So I caved and bought the Imperial Knight Renegade box set. I have a few leftover parts from my last Imperial Knight so the plan was to make two Gallants (the melee variant) to complement the theme of my Angry Templar Bros. Let me know what you think, I think it sounds good on paper...

The theme is to have Sigismund charge up and whack people, and have the Gallants (which are basically robot versions of Sigismund) charge up and whack other robots/tanks/GMCs. I know the Imperial Fists are all about fortifying and defending, but I've always had a deep desire to be a Black Templars player, and I'm glad 30k is giving me a chance to do it with buffed up rules.

They aren't all about turtling up and defending. Every legion was a swiss army knife and had elements capable of any job. The Night Lords had a heavy armor battalion complete with multiple super heavies. If they had that, I think its more than ok for IF to have an assault company.

That said, anything with a template ro decent volkite is going to annihilate your tacs first off just to get them out of the way, a fairly common Scorpius is great for that as well. If you only have ten, throw them in a rhino. They would be my first target followed by the vindicator while I sandbag or ignore the rest of your tiny force and go for objectives. I know why you have what you have, I still cant get over how small a force it is.

What kind of list do you run at 1850 or 2000 points? And I forgot about the Rhinos but they were already included in the points, thanks for catching that. Yeah I might just keep the Knight Gallants for 2500+ games and just do all Imperial Fists for this point level, I'm not sure yet.

Yeah you want more boots on the ground. Maybe some sniper vets and a Deredeo.

My main list is either a Night lord drop list or a terror assault list. I run support squads min number to have more on the field, or vet squads in the terror list. I also use a lightning and a fire raptor.
