This army combines the use of the imperial knight crusader and the grand master nemesis dreadknight to create very tough threats that the opponent has to deal with. The GMNDK will typically be rocking a 2++ and the crusader has a 2+3++ save. Both have good shooting and neither are slouches in CC.

Krast is chosen for rerolls to hit in cc and access to headsmen mark + controlled aggression. those two combined make a crusader very scary in cc to another Titanic model, even more if they bear chaos.

Supporting them are 2 warglaives and a nice bit of guardsmen firepower from the back/midfield.

Done a couple trial games with this list and it feels pretty brutal.

It looks like a cool list, do you think the Tank Commanders are worth it? I'd be a bit worried about them being shot off the board since they don't have any invulns like the main heavy hitters.

I guess you just Gate the GMNDK in and hope to succeed on the charge? You have a lot of shooting that can kill screening units, but I'd still be worried about the GMNDK getting bogged down. He can't back out of combat and shoot/charge like the Knight can. I think you might want to swap the powers on the GK units depending on matchup, that way the GMNDK can Gate himself out if he gets bogged down in a horde and needs to shoot. Also, you will have to be careful that the Strike Squad lives long enough to Gate the GMNDK, might be better to go for some more GK characters in a Supreme Command detachment instead to be extra safe from shooting.

The Crusader with Headsman's Mark is strong, but there are some titanic units (like a House Raven Knight Castellan) who will still out shoot it pretty bad. If the Crusader is using it's guns to shoot it out with another Knight, it can't clear screens/hordes for the GMNDK, and then I think you run into problems.
