Subject: Any reason for guard players to take an imperial knight instead of baneblade/shadowsword?

Or just allying in Coteaz + a full battery of thudd guns. If you deep strike within melta range of the tank just put your models back in the box. In fact, you might as well not bother attempting to deploy them at all.
There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

Only wrap your Baneblades in Conscripts, as one lucky turn of enemy shooting can result in a GG as the resulting explosion can wipe all of your troop choices. Been there, done that....
I'm both orderly and rational. I value control, information, and order. I love structure and hierarchy, and will actively use whatever power or knowledge I have to maintain it. At best, I am lawful and insightful; at worst, I am bureaucratic and tyrannical.
