Thoughts on the new Hellrain Scion Formation?

A new Imperial guard starter set is coming out for the Scions, complete with formation. I've always wanted to take these guys but were put off by their steep points cost. Now that has changed with this formation...

MILITARUM TEMPESTUS HELLRAIN BRIGADE!

FORMATION
1 Commissar,
1 Militarum Tempestus Command Squad,
1 Unit of Militarum Tempestus Scions,
1 Taurox Prime

Special Rule: Hellrain Reinforcements
Each time a unit in this formation is completely destroyed, you can... if the commissar is still alive, immediately place a new unit into ongoing reserves that is identical to the unit that was destroyed (this includes size, weapons and upgrades. These reserve units arrive via deep strike.
Used to love suicide veteran squads back when I first started playing guard and with this ability to strike numerous times would allow Scions to feel that role! Not sure what I do with the Taurox Prime though?
So I'm very interested to know your thoughts and how you'd field this formation?
