My gut tells me that at 1500, 4 IK Wardens/Paladin/Errants are quicker and easier to maneuver in a 45 min to 1 hour game.

Nobody at my flgs plays hardcore tournament style. The only person still around who does had a 2 Wraithknights supported by Wraith guards and Wraith Lords list. He has yet to let me rematch him.

The only people willing to fight my Ik would only do so after tailoring in so much anti vehicle weapons. They keep telling me to only run 1 ik at 1850 but every one plays mostly 1500pts. I spent so much time and money on my IK i want to atleast play 1 of them. Also conflictingly I play Chaos so my favorite 3 iks (Gallant, Crusader, Warden) are not available as LoW for CSM. On top of that, Come the Apocalypse and one eye open really makes it hard to play. Luckily some people have agreed to let me run my CSM as loyalist. I tried to exploit the Lions Blade and get 10 free razorbacks with annoying heavy bolters and 1 crusader. They despised it. So no cheesy free 10 razorbacks.
