Had anopther games with my knights today. Wanted to try the same list as last time to see if it was a good meet all comers list. I had:

Errants+Errant+Baron 590 (BTS)
Paladins+Paladin+Senechal 415
Paladins+Paladin+Senechal 415
Lancers+Lancer+Senechal 415
Castellans+Senechal 375
Howitzers 175
Howitzers 175
Rough ridera+Rough rider 125
Thunderbolts 150
Thunderbolts 150

2985 p, 10 activations

My opponent came with a, to me anyways, scary list:

Incompertus, 3000 POINTS
Codex Astartes (NetEA Tournament Pack 2013)
==================================================

SCOUT [175]
4 Scouts, Razorback, Rhinos

TACTICAL [325]
6 Tacticals, Chaplain

TACTICAL [325]
6 Tacticals, Chaplain

TERMINATOR [400]
4 Terminators, Chaplain

TERMINATOR [400]
4 Terminators, Chaplain

THUNDERHAWK [200]

THUNDERHAWK [200]

WARHOUND [275]
1 Warhound Class Titan

WARHOUND [275]
1 Warhound Class Titan

DEVASTATOR [425]
4 Devastators, Supreme Commander, Rhinos, Hunter

It was clear i was not the only one planning on massive assaults this time and I was really nervous how to deal with this list...

Setup:

No garrisons. My oppoonent choose corners deployment. I set up both my howitzers screened by the rough riders as the blitzguard.

The rest of the formations where set upp all along the long edge of the table screened by my Lancers. I made sure no unit was intermingled but also made sure taht any unit being air assaulted would get supporting fire from another.

My opponent set up his Devastators (BTS) by his blitz, his scouts was placed halfway down the short table edge on the road.

Both his warhounds where ålaced at the middle of the long table edge which made me guess that they where going for the blitz later.

Well, that went better than i thought it would. First i thought I was going to be assaulted to death right away but it wasn't that bad.

Lancers feel really good with Scout. They protected units the 3 first turns from teleporting assaults. Errants felt strong up close but quite useless at a longer range.

Castellans didn't do much this game.

I've said it before but i really, really enjoy playing the knights list! It's an aggresive list but broad enough to be able to utilise different tactics.

Fritique and comments are always welcome!! Tactical advice are needed!
