The Void Dragon infuenced the Mechanicums designs and tech, so are the elctro-priests of the Mechanicus derived from the lightening warriors of the void dragon?

Yes?
Did he have lightning warriors? If so then very possibly though i think the extent of his influence was making them obssessed with technology though some of his... plans could have seeped through.

Yeah the void dragons necrons were known to all be wreathed in lightning with the power to shoot it at will.

Well then... he has just shot up my "Most awesome of 40k" ladder...

Where did lightning warriors come from? As to your question; I dont see why not.

It comes from The Cripple And The Dragon.

"In a transcript of a Vox-communication between one Inquisitor Horst and a Tech-priest Alagos, the Void Dragon is mentioned as the most powerful of all the Star Gods and that it had the ability to create almost invincible warriors. Also, it is mentioned that the warriors could channel lightning into their foes, perhaps related to a Necron Lord's lightning field"

Yeah, didn't the Eldar beat them with Wraithguard or something?

Okay, read up on Lexicanum. To finish up Thae'akzi's quote

"The Necrons at the time, though much more powerful than the recently emerged ones, were stopped by a force of Eldar warriors known as the "Iron Knights", or simply "Knights", powered by the souls of departed Eldar.1 This is before the rise of Slaanesh, so the souls of the Eldar would not be consumed, although where they went is unstated.

It appears now that the Eldar constructs were immune to the lightning bolts of the Necrons, indicating that perhaps these Necrons were not armed with the more familiar Gauss weaponry, perhaps a later modification made after these battles. It is possible that these Iron Knights are in some way related to the ancient Wraithguard, as they bear remarkable similarities to each other. They were also led by Wraith-Giants, possibly related to the Wraithlord, again with many similarities. It is said that many waves of Necrons were brought forth, but none could beat the Iron Knights, nigh-invincible as they were."
