Hello, I am getting into retribution and I am wanting to know what you think of my list. I already own the Dawnguard sentinels with UA so they will be in the list either wayvyros -6, Imperatus 12, Manticore 8, Dawnguard sentinels with UA 11, stormfall archers 5, Fane knight Skyreth issyen 5.

I don't see the synergy with the Stormfall Archers, honestly. I might suggest swapping them and Skyreth for a Scyir and a light (Aspis or Griffon, probably) for a mobile counterpunch to deal with anything the Sentinels don't finish off and put more Flankers and Flank targets on the table. They'll be easier to position and get lots of damage out of than Skyreth and you've got the backup for them, unlike the Stormfall Archers.

Balanced Game: Noun. A game in which all options and choices are worth using.

The Stormfalls are useful because they have ranged attacks, which are important for making Vyros's feat work. Under no circumstances would I consider taking a Scyir (in any list) - even if you move past the fact that they are terrible jack marshalls the buffs Vyros can hand out (Bird's Eye, Mobility and his feat) are all battlegroup only.

Imperatus is good in any list - he is an amazing jack and all our casters can give him some form of buff. The Manticore is good with Vyros - its a focus hog if you want to fire the main gun fully, and you actually can on his feat turn, but the rest of the time its fairly focus efficient with Covering Fire. I definitely don't think you need the Pain Knight though, you already have 2 heavies (one of them being a real beatstick) and a unit of weaponmasters at 35pts which should be more than enough at this points level.

The main thing this list is missing is Arcanists. Usually with Ret if you are taking at least 1 jack you want to try and fit an Arcanist in, with 2 jacks you definitely want 2. If you take out Skyreth and put in 2 Arcanists you are looking at a few more points in solos to round out the list.
