Killing Andre gets you the Blacksmith Hammer, lets you save 20,000 souls from buying the Crest of Artorias (which you don't really even need), and you get to see his wicked drop kicks.

You really shouldn't kill Andre because he's pretty important. Without Andre you are locked out of the Standard Path 6-15, Raw Path, Divine Path, Occult Path, Lightning Path, Crystal Path, and any Boss Soul weapon. You typically shouldn't go around murdering people for shits and giggles (which you've clearly already done, Yulia), especially those that offer services. The best option is always to save your murder spree until right before you move into NG+. Since the entire game resets it doesn't matter who you kill.
