Revised. I think the way to do the more 'alien' Mechanicus units is to have them beep and whistle threateningly (I liked the Drones in the movie Oblivion) OR to have the Commanding Unit (Archmagos?) talk about them. Not to have the Scyllax themselves talk - they are little more than killy servitors after all... So when there is a voice below - it's the Archmagos! I imagine the Archmagos very similar to the IG Tech Priest voice (which I love - a sneery Darth Sidious type). In fact I'd love to do the voice myself if I may!
I recommend that as they are powered by a Rad Furnace that they do poison damage when they die to anything nearby - perhaps in an explosion?
