The idea is to have a blob of Guilliman, Cawl and Chapter Ancient overseen by the Crusader who's supported by the Enginseer. The Plasma Vanguards taking the front for character screen and preventing tarpits, with the other Vanguards at the rear flanks to cover from deep-strikers. Moving this across the board as quickly as possible to get the Ancient into a place to support the deep-striking Captain and Vanguard Veteran Squads to make full use of the Victrix Guard detachment and Thunder Hammer anything off the board. Guilliman means Skitarii can advance quicker and don't need data-tethers for morale, Cawl gives Skitarii re-rolls to all hits and can repair Guilliman (as if he wasn't hard enough to kill), Chapter Ancient will increase morale to help keep the Plasma screen (as it's for friendly units) and Enginseer will repair the Crusader.

Most probably not that great against hordes but should be rather good against anything else???

Maybe theres something im unaware of with LoW, but unless im missing something you have too many detachments for matched play. Max at 2000 points would be 3.

As you point out hordes would be near impossible to beat, but otherwise you should do well.

you cannot take guilliman in the same detatchment as knights

cawl is too expensive a model with so little admech to buff

the only way those vanguard 10 mans are getting to there destination is if you go lucius and deepstrike them

Gman and knight can work really well. You gotta go all in on the knights though. Take Admech min battalion - Gman in super heavy aux - then take 3 knights. I take them as tyranis for knight resurrection but you can also go as raven and you can advance with your knights and shoot. He gives all your knights rr1's which is a pretty massive buff for castellans and crusaders. You also start with a hefty 17 CP if you make Gman your warlord. 5+6+3+3 - with reroll on 5's for your stratagems. I've won 2 local tourneys with 30ish players in each. I use loyal 32 though.
