Think i need to change this or is it a pretty solid list for a Militerum Tempestus army at 1000 points?

Personally I would drop the plasma pistol, with the 12" range you will be in charge distance of other units and you don't want that. Also why not take a 10 man squad in the Hellrain formation? I would take the 15 points from the pistol and add one more scion into a squad and also consider dropping one special in the command squad from the formation and adding in a medi-pack for a little bit of added survivability, you need to keep the commissar alive

I might switch the Plasma Pistol to the Hell Rain MT Command Squad Prime since everything in that squad will be 12inch shots already vs being attched to HSVG squad that shoot at 24inchs. Also the reason why i didnt take a ten man squad for Hell Rain was due to the fact larger squads Deep Striking in have higher chance of mishaps. Second it makes it that much longer for me to get my "new squad" when the old one is destroyed. I see you were going for more survivability with more troops vs Drop a 5-6 man squad in by grav chute, then do a suicide mission towards enemy.Also worse case scenerio..i have a 10 man sqd and both melta gunners die! now i got to rely on certain orders to finish the job vs a smaller sqd were worse scenerio it gets wiped out but then can grav chute in again into a different target or angle. yea would suck if it was kill point missions, but then obviously id change tactics.

taurox are better at 1000 points than 1850. (they're awesome at 500 or less) but still, deploy those vehicles near cover and objectives because they're gonna get poppped and their passengers will be walking.

I planned to do exactly that! Or place one or two in reserve!
