Okay, a few things, I love the fluff behind the Legion of Ryza, and their "Shackled Knights " House Sidus. Which was made by Ryza in secret.... (and happens to be one of the few Mechanicus worlds who doesn't use red in everything.)

And I know I can handle a Black and White color scheme for the titans, and a black and orange scheme for the Knights.

So I wanted to add some Knights to the list, because I plan on tying my armies together across the Horus Heresy setting:

Adeptus Titanicus, Legions Imperialis (once i get the rulebook for Christmas), Age of Darkness, and eventually 40k.

So feel free to destroy everything, as I wanted to put a list together before I bought a single model.

It's all right. The loadouts are balanced enough to offer you tools at all times and as Crucius that one double Volcano engine shouldn't be all that suicidal either.

The Warbringers might feel a bit odd at first when you're learning the game, with their somewhat clunkily synergising range-bands between their guns, but you won't be throwing the game by fielding this list.

I concur with the Right-Honourable Sherrypie; the list is respectable.

But there's room for improvement?

Depends if your enemy has numerical superiority. For some games you might want to swap out a Warbringer for a pair of hounds and run an Arcus maniple. But that's situational, and if you have the AT starter set then you'll have the hounds anyway.

Just curious if you already have these models?

Nope. Don't have a single one.

To keep myself from overspending, I decided to make the list, before I bought any models.

I have the rulebooks though [except for those traitors].

In that case go straight for the AT starter set and a Warbringer.

This will give you a solid 5 titans, and a banner of the best Knights in the game. Your Reavers and Warbringer will share weapons and weapon cards, so you'll save a lot money in that regard.

One final Reaver and you'll be at 2000 points...

Very cool. This is what I needed... direction.

What maniple do you recommend?

I'm going go stick with the Warmongers (Legio Crucius) because I like their color scheme and Knights).

Well, you could start off with either the Venator or Arcus maniples. The first allows a Reaver to attack should it's hounds drop the shields of an opposing titan, while the second allows hounds to "spot" for their Warbringer. That would be a start, I guess.

If you have a Ferrox maniple, then your Reavers and Hounds become more dangerous as they close in on enemy units, and they'll still be backed up by the long-ranged Warbringer who will be your artilary.
