In response to feedback from my other thread, I have come up with what I think I would like to play. With nothing more than a rudimentary understanding of the rules at this stage, I would like to ask you guys to confirm that my list is correct and legal. If there are any glaring problems with the units selected, I would appreciate a heads up there too. Finally, how viable would this list be for a newbie to learn to play with? (I will be playing against other newbs...)

Your list is legal and all good. It's a 300pt list with 6SWC. You clearly know how to make a list.

As for a new player, however, it is often advised to stick with 150pt lists when starting out. The overwhelming amount of choices may be a bit much at first.

Also, when starting out, Enomotarchos and Link Teams in general are one of the more advanced concepts. Don't use them at all at first to understand how the game works as a whole, Once you are sure you have a firm understanding of the game, use Link Teams and you'll have a better appreciation of them.

For trimming this list, consider dropping the Ekdromos hacker and the Rebot. Hackers are the "spellcasters" in this game and have rather niche rules such as shutting down Heavy Infantry. Especially if your opponent has a hacker as well, it's a level of gameplay that isn't newbie-friendly.
Airborne Deployment is also a newbie-unfriendly concept that is very make-or-break in the game. Against someone unaccustomed to it, it's really unfun. If you don't know what you're doing, it'll get shot up very easily. Try to make do without it for now.

You chose the Myrmidon Officer, but what weapon does it have? Specify this. The rifle is nice for range, but the shotgun variant comes with superior "smoke" grenades.

You're taking a ton of Myrmidons, and they have some unconventional rules. Be sure you understand the rules behind Impetuous, ODD, and smoke grenades. Smoke grenades especially have some wonky rules especially when using them when AROs are involved.
