House Raven
Castellan (cawls wrath, ion bulwark)
Warden (landstrider)
Warden (endless fury)

2 x guard battalions
3 company commnaders
Primaris psykers
12 infantry squads

Hopefully the enemy will struggle with either the infantry or the knights. I feel the warden are a bit meh, but probably useful as a distraction. Fliers / eldar would be trouble for me I think.

Endless Fury is meh, not worth the CP cost imho. I assume you have the usual grand strategist/kurov's aquila combo, IKs need a lot of CPs.

I feel fliers are hardly an issue, che Castellan easily kills a couple of them each turn.

I guess the main ones of concern are crimson hunters and hemlocks, both usually rocking a -2 or -3 to hit per turn

Wish knight lances could come in twos tbh

Endless fury gives you on average 11.67 hits compared to the normal gatling cannon's 8 hits. It's worth the CP.

The fact that you can take 3 Knights AND 2 whole battalions makes me a bit queezy. but it is what it is.

Having said that, it would be a fun list to play against since you have 2 extremes of target types. So even if an opponent struggles with one, they will likely have ideal answers to the other, so they can stay engaged in the game.

As an Eldar player who takes Hemlocks and a Crimson Hunter, I can tell you that only the CH will have -2 to be hit, as the Hemlock need to be within 18" to cast their powers and 16" to use their weapons. It should be easy to get within 12" of them to negate the Alaitoc -1 to hit.
What you really have to worry about is Jinx, which makes you roll -1 to saving throws (including invuls), but you have Primaris Psykers to help deny.
Keep those near the Knights and have some CPs ready to reroll.

Yeah totally agree - plus on a lucky roll you can have some insane results. The other day I hit 17 times with the weapon. IMO it's probably the best relic outside of Cawls Wrath.

I agree the warden is meh.
Castellan is the best (OP as FETH actaully)
Crusder is next best
Gallant next best

No reason to take any other knight.
Armigers are both pretty good - I'd really prefer 2 helvrines over a warden. Then with the points saved take upgrades for your IG.

Yeah, that means paying 2 CPs for 3.67 more hits. Those 2 CPs can make you reroll ALL 1s on the Castellan for another turn. I stand by my statement, Endless Fury is not worth 2 CPs. One, possibly, but not two.

(and yes, the cost is 2 CPs because the warlord is undoubtedly a company commander with grand strategist, so you are paying 3 CPs for 2 extra IK relics, one of which needs to be Cawl's wrath because it's just stupidly good)

How many guardsmen is this?

120 troops, 4 hq (including Psycher
