Hey I have just started an adeptus mechanicus army and would like to add an imperial knight to it. However the knight household I want tot paint it like ( house Griffith ) is not directly aligned to the mechanicum. I have read some fluff about scitarii like soldiers being used for infantry for the knights and have also thought of using custodian guard and sisters of silence as 'nobles' . What do you guys think of this and do you have any other suggestions.
Thanks

I would imagine you could use Scions as your infantry type. They have the look to go along with a knight household.

I think it doesn't matter really. the mechanicus will go with any knight household to provide support.
also, imperial guard are often found accompanying knights.

There's a Skitarii/Secutarii group called peltasts and hoplites that ForgeWorld makes and that's their exact lore: they're the titan guard. They look fun, though I never played them.

I would suggest using FW 30k imperial guard along with some skitari parts to make the IK house infantry support; the 30k IG looks a bit bulky and steam punk that fits the look.

I would probably use conscripts and roughriders built from Empire bits led by 40k-style commissars and company commanders dressed in regal gear with your Knight. Makes a great juxtaposition where the leaders are all high-tech noble-governors while the common rabble are middle-age peasants (using conscript rules to represent them being less well trained than professional soldiers).
