So I've been sitting on this list for a little while. I liked the idea of air-cav, and seeing as valkyries aren't considered to be OTT fliers (and the only airborne option in MT), I figured I'd try this for a friendly list. Don't have the list itself on hand, but it looks something like this;

HQ
Lord Commisar w/ carapace armour, power fist, bolter - 95 pts
Tempestus Command Squad w/ power maul, bolt pistol, grenade launcher, medi-pack, standard (This I may drop), vox caster - 130 pts

Troops
10 man Scion squad w/ 2 melta guns, bolt pistol - 150 pts
10 man Scion squad w/ 2 plasma guns, plasma pistol - 175 pts

Fast Attack
3 Valkyries each w/ lascannon, multiple rocket pods - 435 pts

My main concerns with this list are a lack of bodies and deployment options. Minus the commisar, would this make a good allied detachment? I'd most likely have each squad in a valkyrie and have them come in and deploy to wherever I need them. Thoughts?

I would drop everything from the command squad and spend it all on better weapons, volley guns, or plasma.

You only have a vox on the command squad so its pointless.
The standard is kinda pointless since you have the lord commissar. Or drop the commissar all together and keep the standard. and try to squeeze in another Scion squad.

I forgot about the vox casters on the scion squads, they are on the list. I was thinking of having the commisar with the melta squad, so he doesn't make the standard useless.

If I were to drop the extra bodies in the plasma squad, would taking another squad be beneficial? Perhaps with volley guns?
