The Militarum Tempestus has occasionally been known to send Scion squads to permanently assist regiments of the Imperial Guard, particularly those skilled at aerial assault, such as the [[Elysian Drop Troops]] and [[Harakoni Warhawks]]. Whilst not native to these regiments, the attached Scions will still form up to act as their most elite and deadly troops.{{Fn|19b}}
Troublesome Scions who have disciplinary problems or fail to follow orders are grouped together into their [[Regiment]]'s '''Eradicant Formations'''. Composed of squadrons that are led by a [[Tempestor]], they are given names like '''First Eradicant''' and so on. The Eradicant Squadrons are then given extremely difficult missions to accomplish, which fulfills the two goals that Tempestus Scion Regiments have for for the Formations. The first is the successful completion of a mission, which retrains these wayward Scions enough that they are deemed suitable to be able to rejoin their Regiment. The second is that the Eradicants die in battle and either result is seen as a positive for their Regiments. There is also a chance, though, that even after successfully completing a mission, a Scion can still be deemed to be not ready to leave the Eradicants. In that case, the survivors will remain with their squadrons, which will receive replacements for their losses, or they will be merged with other Eradicant squadrons, as they await their next mission. However it is considered unusual and surprising, if a Scion is still an Eradicant after eight months. This is because entire squadrons are frequently wiped out during their missions, with only the squadron's name living on after it is reformed with new Eradicants.{{Fn|33}}
