Hello everyone, I am currently in the process of putting together my planned 2000pt. Militarium Tempestus army list and I want to run at least one Imperial Knight for my Elysian Drop Troops. However I will be utilizing the following Conversion as I feel it looks more like it could be "Dropped" into a Warzone unlike the Knight itself: http://www.spikeybitsblog.com/2012/06/how-to-stormtalon-assault-walker.html. That being said I am curios what you guys think. Is one Imperial Knight enough or is it better to take 2 from a tactical standpoint? Thanks for the feedback!

I personally think that 2 knights are the best, but it really depends.

With taurox spam you'd want 2 knights so the enemy has to shift fire between them and your transports before you butcher his scoring troops.

But with valkyrie/drop list you'd probably want to save up as much points as you can for the airborne formation from the codex because of all those free benefits it gives you, so I guess one knight would be somewhat better if your paratroopers would be otherwise lacking with 2 as it'd give you only 1260 points to play with and valkyries got more expensive now.

Well, two Knights eventually equipped differently would be better than one since its a force multiplier.

It takes 4x the effort to kill 2 Knights as it does to kill 1, per the Square Rule of Combat.

This applies to most uber units .
2 DKs are better than one
2 Riptides are better than one
2 Stormraven are better than one
2 WKs are better than one

However, points restrictions come into play. At lower point levels one of these units is perfectly acceptable

Redundancy is almost always good.

Hence why one heavy vehicle usually just shows up and dies but three can throw your opponent for a loop.

That being said, Knights are quite individually powerful and costly so it's an investment you need to carefully consider.

Personally based on cost of the Knight I'd take one as an angry distraction and load up IG artillery to remove problems
