This list probably pays about how you'd expect. The Inquisitor starts on the board alongside (or behind) the Seneschal, who hangs at the back to reduce shots that can get around his Ion Shield. The Inquisitor will roll Divination to and buff the long-range Paladin shooting. The Errants starts further up, spending the first few turns getting into melee/melta range.

The Stormraven and Stormtalons arrive and target opposing flyers and then any other priority troops that the Knights are having difficulty with. MOTF repairs the Stormraven if it starts to take damage.

Points are pretty tight, but I am considering dropping the Inquisitor for a Whirlwind. I do think the servo skulls will help the Knights avoid early threats, but I'm not sure if that protection/divination powers are worth the points.

Well, I think you need more bodies like two full Tacticals.

I could add another min-sized tac squad by changing the paladin to an errant and dropping the inquisitor.

However, I just don't think it would be all that worth it in this list, to be honest. Right now, I think a core benefit of this list is that all of the scoring units (Knighte and the tac squad while in the Raven) are largely immune to small arms fire. I do have a low number of scoring units, but they are all very very tough. One more min-sized tactical squad would be the focus of all the ant-infantry firepower in the opposing army. I don't think it would do anything at all and would basically just be 70 points that disappear into thin air

Adding anything more than one tac squad would fundamentally change the list, breaking the formation or necessitating dropping a Knight and thus taking them as allies rather than a scoring primary detachment with 3++ Seneschal. I just don't see adding one or more troop choice to be worth breaking the Storm Wing squadron or the knights Primary, especially because losing the Knight primary means no more scoring Knights.
