This is a fairly simple project, seeing if I can make an effective Scion force from three 'Start Collecting' Scions box sets and spare bits that I have lying around. These are the results so far:

Some general feedback would be great. The ratlings can be replaced with something else with the 50 points (I have the models from my Guard army), I just didn't really know what to spend it on. Coming from the Guard, I've always used plasma, but I've seen other lists with melta, and the volley guns seem pretty nice, but some advice on my choices here would be appreciated. Warlord traits and regiment are also up in the air. Valkyries might be something in the future, but for now assume that I'm 99% working out of the three Start Collecting boxes (ie, 1 Tempestor Prime, 1 Squad, 1 Command Squad, 1 Commissar and a Taurox Prime per box.) Thanks in advance
