At the moment when I field an AMTL army from the version 2 list there are only Titans & Knights on the battlefield.

I agree that the lists should be separated and would still be able to field 2,700 points of Knights (All orignal metal figures).

BUT, has anyone yet had any serious thoughts on how the Knight list should look - If anyone has then I may have the chance to test it against a Nid Army in a few weeks.

I am currently looking at how the Knight list will look, and would appreciate any thoughts on list structure you might have.

Havn't spent ages on this yet but have thought along the lines of, keeping it simple to start with.

Obvisouly fluff is required, but if enough people agree with the basics then I'll put together a PDF.

Strategy 3, Initiative 2+ (Titans 1+)

Core Formations
Paladin        250 points (for 3)
Lancer         250 points (for 3)
Errant          250 points (for 3)
Baron          100 points (for 1)

1 Paladin formation allows 2 Support formations
1 Lancer/Errant formation allows 1 Support formations
A Baron must be purchased and added to a core formation (same stats as V2 but add Supreme Commander).

Support Formations
Crusader     500 points (for 3)
Castellan     500 points (for 3)
Warden       200 points (for 3)
Robots         300 points (for 8)

Upgrades
+3 Paladins                200 points
+3 Lancer                   200 points
+3 Errant                    200 points
Seneschal Upgrade      50 points



Titans & Aircraft
1/3 of the Army are Titans from the latest Titan List or Aircraft (Thunderbolts) or Spacecraft.

At the moment I am not thinking about adding any infantry or Vehicles as I think this Army should be unique from the other 2 AMTL lists in development.

Robots


Definitely no Robots.

They no longer fit the 40k background.

At the moment I am not thinking about adding any infantry or Vehicles as I think this Army should be unique from the other 2 AMTL lists in development.

My personal view of the army is to follow the Feudal imagery, and that means:

- Knights as the heroic leaders of the army.
- Lots of low quality 'peasants' to follow them (Using 'siege infantry' stats)
- Probably Rough Riders available too.


I intend to put out a list for evaluation in the next few days.

I'll wait for your post and comment later.

Hopefully it will not be a variant on the IG with Knights tagged on.

I usually fight with the Black Legion and now that's is also going through a re-write, to the relief of my fellow EPIC players.

The AMTL were my second Army and it always caused problems/confusion when it only consisted of War Engines (Titans & Knights) - Would still like to field a WE only/heavy army if possible.
