This list is simply what I intend to gravitate towards when using my Scythes in a 2k Campaign-style game...I haven't aay such campaigns planned or anything, but this is going to be my display army for those occasions, or if I ever get around to buying proper glass cabinets.

Obviously, the list lacks a bunch of critical elements for serious play, but it should certainly look the part, and sometimes that's what an army you build is supposed to do.
As far as building it goes, I'm about 65% done, which is nice - though there's a lot of work after that, especially painting bloody yellow! lol [Tips appreciated, because even though I have to use the same method now for consistency's sake, I'm planning a force of Imperial Fists also, so...]
Some elements of the list are going to be retained for the Competitive Scythes list, ie, the Troops and Fast Attack selections. They're already Tabletop, though my Speeders maybe need some work, I've lost track of how many are painted to what degree. Not convinced by the Predator, partly cos I hate and don't rate HBs, partly because I went to the trouble of converting 2 Riflemen, so I'd just employ those instead! lol

It's always good to have a release from competative lists etc and actually get enjoyment out of doing some like this.
Seems like a decent enough list, even for being fluff. Of course 3 SC's etc... not exactly great, but its hardly battleforce or anything.
Any pictures?
My confirmation word is munwit, don't know why that made me chuckle :/
I'll buy in here... What makes the part with a Vindicator? I totally get the other stuff, but the Pred and Vindi? Not so sure. Elite force of Nid hunters yes... where is your Venerable Dread? Chaplain Dread?
There will be some floating around my photobucket, but most of the army looks a little naff at present...this is a continuing project, not a finished one. :)
Zenos - That Vindicator served with distinction on Miral Prime. In the Third Battle for The Giant's Coffin, it achieved 37 confirmed kills on Tyranid warriors before being immobilised by a Carnifex brood. Ancient Pelennor gave his life to rescue the Vindicator, his Seismic Hammer reaping a terrible toll on the Xenos before falling at the hands (?) of the last remaining Dominatrix - though not before gashing it's side sufficiently to force a retreat and an end to the battle.
Following a refit and repairs, the Voice of the Emperor's Glory is back in service to the Imperium, serving with distinction once more.
That, or I already have it painted, and had 125 points to spend. Take your pick. :P
