Hello !
my first post here !

I started an Admech army this summer, and it's just over 1000 pts !
i'm aiming at an 2000 pts list, so what units should i go for next, list as follows ...

HQ
Tech-Priest Dominus [7 PL, 131pts]
Eradication Ray [10pts], Omnissian Axe, Phosphoenix [6pts]

Elites
5x Sicarian Infiltrators with Taser and Flechette Blaster

Troops
3x Kataphron Destroyers with heavy grav canon, and flamer.(thinking of using magnets )
10 x rangers with 1x plasma 1x Arc rifle and alpha with taser, Phosphor blast pistol.
10 x vanguard with 1x plasma 1x Arc rifle
10 x vanguard with 1x plasma 1x Arc rifle

Heavy attack
1x Onager Dunecrawler with heavy stubber and Neutron Laser with heavy stubber,
1x Onager Dunecrawler with heavy stubber and Icarus Array.

this should me around 1054 pts <3

so what do you think? i'm for the most part playing against Tau, and eldar, and spacewolfs and a littil bit agains necrons
My list is very slow on the battlefield, and i struggle with map control, what should i get next?
i would love to get a knight someday, is it worth it in a 2000 pts list?

First the Phosphoenix is 4 points as it replaces the Ph serpent which went down in points. If your using Battlescribe they got those points wrong along with some others, I would double check with the codex and chapter approved.

Ad Mech is in general a slow army and the more speedy things tend to be a little fragile. I would focus more on heavy weapons. Firstly I would suggest more Kataphron Destroyers with Plasma Culverins and phosphor blasters. I was recently in a tournament with a very un optimized list and I had a unit with them. I kept them near a dominus (I would suggest at least one more then fill some more Hq slots with Enginseers), kept supercharging and they routinely had results. Your three units of skitarii can be split so they should be good for objective control. Also Kastalans. I can not stress how good they are. The kit comes with a Datasmith then you need to decide which variety you want. I suggest you make both of them the same then if you get more you can make that decision later. First variety you deck them out with heavy Phosphor Blasters, park them in a good spot, change them to protector mode and fire away. Second and my favorite is give them both the fists and a secondary of your choosing and have them rush the enemy to rip them apart. I like keeping them in Aegis protocol as the defensive boost works with my play style and the Lucius Dogma I mostly use but Conqueror is really good if timed correctly.

Also yes a Knight is very worth it.

You need to plan ahead. if you plan to go solo ad mech you need to invest in Cawl robots etc.

if you heading the knight style then two knights and different ad mech.

One knight is not superb two are really good with ad mech.Dominus healer with healing and extra healing rerolls all for a crusader knight dakka in the back field.

For your current list.
Dont mix weapons. Make a unit with arc a unit with plasma and a unit with snipers.Roles help you play the unit.
sniper will camp and wont move in back field prefered stygies.
Arc go both roanger and vanguard i use them for my screenr vanguard and taser to alpha .or since you only have started a vangurd unit only taser to alpha ana a second unit of ranger with arc. and arc pistol to alpha. so it shoud look like this

1x10 rangers 3xarc 1x arc pistol
1x10 rangers 3x snipers omnispex better if 2x5x3 snipers both omnispex
1x10 vanguard alpha taser datatether.

need an enginseer or a second dominus and make this a battalion for 3+ cp.

IF you decide to go with Cawl then buy him and 4 robots use the datasmiths for enginseers. keep this battalion stygies and move destryers robots and 2 onagers with cawl in a spear head detachment.
IF you looking for mobility and usually that is what i susggest if you are new make a stygies battalion with.

cheap
2x1enginseer
1x3 breachers
2x5 vang tasers
10 staff priests
1x4-6 dragoons

can work also as stygies outrider
1xdominus or enginseer

2x1 lasc balistarii
1x3-4 dragoons.

for knight setup
2 knights one Crusader one for melee options.
your 1k list as we made it but dominus must be near knight and take warlord trait and relic for healing.

hope that helps
