Hey bud looks like a proper Guard army with lotsa guns. Just missing a command squad for the infantry platoon? I see you have one for the Scions, and it's always good to see a Standard.
If you've painted all that, good job, if not, good luck!

Is this for competative play?

Thanks I hadn’t noticed I left the wrong command squad in place would rather have the normal for fluff based army. This army is just for open play and it’s not painted yet I just recently got it built up. I’ve been slowly accumulating this army over a few years (price) so decided to build it all at once and just run with it

My biggest comment is Orders are vital for guard. We are a bit naff currently and without orders it gets a whole lot more difficult. I would really try at getting more in.

Likewise tank commanders. Like regular Leman Russ, but better, faster, shootier. In most armies you get them without their tanks! Stick them and the tanks in a spearhead detachment and the tanks get Objective Secured like troops!

Second point - you have a lot of scions, enough for a dedicated formation. Assuming this isn't your actual detachment set up they get their special rules if they are hived off. And yes, the commander point for orders for them holds as well!

A minor point with them is they are getting hammered in the games I play as 5 man squads, I think going for 10 man is the way of the future.

Another minorish point is heavy weapon teams are the most fragile expensive thing in the game. It really is worth putting direct fire heavy weapons into infantry squads so the warm bodies eat the bullets meant for them!

If you are looking for alternative Orbats...

I would stick all the Scions in one formation, have the infantry and other gear in a second formation. Note there is no advantage now to having a big formation. CPs are fixed by game size not army size.

Patrol detachment (cost 2 CP)

I haven’t played since 8th edition do the scions have a new formation they can use now? I imagine it’s in one of the PA books since tons of rules came from those books? I do plan on getting more scions and infantry since the new kits dropped maybe a few more armored units just not sure which ones they would be I agree about putting heavy weapons teams into infantry units I’ll have to adjust accordingly for that as well.

Yeah they have a bunch.

Really the biggest thing is commanders/tank commanders so you can get more orders. If you want Cadians and use Vox Creed can order a lot of your army.

Thanks! I have a lot to learn about AM my main army was Dark Angels through 7th and 8th (although last 8th game I played was when PA Baal was released). I was also thinking of maybe getting some basalisks or manticores and have an artillery squadron. I’m not 100% sure if it’s a good idea though. Another Baneblade variant like the shadow sword or storm sword might be nice as well

Sadly our Super Heavy Tanks are purely for fluffy play current, they are fairly naff being too vulnerable but costed for the weapons they carry and needing loads of CPs spent on them (to buy their detachment and then give them the abilities and regiment traits). In almost all cases you are better with a squadron or Leman Russ. They are cool though! I love my shadowsword

Manticores are currently the go to competitive unit and often sold out. You can buff them to always do full damage and stuff as well, and the strat for direct fire is a big help. Basilisks are slightly cheaper but half the firepower. I still use them but normally because I have only got 1 Manticore! (I couldn't help but build deathstrikes despite that being an awful unit on the tabletop!)
