I'm looking for suggestions on what to add to this list to make it a nasty 1500pt all comers list. Other factions I have are Blood Angels and Knights but I am okay with buying more units for ad-mech. Any suggestions are appreciated!

I would add more Kataphrons.

Depending on you missions you might add them to the existing units or make new units.

Also since you already have Knights throw in a Knight they are thematic and quality.

Not a fan of the other units in the book.

Still having some trouble balancing this out to a good 1500pt list. I'm not against making purchases from other armies to help out. I just need some tips!

Another unit of Grav Destroyers is never a bad choice and a couple of small units of Corpuscarii are very good. They provide the horde control you lack elsewhere.

I feel like the robots would deal with hordes decently, Do you think they electro priests are really worth their cost?

Corpuscarii are in MSU. 90 points isn't much. Take say 30 toxin gaunts your robots don't want to fight that. Choose the Electromancer Canticle and see what 5 Corpuscarii do to that 240 point unit.

10 shots= 10 hits before rerolls, 3.33 rerolls total 13.33 hits ~ 9 wounds 7.5 dead gaunts.

Charge 20 HoW hits 13.33 wounds total 19 dead Hormagaunts. 22 attacks back 5.5 wounding hits 2 dead priests. 9 attacks back 11.25 hits another 7 dead hormagaunts. Now there's just 4 Hormagaunts left which get killed by the 9 hits next turn. 3 Corpuscarii walk out so you've lost 36 points killing 240...

Corpuscarii are good, they are easy to kill but they're cheap so you don't care. If someone shoots at them instead of your Kataphrons you should be happy. If not they deliver a brutal amount of damage, potentially 95 S4 hits from the unit in a turn.

Fulgarites are awful, but Corpuscarii have their uses.

I hope you end up being right! I went out and bought a box on my lunch hour yesterday

Cool where did you get them so I can call and get my commission

People will underestimate them which will help keep themalive. But be careful and don't stick them in the open until they are ready to charge. Then ensure you use the Electromancer canticle that turn. They won't disappoint

I bought a box of five but still need to fill more points. Do you think it is worth it to run two units then add another unit of grav servitors? Otherwise I may just take my BA as allies to get a librarian for divination.

Yeah they work best in pairs of units. Another box of Grav Destroyers would fill out the list and IMO make a decent list
