In light of recent Imperial Guard rules changing the Hammer of the Emperor rule to not be valid in a Guard army if it contains both Tempestus Scions and normal guard units, I decided to replace my Tempestus Scion squad with a veteran squad and another bullgryn. I don’t want my painted Scions to go to waste though as they are the first Warhammer models that I’ve ever painted, so I wanted to use them to make up my veteran squad. Is this an accepted thing to do in the Warhammer community or am I gonna get judged heavily by majority in the community?

For a friendly game, my experience has been no one is troubled with using one model instead of another as long as it's clear: for example, if you use a Scion as a veteran, all Scions in the army are veterans.

Tournaments are likely to have their own rules which might well be stricter.

That makes sense. Thank you for responding to my question!
