Total: 1500 on the dot.

General Tactics:
Blob up with coteaz behind aegis, Veterans in Vendeta for ballsy late game objective taking, and the Knights on the Flanks charging up the field. I have not fielded or played against any Knights yet, basically Im wondering if 2 is enough at 1500 and if they are worth buying. CC Please!

I'm pretty certain that you'll have to atleast one troop choice from your allied attatchment.
So it's kinda hard to only have Coteaz and no henchmen/GK,
and the GK codex is only allies of convenience with IG so he can not join your Guardsmen and is therefore easy to pick out.

And now a question, can you actually take Knights in a non apocalypse battle?

Nope its from the Inquisition Detachment and you can take Coteaz by himself.

Any other CCs, would love to hear from people who play 1500 points a lot, think your list could handle two Knights??

I played against 3 Knights Primary and IG allies at 1850 a few nights ago. It was relic so scoring bodies was the key.

That being said, I tabled the IG and killed his Warlord Knight, however, I ran out of meltas/high Strength weapons near the end (because he focused them down) and simply couldn't kill the Knight holding the objective.

The list above has knights as their allies which, if I recall, makes them non-scoring. If you haven't noticed where I'm going with this, it's really easy for someone to kill your scoring and make the game difficult for OP. However, that being said, Knights 3-4 Str: D attacks weren't very effective at WS4, the stomps didn't really do much either unless he rolled a 6 and removed all under the template. They don't do that much damage, they are simply hard to remove/kill. Since they are allies in this list, you don't really NEED to remove them.

YMMV

Thanks for the input! Im pretty sure one of the knights is scoring in the allied unit?

Also I guess at 1500 points im wondering how many lists can really handle two knights. Games I grea tthe 4+ invuln from Coteaz will really help the blob stay alive, since you can go to ground for 2 up cover and use the orders to get them back on their feet and fire at full BS.

Curious what army and what type of list were you running?

Nah only Knights in the primary detachment counts as scoring, anyhow for the rest of the list looks good to me! my orks would have a hard time unless lucky rolls^^
