HQs. The idea is to spend as little on them as possible so you have more to put into those knights.
Ok, I am confused. I did not start to play a long time ago, but low quality shoting is the only thing knights have. All their shoting weapons are bad, and the melee weapons aren't that much better. All they have are a ton of low strengh shoting with no
ap.
From the rest of your post I assume you Infantry Squads instead of Knights there.
IG Infantry squads are not for killing stuff. They are for two things:
1) Fulfilling requirements in a Battalion cheaply to get a bunch of
CP
2) Being very cheap wounds that get in the way of the enemies plans. So called 'chaff'. You use them to take up board space to stop deep striking units getting to your valuable units, to stick on objectives, and to be generally more effort to remove than the opponent really wants to spend on them.
