If you're having a twin-linked Heavy Flamer on a RB then it's FF should be Ignore Cover too. I'm surprised you left the twin-HB one in as well, I would have though the HF would do that better, while the twin-Las one would be useful as well for shooting the big ones and tackling the many tyranid AVs.
Well I was trying to go with your idea they would use lots of anti Tyranid weapons and AP suggests that but I'm OK with either really.

Two versions of the Stormtalon in one list? Seems confusing and a bad idea to me. The visual difference between the two is negligible on a 40k scale, just a different end poking out of an otherwise identical gun pod:The difference between the fighter and the fighter bomber would be hard to notice for people to notice and not very WYSIWYG. Fighter Stormtalon only please.
Just ditch the need for a bomber? People rarely take bombers in any case and if the Scythes list is slightly limited in this aspect, put it down to their limited supplies.
Or give them a SM aircraft bomber? e.g. the Thunderhawk Bomber would be the best candidate and if they have Thunderhawks it's simple for them to equip them with bombs if they don't have the IN around. Or the Storm Eagle could be a good candidate for a bomber as it's basically a heavily armed half-Thunderhawk with a 2BP missile launcher on top.
A Thunderhawk bomber might work.

I'm still not keen on changing the role of the RB from that in all other chapters. I agree that Scythes would rely on RBs more than other chapter's due to their limited options, but I think having the better HF RB in the list would encourage more to be used as transports and more would be seen that way anyway.
Well given their lack of armour types I think the Scythes would be the prime candidates for this formation and would have as many anti-tyranid vehicles they could muster. The HF RB adds to the arsenal.

I thought so too however Heavy Flamers are not Ignore Cover so Twin just means +1 to hit. The stats you're proposing are the Flame Storm Cannon's.
I can keep the Lazor Back if that's what people want...?
