Hello everyone.

I have been experimenting with Astra Militarum and Militarum Tempestus army lists all day, and I decided that there could be a pretty good list built around using the strengths of both. What I have here is a skeleton, as mentioned in the title, and could use some fleshing out, but I would like to hear ideas about the gist of it.

HQ
Company Command Squad with gubbins, Master of the Fleet.

Lord Commissar with gubbins

2x Techpriest Enginseers (these are mainly for riding in chimeras allowing them to fire 2 heavy flamers while moving)

Troops
Veteran Squad with gubbins, Forward Sentries (for hanging back and capturing objectives)

Veteran Squad with gubbins, Grenadiers (for getting up close and personal)
Chimera with 2x Heavy Flamers, Fire Barrels, Augur Array (for deep striking goodies)

Infantry Platoon Command Squad with gubbins
Chimera with 1x multilaser, 1x heavy flamer, Fire Barrels, Augur Array (for more deep striking goodies)

Infantry Platoon Squad 1 with gubbins
Chimera with 1x multilaser, 1x heavy flamer, Fire Barrels, Augur Array (for more deepstriking goodness)

Infantry Platoon Squad 2 with gubbins
Chimera with 2x Heavy Flamers, Fire Barrels, Augur Array (for the last bit of deepstriking goodness)

Fast Attack
Vendetta (for flexibility and anti-air, and limited antitank, and to carry the Command Squad to the front line after it arrives from reserve)

Heavy Support
I have a Basilisk here for shenanigans, but can easily be tailored to fit the specific upgrades of the list (Vanquisher, for example, if AT is lacking)

Now, the important part:
Allied Militarum Tempestus (This is an allied detachment, not a formation)

Tempestus Command Squad with gubbins

2x 10 man Tempestus Scion squads with gubbins

Of course, flavor to taste, but I imagine the list's equipment really determines what is needed where. I am just curious to explore the ability to deepstrike a scoring tempestus platoon on top of enemy formations after a Chimera rush with smoke + augur arrays.
