Total of 8 CP because the Knight Lance doesn't have 3 Questoris/Dominus class Knights, so the SHD gives 0 CP. WL trait for The Tech Priest Dominus is Monitor Malevolus for some kind of CP regeneration since this list is going to be hungry for it. Infiltrating the Dragoons turn 1 with the Kastelans, Dunecrawlers, and Helverins for fire support.

I've been going back and forth between House Raven and Krast and there's definitely merits to both, for this list it's Krast but if I went Raven the only change would be to swap out The Headman's Mark for the Paragon Gauntlet. While the Helverins won't benefit from being Krast at all, it'll help my Warden pose a significant threat in melee even with the -1 to hit penalty from the Thunderstrike Gauntlet due to the hit rerolls. The real reason to take Krast is for the Headman's Mark, which increases the damage of ALL my Warden's weapons by +1 against targets with 10 wounds or more and +2 instead if it's against Titanic units making it very deadly against all targets in shooting as well. Since the Warden's preferred targets are generally all kinds of vehicles, getting shot at by a 3 damage Avenger Gatling Cannon every turn is gonna put the hurt any vehicle, plus the damage bonus + hit rerolls in the fight phase helps make up for the lost damage from not taking the Paragon Gauntlet in CC. Unfortunately, going Krast means losing out on the extra mobility Raven offers as well as access to the Order of Companions stratagem. Taking a Raven Gallant with Landstrider and the Paragon Gauntlet over the Warden is also an option. Any opinions on this or the rest of the list is appreciated!

If you don't have a datasmith in the list, you can't make the Kastelan robots double-shoot.

There is a stratagem that let's him do it 1st turn, so he doesn't need one.

I just bought the Knight codex, and was thinking about combining them with Adeptus Mechanicus. I really like this list - I have no idea how effective it is, but it's a very interesting (and balanced) selection of units and will look great on the table.

Thanks! A good balance is what I was going for and it gives me an excuse to get my Ad Mech off the shelf and give them some new fluffy toys to ally with.
