Have been putting a couple of lists together for a FLGS tournament next weekend, have been tinkering around with the models I have available and have come up with 2 lists to try.

Ignore the Unbound bit of the lists, this was just to make it easier on Battlescribe.

++ Unbound Army (Faction) (Imperium - Astra Militarum) [19 PL, 281pts] ++

+ No Force Org Slot +

Regimental Doctrine: Astra Millitarum

+ HQ +

Company Commander [2 PL, 30pts]: Chainsword, Laspistol

+ Heavy Support +

Heavy Weapons Squad [3 PL, 33pts]

++ Unbound Army (Faction) (Imperium - Imperial Knights) [67 PL, 1219pts] ++


Household Choice: House Hawkshroud, Questor Imperialis

+ Lord of War +

Knight Crusader [25 PL, 457pts]: Heavy stubber, Heirloom: Endless Fury, Thermal cannon
. Avenger Gatling Cannon w/ Heavy Flamer: Avenger gatling cannon, Heavy flamer

Knight Gallant [20 PL, 354pts]: Heavy stubber, Heirloom: Sanctuary, Reaper chainsword, Thunderstrike gauntlet, Warlord Trait: Landstrider


++ Total: [86 PL, 1500pts] ++

This one is small on numbers but 3 Knights is a challenge at 1500pts. Gallant has Landstrider and Sanctuary to survive CC for longer (I debated taking Armour of Sainted Ion, would this perhaps be better?) 14CP means I can easily use Full Tilt, perhaps Death Grip if I need to, and of course Noble Sacrifice.

++ Total: [79 PL, 1464pts] ++


So with this one instead of the 3 Knights I have Pask and 2x Russes, as well as 3x Jetbike Captains. The Captains are great, but I think the list would struggle if I came up against anything similar or another Knight. Fewer CP than the Knight list with only 9 but I think there wouldn't be as many CP-needing moments.




I'm leaning towards the Knight list but would appreciate some feedback on how I can improve it. Some things can't be changed due to the models (the Errant for example I got second hand and is stuck with the Melta, other Knights are magentised).

Many thanks.

Knights all the way imo.
3LRs and 3SCs are tough in their own right but at 1500 3 knights are even tougher imo,

That's what I'm thinking as well. What do you think about the actual Knight loadouts however?

I'm also stuck on Warlord Traits for the Gallant. Landstrider is nice with an extra 4" to my overall movement each turn, but Fearsome Reputation also looks decent, if he's getting up close and stomping on stuff some extra Leadership penalties may prove beneficial.

Im not a huge fan of the thermal cannons personnally (ymmv)
I prefer the potential of more shots with the RFBC and the ability (if needed) to outrange a lot of things.

Defo stick with Hawkshroud - such a life saver.

A Battle Cannon would be good but the only way I can think of freeing up the points for it would be to drop either the Mortars or an Infantry Squad, part of me thinks 3x Squads isn't enough.
