Please forgive my ignorace, but what is the actual difference between the three Legios for Mechanicum 30k? Is it just what troops(armys) and characters they can field? What are the fluff differences?

 "Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

Glorious Lord of Chaos
The burning pits of Hades, also known as Sweden in summer

To sum it up:
Cybernetica is the division that focuses on automata and robots. Castellax, Thanatar, and so on.
Ordo Reductor are siege specialists.
Taghmata is the general Mechanicus army.

O.k., Thanks. That helps a lot. Another question, can Taghmata take units from the other two?

The Taghmata is made up of whatever the Magi can cobble together in the way of armed forces (not including standing forces like the skitarii, knights and titans), so yes, they often have units on loan from the other two.

Why must I always choose beween certain death and probable death. |

Fluffwise, the Taghmata is a feudal ordering of the various vassals of a forgeworld for war. So it could contain anything from Skitarii to macrotechs. The Archimandrite basically calls up his underlings and demands troops, and they call up their retainers who call their own supporters and so on.
Of course, it sucks to be the lowly enginseer who has to stand out in the middle of the battlefield and fight because the Myrmadon's were more expensive...
