Hi Folks - I've been painting for a long time but playing my first game.

I've going up against my friends 1k knight army. Is there anything you'd suggest I take? My guys aren't painted as a specific chapter so can be flexible in that regard as well, I've brought a lot of the hero's to paint for fun

Thanks in advance for your help!

What units do you have available?

The shadowspear set, dark imperium set, (so all phobos and 8th edition box set), 3 invictus, 9 elimins, 6 aggressors, 20 infiltrators, 20 incursors, relic leviathian, contemptor dread with twin las, redemptor dread, repulsor, Primaris Rhino, Primaris chaplin, apoth, ancient, librarian, 20 hell blasters and 20 intercessors

Character wise, Guilliman, Calgar, Ferrios and the new imperial fist guy with the melta gun,

My next question would be how friendly is the game? You can certainly tailor your list to fight Knights, but some people frown on that kind of thing if it's not discussed with your opponent ahead of time.

If you don't want to make a TAC list, I'd just load up on anything with anti-tank properties.

He's played for years whereas I am fairly new so I'd say some help is fair

Just not sure what the best overall group is. Knights seem pretty tough

I remember back in 7th ed where destroyer weapons would just delete a knight at full wounds.

Now it is just mortal wounds.

Can a group of hellblasters delete a knight in 1 turn?

Raven guard will hurt Knights, since most Knights have to be Characters for relics and traits.

You have a few things that are good in any army/situation: Invictus Warsuits, Leviathan, Contemptor. Use some combination of those and some characters (Captain, Lieutenant, Librarian). Add troops or eliminators to hold objectives.

You should be able to put together a list from that group that would do fine against any opponent.
