounds, so that oyu can allocate some meltaguns into the squads and give them some anti elite and anti armor shooting? You might end up with one out of position but you got six squads with meltas running around in return, which is enough to make many an enemy tank notice!

That said I like it a lot, it looks very flamey doom.

Thanks, great pointers - didn't realize we lost access to the specialist detachments :( That makes me sad - I really liked the Emperor's Artillery detachment. Anyway I dropped the scion command squad and picked up a platoon commander and a HWS of mortars. The PC can sit in the back with the mortars and basilisks giving out his single order. I gave him Old Grudges for a WT which I've latched on to after you couldn't get more than 1CP a turn.

Good choices all, I think.
