Unfortunately that knight detachment doesn't generate any command points. You need 3 Dominius and or Questoris knights in a Super Heavy detachment of knights (knight lance rule) in order to get command benefits from it.

I made some updates:

You might want to give that gallant the relic raven banner, to get more beating.

I'd drop the tech preist dom to an engineseer - too expensive to be buffing just 2 dune crawlers. They points would be better spent on carapace upgrades.

Otherwise I think it's great and will be very good on the table.

No Arqs for the vanguard?

Few things I wanted to touch upon with this list:

I think bringing a second smaller army with Knights works well not just for CP farming. Ad Mech has really good midrange options and I think bringing a battalion that has some of their better options works. I’ve been back and forth on two Enginseer or Dominus and 1 Enginseer for a bit, but I think dropping the dominus and getting three Arqs in there over it should work.

With the FAQ to the Knight Lance rule giving +6 CP instead of +3 is big because it lets us take more traits and heirlooms. I think spending the 6 on traits and heirlooms (could be 5 with cunning commander) and leaving the rest could work. This lets me take paragon on the Galant with Knight Seneschal Endless Fury on the Crusader with Cunning Commander, and something else on the Valiant (maybe Armour of Sainted Ion with Ion Bulkwark).
