Just like the title says. Just needed peoples help with a question

If you had to chose either 2x 5 scarabs swarms or 4 stormteks (no extras) 1 veiltek (with the veil) and an orb lord?

Obviously for anti vehicle use

Well the scarbs are cheaper but can be taken down easier, the stormteks are more expensive but harder to put down. The scarabs can split up and take down multiple targets, the stormteks cant. The scarabs are melee so its harder for them to deal damage, the stormteks are ranged. Its really a matter of preference, I would take scarabs since I love the models and I usually have my royal court filled up by a disco dance inferno, unless im playing escalation of course then I'm taken the stormteks and anrakyr for loldar titan killing

4 stormteks is OTT unless your killing titans! 3 stormteks will strip an average of 5 hull points... Don't bother with the res orb lord - its a suicide unit as it is so a total waste of 65pts.
3 stormteks and a veiltek come to 145pts and will achieve the same job as 4 stormteks a veiltek and a res orb.
1 other suggestion - give the veiltek a cloak to make opponents units run away. Well worth the extra 10 points and can be directed at units the stormteks aren't shooting.

If 4 stormteks are attached 1 each to 4 units if warriors in n scythes then that's quite useful. I wouldn't bother with a veil tek personally. Doesn't synergise brilliantly with anything other than 20man warrior blob. IMHO
