I am thinking of running a list with some knight allies.

Librarian: Bike, Power Field Generator, ML 2
Ravenwing Command Squad: Apothecary, Champion(have him modeled that way already), Ravenwing Grenade Launcher, 5 Bikers total.

10x Tactical Marines: Missile Launcher, Drop Pod

Knight Errant
Knight Paladin

Could i run the lance formation as allies or no?

Consider this if you will; a techmarine on a bike with a servo harness and a power field generator crusing along with your knights.
He came to 100pts last time i looked and passed that invuln (covers all sides!) to anything that intruded on that bubble around him and he is also fast enough to keep up with the knights.

Food for thought hopefully.

Its a good strategy, just make sure the techmarine is at the rear of the formation so that the enemy doesn't benefit from the invuln saves! Makes me wish I could afford some Knights!

That is just evil... I like it.

Where should i trim the 70 points though since he can only be taken if there is another HQ, I could remove the 2 drop pods and just have the tacticals hoof it.

One techmarine is an easy target. If you wanna do this, put him in a bike squad. Then you may as well invest the extra points to make him a ML2 Librarian.

I was already planning on just adding him to the bike squad.

I suppose you could leave him equipped with a servo arm instead of servo harness to drop the points a bit, but the battlesmith roll would be 4+ then.

Question: what is the points difference between a tac squad with a pod, and a squad of scouts with sniper rifles?
