I'm new to knights and I'm helping my friend make a list. So this is what I kinda peiced together.
Basically I'm going to make a big shield by using the stratagem to consolidate the infantry squads and give them a 5+invulnerable and better leadership with the inquisitor and a 6+ incase the psychic power doesn't go of with the celestine. After that use the astropaths to give the infantry a +1 to save and a -1 to hit aswell as the take cover stratagemfor another +1.
But what are your thoughts should I just scrap the whole Thing and do ad mech or something else? Also I'm still unsure on warlord traits and relics still.

I only have a codex for one faction, which is Imperial Knights. I don't really know anything about the other factions, so I will give my opinion about the Knights. If the Knights are the main part of your army, I would recommend something other than all Knight Crusaders for two reasons: 1. it' kind of boring, and 2. you should get a knight with a chainsword or thunderstrike gauntlet. A Knight Warden has a great rate of fire, Preceptor has a plasma weapon, an Errant's primary weapon has great strength and armor penetration, and Paladin is a good in-between. I hope this helps.

PS BattleScribe is great

i like the list, triple taranis crusader is great, minimum guard batt with astropaths is great, order of the valorous heart is great. inquisitor is potentially a strong choice. i like celestine, but i'm not sure she 100% works in the list or not. as valorous heart it could be cool to get an imagifier in order to stack ignoring ap up to minus 2. either way, you've got a good list for a triple knight list there, you dont have to change anything if you dont want to.

I personally would drop the Guard and Sisters. If my maths adds up, dropping them and downgrading one Crusader to an Errant should net you some points for either 2x Knights or 1x Knight and 2x Armigers.

Armigers are still technically knights
