Trying to find something to compliment my imperial Knights. I've come up with this idea. It adds speed, some additional survivability, and the ability to do things like outflank.

Imperial knight baronial court.

Knight crusader, rapid fire battle cannon, meltagun.
Knight warden, meltagun
Knight errant, meltagun

Dark Angels ravenwing strike force.

HQ - Libby on bike, ML2, auspex, power axe

Elites - Ravenwing command squad, 5x black Knights, 1 upgraded to champ, 1 upgraded to apothecary.

Fast attack - ravenwing black Knights, 5x Knights
Fast attack - attack bike squad, 2x attack bikes, 2x multi Melta.

Basically going for the DA primarus along with prob prescience for one of the Knights.

Do we think it's powerful enough?

I actually play against something very similar to this quite often. One of the players i play against a lot runs 1-2 knights, a Squad of black nights, and depending on what he is taking in his list a Librarius conclave on bikes. More then one invisible knights is miserable to deal with. Not to mention the ravenwing. If you run into ignores cover, or can get into melee with a death star that can kill those bikes then great, if not the invisible shooting knights just pound you into t he ground. Im not the most competitive player, but this is really solid in my experience.

I did strongly consider one less knight for a libraries conclave on bikes......still thinking about it.

I don't have any of my books handy so i don't know exactly the points break down, but you might consider it. But look up how your tournament handles invisibility, or other Psychic powers like it. Some of the new ones in angles of death are crazy to, haven't had to run against them yet, but there are likely some dumb combos for knights in there, just haven't really taken a good look at it yet. The only issues you might run into is capping objectives because of your army size, but it will be hard for your opponent to bring down one invisible knight, let alone 3.
