Points = 2000
Cp = 9

Continuation of my quest to find a good list without turning the guard into window dressing for cp, Tried to refocus the guard on anti-infantry with just a buckload of dice being thrown down the 30 inch range, the heavy bolters can reach a bit further and added some los immune mortars to try and bump off diminished units hiding in awkward spots, Put bulwark on the Errant rather than the Castellan as it is the one that should be within the enemies effective counter range to make the most of his cannon, The Castellan can hopefully make do kiting outside with superior range, The Warden is just loaded for bear so she can provide assistance to either knight and make use of that arm wrestling stratagem to deal with annoying invulnerable save characters like the Custodes and Shadowfield users.

Blessed by the Sacristan is a waste of CPs, 1-2 MWs per turn is not enough to justify the cost. Especially with IKs being so CP-intensive (house Raven especially, every turn you will use their stratagem on the Castellan)

Ion Bulwark should go to your heaviest piece, the Castellan. Especially because it should move forward as well (all knights should, free fall back + titanic feet make assaulting a no-brainer vs any list without dedicated CC units, and you are also wasting 4 meltaguns if you stay in the backfield).

So move Bulwark trait to the Castellan, Take Blessed off Warden and put maybe Landstrider on the Errant?

Yeah, that looks better. Although, if you can choose extra WL traits and/or relics before the battle instead of selecting them in advance (it depends on your format), I would consider saving the extra 2 CPs you would use for Landstrider against a few opponents. IKs are really CP-intensive.
