1k toaster list advice for doubles tourney
Greetings, toaster-lovers. There's a 2v2 tourney coming up with 1k per player (each player also gets their own warlord+trait+relic, but get to share CP). My partner will most likely be playing black templar. We're both pretty flexible in what we can bring, so I figured gunlining was probably going to be my focus, as that's what admech is really good at. 1000 points isn't a lot to play with, so sacrifices have to be made. I tend to favor mars with cawl giving robots full rerolls, but I don't know if spending an extra 100 points to upgrade my reroll aura is worth it. It's certainly a very powerful aura, especially now that it works in overwatch too, but do you think Cawl's stats, wargear, and aura are worth the extra 100 points? Maybe.
And if I'm not bringing Cawl, do you think I should still be going mars for the wrath of mars and 2 canticles bit? Or should I go ryza for plasma destroyer strat? Or stygies for -1 to hit? I think stygies is usually used if you're running dragoons or dunecrawlers. If most of my weapons are 36" do you think that leaves too narrow a window for the -1 usefulness?
For now I was thinking some variant of this type of list.
988 for maximum robots annihilating everything
HQ dominus w/volkite + phosphor serpenta 92
HQ techpriest enginseer 30
TRP rangers x5 w/2 arquebuses 65
TRP rangers x5 w/2 arquebuses 65
TRP rangers x5 35
ELI datasmith w/powerfist + gamma pistol 41
HVY 3x kastelan robots w/3 heavy phosphor blasters 330
HVY 3x kastelan robots w/3 heavy phosphor blasters 330
997 for robot/plasma balance
HQ dominus w/volkite + phosphor serpenta 92
HQ techpriest enginseer 30
TRP rangers x5 w/2 arquebuses 65
TRP rangers x5 w/2 arquebuses 65
TRP rangers x5 w/1 arquebus 50
TRP plasma destroyers w/phosphor blasters x6 = 324
ELI datasmith w/powerfist + gamma pistol 41
HVY 3x kastelan robots w/3 heavy phosphor blasters 330
996 for robot/plasma balance and wanting to try out breachers >_>
HQ dominus w/volkite + phosphor serpenta 92
HQ techpriest enginseer 30
TRP rangers x5 w/2 arquebuses 65
TRP rangers x5 w/2 arquebuses 65
TRP breachers w/heavy arc rifles + arc claws x3 = 90
TRP plasma destroyers w/phosphor blasters x6 = 324
HVY 3x kastelan robots w/3 heavy phosphor blasters 330
Basically I'd love to see people's take on the most busted 1k admech list they can cook up. The tourney allows forgeworld, but only 0-1 of each unit. I have access to just about anything admech. Electropriests, hoplites, drills, you name it.

I think that second list is the way to go. I've been toying with the stygies forge world just to see how it feels locally, but Ryza seems like it might be the better option in that setup. Rangers with aquebus are just super good, and I've enjoyed bringing destroyers to small events. 1000 points does limit you but full dakka bots is tough to beat.
