I won't own a Knight for a very long time so this is a theory list. With the distraction a Knight will take it means that other vehicles will not get as much enemy focus upon them, making a mech list much more viable. Especially BA who have fast tanks so will have the synergy to keep up with the knight. A couple of ravens can deal with AA.

Lots of podding melta so shouldn't need the errants large melta blast. 2 battle cannon shots are a better trade off for 5pts. Want to tarpit the knight? 3 Baal preds don't like that idea so much...

And best of all - the Knight is scoring!!!

I like this list... vindicator doesn't seem necessary though. Something else?

I put the vindi in because with the knight it may get to actually last longer than 2 turns. Cant really think what else to include for its 145pts with no FA slots left... any extra pod will be arriving turn 2 as well so that will reduce a pod units effectiveness. What else is there for those points in HS, Elites or troops that could have the same alpha strike impact? There must be something... I just can't think.

What I could do is run a ml dev squad, leave the libby near by to prescience. With the 15pts spare either upgrade the baals sponsoons to hbs or give the scouts camo cloaks. I just find ml devs sub-par, but I suppose they can take out transports rather than tanks with the melta drops and knight doing the heavy AT lifting.

Why don't you take out a deep striking melta squad for a fragioso?

-vindi
-2 infernus pistols
-melta gun

+furioso with melta gun, frag cannon, magna grapple and pod
+2 flamers (1 for each podding unit)

That a plan you think?
