And I know I get Scout and all that, but man...comparing this to another T3 army with mid-range weapons, imagine if I just had 2 units of footslogging DE, and 2 5 man units each with a haywire blaster...fuck man they'd get stomped!
Part of me feels like in order to get the bodies I need, I might just have to rock 1850 of Admech on their own, so I can get 4-6 full 10 man squads, and add lascannons to the Ironstriders, grab an Aegis line, and maybe even add in another Onager or two. Bah, who wants to help me playtest this list at Davids this weekend? Of course I'll be proxying the admech, since I'm hesitant to commit to $600 of models if they aren't going to work the way I want them to (ugh Harlequins, et tu?)

We used to have one at Galactic Force like 3 years ago...used it for Tournament Seeding. I recall, I meant more like "why don't we have one now." Where's Russel at when you need him. what

According to the rumor mill Cult Admech drops sometime soon, so maybe you should hold off and see if it complements the Skitaari well.

I had to type in "Coach Knight" to find out who that was. Sports are my kryptonite. When I worked for the moving company, Move-Tastic, I got sooooooo much shit for not knowing who "DRose" was. So many head shakes and so much disbelief. "He's on every billboard in this city. Hang on... *truck's driving" There. He's right there!" *shrug*
That being said. Faeit212 announced a redirect for Electro-Priests.
ELECTRO-PRIESTS!!!
In 2nd Edition they has "electtoos" which were circuitry embedded in their skin like tattoos, and they did bear hug shock treatments. THEY WERE THE WEAPON!!!
I'm ready to flip over all the furniture in my apartment out of excitement at the thought of them coming because the whole concept is ridiculous/awesome.

Dude so ridiculous, I can't wait to see what else comes out for these guys - hopefully they get their OWN knight variant too! Who knows?!?!? I'm about to run through a freaking WALL right now

I want to marry you. Not your crown, or your army. Just you.

Is the max unit size typically 10? Because you're not wrong, 10 T3 guys aren't terribly hard to knock out... decent armor/cover and FnP-light will certainly help... but... yeah. One way or another bulking out your core troops will likely be a good idea (and they don't look like terrible troops, at least... they're putting out some dece fire power).
PS - if you go unbound, you you lose all detachment benefits? I'm a newb and don't know how 7th works. Could you just take the Atari formation (trademarked) and then toss in a fancy knight for giggles? Or would that wreck your whole scouting thing, which is completely amazingly sweet?
PS - totally do that formation where you scout everything. My Nids are so jealous. So are my DE. So is every army, ever. No ObSec is a pain and can hurt in a lot of ways, but that is a *really* sweet benefit, no doubt.

Yes, unbound means you forgo using any and all detachments, and thereby do not get any benefits therein. All of your army has to be bound, or none of it is.
But its not hard to take the Skitarii formation for the Scout, and a Knight formation of a single knight, thereby keeping it bound...which is what I've done here.
And yes, the unit size is 10 - so I can pop out 6 max sized units, 3 with triple Haywire rifles, 3 with triple plasma, but it costs like 1000 points on its own. The 10 man units with trip-plasma are freaking 200 points, woof. Maybe I don't need the plasma, and should focus all of them to be anti-vehicle? Keeps them to 165 per 10 man unit, and I can let the Knight and the other shit deal with heavy infantry. Plus, their rad-guns do extra damage with their special rule, so they might be able to deal with infantry just the same without having the AP2.
