Ave dominus Machina!

After some test play with my brother where I tried fielding couple of units of Corpuscarii Electro Priests I realized that it doesn't synergize well with AdMech Canticles - I simply didn't have anything to aim for. More savvy player in this situation would simply forgo their canticles and bring in some allies to not have to worry about it, but I'm not a savvy player - I'm AdMech purist. So I redone whole list.

HQ:
Tech-Priest Dominus
Eradication Ray
Macrostubber

My mini Onager. Eradication ray works surprisingly well on Tech-Priests giving them a nice ranged "punch". Was really afraid that he is a ~140 points army tax but was pleasantly surprised - he still is a nice powerhouse (even if he can't fire his Macrostubber alongside of Eradication Ray) and works as wondrous tarpit (where he can now fire his Macrostubber!).

Troops:

Kataphron Destroyers(3)
Grav-Cannon
Cognis Flamer

Overpriced but still nice. Kills tough units and can hose down hordes with it's S5 15 shots. I tend to bring one squad to round up points.

Elites:

Infiltrators (5)
Flachette Blaster + Taser Goads

Infiltrators (5)
Flachette Blaster + Taser Goads

Infiltrators (5)
Flachette Blaster + Taser Goads

My new obsession - they look great on paper - 2W, big base, Infiltration, decent weapon and a pistol to boot. Can Infiltrate, shoot their pistols and attempt to charge. With Shroudpsalm they can pretend to be Marines with 3+ Armour Save.

Heavy Support:

Onager Dunecrawler
Eradication Beamer

Onager Dunecrawler
Eradication Beamer

I'm a fan of Eradication Beamer. People tend to overlook this little gem of a gun - it's a real bargain even if it's not as efficient at removing others people heavy support. I can attest that it works really well in small points games.

What do you think about it? Should I change something or did something work differently in your experience? Please share your thoughts!

In my limited experience using Infiltrators, I found them kind of flimsy. They're very vulnerable to guns that do two damage like autocannons or overcharged plasma, which seem to be pretty prevalent. I actually have found success with the electropriests even if they don't benefit from shroudpsalm. I am curious at how the eradication beamers will do, I've often thought they were overlooked by folks.
