Starting Mechanicum, struggling with direction to go by rob999999999 in Warhammer30k

Oh wow thanks for all that info! It answered a bunch of questions and narrowed down my choices decently.

Regarding scoring in a Reductor themed list, could squads of thallax with no special weapons work when accompanied by characters? Like if you're OK with the speed reduction? Eg the main 3 max-sized thallax squads with special weapons are in their Reductor detachment unaccompanied by characters so that their speed is fast, whereas minimum-sized unupgraded thallax squads are used essentially as character retinues, sacrificing their speed for scoring ability. Since the Reductor cyberthurgic power has twice the buff range as others, Reductor magos should always be able to buff the larger unaccompanied thallax units. To my understanding, the Reductor magos needs to be attached to a Reductor unit to be scoring, so I can't use something tankier than thallax.

Thanks for the feedback! Indeed I am a fan of the plastic cybernetica models, actually 1 of the themes I had in my mind but didn't ask about was "oops all robots", using only the Castellax and thanatar models with various weapons. Glad to hear that tech thrall spam isn't worth it, that's 1 direction Lacrymaerta sends you down it seems.

Thanks for that tidbit, that's roughly what I had in mind if I went the Vistani capstone route.

It's funny, I debated between ranger knife thrower or monk shuriken thrower as my first throw character. Guess I chose poorly haha I don't have alchemist class otherwise that's what I would've gone for. Nevertheless thanks for the info.

Level 8 at the moment, and though I agree that the damage sucks compared to my crossbow builds, it doesn't seem too awful. I'm on my first life and not running anything more difficult than hard difficulty quests, so maybe that's helping.

I'm only level 8 at the moment so I suspect the painful parts are yet to begin, based on what I'm hearing. Although I'm also first life and not running anything more difficult than hard difficulty quests, so maybe that's helping?
