Another try at a competitive infantry (almost) list.

I've had decent success with the Bullgryn holding the center of the table and keeping my opponents out of my deployment zone. I dropped an Inquisitor and plasma guns from the infantry squads to add more Scions with Melta guns.

I usually take Raise the Banners and Engage on all fronts.

That's a really short range compared to the plasma guns, something that I would not really be okay with. Especially when you're going to risk having all of that meat in between your scions and the enemy.
Maybe take one squad of metla guns so they can hunt a specific target?

Because you're missing out on the range and the rapid fire ability of the plasmas, but you'll still have the ability to give them orders as well. So you can alleviate some of the loss.

What position are you going to have Straken play in all of this?

One has to wonder. Do the Tyranids consider drop-assault troops... fast food?

I would also favor plasma over melta for the regular scion troops. My favorite way to use melta with scions is taking another HQ to unlock another command squad and putting 2 command squads of melta in a valkyrie. using the precision drop each turn to drop one squad within 5 inches from whatever you want to kill, then embarking them and dropping the other squad at the next location next turn guarantees you have 4 shots of half-range melta on whatever target you want each turn. you can also just grav chute drop both squads if you need extra anti-tank killiness. If taken as Kappic Eagles, you'll be constantly hitting on 2's with the melta squads, and the second HQ helps make sure every squad of plasma troops is rerolling 1's, or issuing FRFSRF. In this case hotshot volleyguns would also be a great choice for volume of fire, since KE ignore penalties for heavy weapons for moving. I've never used so many Bullgryns, though, so this may or may not synergize with your armies' playstyle
