As far as overall status, the vault list is out of date. It has been on hold because I was waiting for the Black Legion list to finalize (and to a lesser extent the Lost and Damned). I got tired of doing constant revisions based on the changes in the BL. It's probably time to go ahead and send in version 2.0.

Changes will definitely include:
1) Use the updated BL summoning system/daemon costs.
2) TSons Retinue is 400 points. (v. 350)
3) Silver Towers are 90 points each. (v. 75)
4) Rubric Chosen are 80 points each (v. 75)
They will possibly include some of the stuff from the margin comments in the vault list. Right now I'm leaning towards dropping the price of Warp Flame for vehicles and changing out the titan weapons for more arcane versions.
If you'd like a MS Word copy of the work-in-progress, just let me know.

You can expect at least a 10% overall cost increase for the same army and depending on your prefered force composition possibly quite a bit more. It will still need adjustment but that should be much closer.
With respect to your specific question about the cost of armor units, they are correct. The Black Legion armor is 25 points per unit cheaper than SM equivalents and the point values are based on BL. It is generally expected that the SM armor will drop in points in the upcoming rules review.
If you play with the list, I would love to hear some feedback. It should be low on activations because the basic formations are expensive and it tends to be sort of slow.
It usually works out that the armor and Silver Towers trade fire with the enemy units with good ranged fire while the TSons formations attempt to close to assault range.
