One thing I really don't like about the Ad Mech codex is how they made the Servitor unit extremely pointless. I wouldn't care as much if they were just bad but right now they really have no point. Back in 7th if you had servitors with servo-arms you got a bonus to restoring hull points or repairing vehicles with a tech priest. Now in 8th it is a lot easier to heal units, though now vehicles have a lot more wounds so it makes sense but know the only point of Servitors are to make two take heavy weapons, that other units can use better and the servo-arm is left as a powerful but not very useful melee weapon.
So to solve this two things need to be done:
First give the Tech-marine the Tech-Priest keyword.
Second the Servitor unit gets the following rule
Blessings of the Omnissiah: when a friendly <Forge World> Tech-Priest repairs a Vehicle within 3" of this unit roll a dice for every model equiped with a Servo-arm. For each roll of 4+ the model regains 1 lost wound. A unit of Servitors may only repair a single model using this ability once per turn.
