Hey guys I'm starting Cult Mechancuim and Skitarii force combined and I just want to know what you give to your Tech Priests ?

Depends on which one. The dominus in my cohort doesn't get much in the way of weapon swaps, but normally gets the it will not die relic, while the dominus in my reliquery (the formation that deeps trikes on objectives) normally gets the eradication ray.

Haven't played them yet, but I picked up two dominus maniples recently, and the domini there will have phosphor serpenti.

The Dominus is marvellous Vanilla anyway.
Relic choices are what make yours shine, though, getting him to suit the theme of your list pretty well:

Typically, you'd stick him in a large unit of Kataphron Destroyers, and take the Autocad, giving them all IWND.
If you're doing this, take an Erad beamer, just so you can match the range of the Kataphrons.

If you're using a Knight, or bundle of Dunecrawlers, give him the Uncreator Gauntlet & Stasis field, and just spend all your time repairing. Don't even expect to do any shooting.
(If there's nothing to repair, try harder)

If you use the Cohort Cybernetica, the Raiment of the Technomartyr is damn good.
Too good to not use, really.
- The entire formation counts as a single unit, which can include 12 Robots and 6 Datasmiths.
Now you've a metric fudge-tonne of Cognis firepower.

Heck, the Raiment is awesome with a 10-man unit of Vanilla Vanguard, shooting down FMC. 30 shots, hitting on 5's. Very nice, and also means you don't need to /almost/ waste points on an Icarus Crawler.

Always give a conversion field. For 5 points you get a 4++? totally worth it.

Can get annoying when all ur grav Kats get blinded though (and they probally will thanks that low initiative)
