Seriously GW... throw me this one bone. Just give me some kind of transport, and I will be happy being mid-tier for this entire Codex cycle. Even a Rhino would be fine. :-p

Just take the 5 models you need to from blood angels and get your 6 (fast) transports.

I would, but our local meta has a two-source limit, as do a few nearby communities. Skitarii + Cult Mechanicus, at least for now, use up these two sources, despite them being, realistically "Adeptus Mechanicus".

Sounds like your local meta needs to catch up with 7th edition...
Seriously, I went to pure imperial and you really need 3 sources to be competitive against the eldar neurons and daemons of the world who really only need 1

Lord of Cretacia: If this Detachment is chosen as your Primary Detachment, you can re-roll the result when rolling on the Flesh Tearers Warlord Traits table.

Nope, that's the detachment. This is the Formation:
Requirements: 3 Tactical Squads, 1 Assault Squad, 1 Vanguard Veteran Squad, 1 Furioso Dreadnought
Restrictions: None.
Special Rules:
Leading by Example: Whilst this Formation’s Vanguard Veteran squad is alive and on the battlefield, all units in this Formation ignore the penalties for disordered charges (including the penalty described in The Red Thirst, below) and have the Stubborn special rule.
The Red Thirst: In a turn in which a model from this Formation charges into combat, the model adds 1 to its Initiative characteristic until the end of the Assault phase. A model that has made a disordered charge that turn receives no benefit from the The Red Thirst.

Thanks. So you'd take 1 HQ and 1 Troop and then use all the FA slots for the Skitarii. So that's 6 models from the BA codex at minimum, not counting the transports. If podding in Skitarii is the idea, I would do 5 or 7 pods*. If 7 one of them would have to be a BA troop choice with a pod. Or maybe an elite choice with a pod. Something not FA with a pod is what I am getting at lol.
*This assumes Skitarii & BA only. If you are running 3 detachments (Skitarii, BA and something else that's substantial) then 3 pods would work fine...

That seems like it offers a lot of variety of playing styles. He must have good conversion skills to get that many Arc Rifles...or have bought a lot of boxes of Skitarii.
I like the teaser, so it seems like the other variety of Electro Priests may have giant electrical bracelets of some sort? I think I will like that better than the weapon option we have seen on the poster.

Thanks for the insights guys. IF, I can get my TO to recognize "Ad-Mech" as one source, I can easily sneak in such a tiny "tax" of Blood Angels to rectify the sole issue I have with Ad-Mech stuff thus far.

I suppose with the 6 boxes of Skitarii needed for the army he only needed another 9. I have some BA myself, so the idea of a combined arms force is interesting...Skitarii in a Stormraven could be expensive and fun.
Honestly I think I can get my group to recognize Skitarii and Cult as one book for CAD at least. You guys should try the same. As long as you believe strongly enough that they'll become one eventually.

They move 9 inches, they run faster.
Why put them in a Rhino where if it gets blown up you have a pretty good chance of losing half your squad at least.
It makes no sense.
Think smarter and give up the shackle of being bound to vehicles.
More bodies and better use of cover.
An Aegis is a good cheap investment.
A Landraider is something but when you get up in points like that you may as well start thinking about just popping in more for a Knight.

Hasn't Lords of War been freakishly close? I recall a few rumor-mongers nailing the releases of Harlequin, Skitarii, Eldar, Cult Mechanicus, back-to-back-to-back, and those same sources seeming confident that Codex Ad-Mech would be a thing.
Actually, Harry and LoW have been similarly excellent in calling out these and other pretty specific releases (Assassin's board-game, etc...), and both say Codex Ad-Mech is coming at some point after the two smaller books.
