Like so many others, I've fallen for the Legio Cybernetica, and the image of huge robots implacably advancing on the enemy while laying down deadly hi tech fire.
I havent ever played 30K, but my local gaming group normally plays at 2500 points. Before I go ahead and buy the models im looking for a bit of back and forth on the list. Ive already run it past a friend of mine, so seeing if there is any other ideas about it.
The list would be my guideline to shop/convert

This list anchors on Anachris and except for the Homonculus and the Thralls, everything should stay within the 24" Cortex bubble.
As Anachris moves over the battlefield with the bubble the aim is to destruction everything within 24".
Having two of most units means there is some redundancy. Either they can split fire on separate targets, or concentrate it to destroy a tough target.
The Thanatars are the reason im doing this list, they are just awesome. Their plasma mortar takes on the termies, light vehicles and hordes. Vultarax do AA, anti Landraider and anti hoard. Thralls sit on objectives, screen or tarpit. the Kastellax clear take and contest objectives, The Homonculex causes havoc in the opposing players back field, Anachris hides among the Kastellax, helping where necessary.
so question is, it seems to me that this list is good to base my purchasing on, but do i change the bolters for more darkfire cannons? and are the tech thralls necessary with all the extras?
In the end I had 25 points left, that i spent on flamers for the Kastellax, but would "blessed auto simulacra" for the Vultarax be a better investment?
