Well lets do some math
Skitarii Battle mantiple - 600 points using Dragoon
Knights - 325 using a Gallant
Cult using 1 of everybody - 890
1815 minimum.
Doable for those of us that play at 1850 - 35 points to fill out bodies, not much but workable

And not bad at all for those that play 2000 points*. It is also nice to see armies with a bit of everything rather than the same 2/3 units spammed again and again.
*Which is, of course, dependent upon the Mechanicus Detachment being one of everything like the Skitarii.

Those Dominus rules are so good. Basically a Terminator IC with shooting and healing power. Only downside I really see is LD9.
What's the Eradication Ray he can upgrade to?

18 points for a guardsmen stat line. Ah gee. I was looking forward to these guys. But rules wise they are looking like the 1st true dud unit of all these ad mec units.

There's something to be said for functionally fearless models with hatred and instant death on 6's, but not at 18ppm with low T and 5++.

Kataphrons are poor Assault units, though.

Bought a lot of Tempestus heads (helmets) for my Skitarii (I use the hooded heads for other conversions, mostly priests and minions). Looking at the Electro-priests I think I could use the Vanguard heads too.

The only reason we know to take them is if you want to fill out a formation with a tax. 5 is all you would ever want.

mega dud. Im wondering if they are mandrake bad.
Which got me thinking, actually they are somewhat similar. Both are T3 with a 5++. Both are overcosted. The assault version is an assault unit without grenades. The shooty version has a str4 assault 2 weapon.

Well at least the priests have FNP so 5++/5+++ which, while not competitive, is at least usable since they do rock hard in CC. Getting them there though, well I'll leave that to better players to figure out.

Honestly, if I ever find any need to take them, I'll probably just convert the Elctrovores out of Empire flagellants.

they rock hard AFTER the have killed another unit. 5++ and then 5+ FNP on T3 isn't much. You would probably rather have a 3+ save. Then they have 2 attacks and a power maul. Not exactly the most exciting thing in the game

If you had taken a minute more you may have noticed that some of them aren't on the website... 
They're OOP models from 3rd edition though.
