I want to do a Cerastus Knight Acheron from forgeworld...its got a S7 AP3 flamer and a heavy bolter, plus the standard D ccw. But apparently its only available if I:
A) take another normal knight along with it in a Knight Detachment
B) fill a LoW slot with it
So since I'm not a dick and won't take two knights, which Imperial Detachment gives me the option for a LOW without too high of an HQ/Troop tax? Should I just take a CAD? Is that easiest?

I'd go with a guard CAD. Take two minimum squads of veterans, and a command squad (you could take a lord commissar, but he's about as costly as a barebones command squad). The real reason I think IG would be solid though is you can take 0-3 enginseers. Not only are those fluffy as fuck for admech, but they can keep the knight up and running for a little while longer.

Yeah, but man guard aren't fluffy! I'll probably just go with the standard knight (boring!) and keep things simple. OR maybe I'll ally in inquisition afterall...if they have a LoW slot. Anyone know if that's a possibility?

Anyone know if that's a possibility? No LoW in the Inquisitorial detachment. Hopefully the skitarri formation will let you take a LoW. |

Nope, it was leaked last monday: 2 mandatory troops, and up to 6 more troop, 4 fast attack, 4 heavy, and 3 elites. And a fortification, but no LOW. |

Well, I think the best thing to do then is just grab a Knight Errant. The battle cannon puts out the hurt and its pretty versatile. You could still nab an Inquisitor then, and you can even take servitors as his retinue. The xenos inquisitor has excess to some sweet weapons, including a conversion beamer. That coupled with psyker makes him a must take IMO.

LOL at your signature btw with the Khorne Daemonkin, for your sake, we can count that as a win for you and a loss for me. I will shamefully alter my signature, for alas I did not deserve the tie for leaving to play conquest.

Eh its whatever sir, I was still getting used to the army and likely had half the rules wrong, no worries. You know, on the topic of w/d/l why have we never made a league stats board? |

Thank you to Mike for validating my attempt at being clever/humorous and "Liking" my picture of Ted Knight. I was having a real crisis of faith feeling very old knowing everyone was scrolling past him thinking, "Who the fuck is that? I don't get it." It was a painful 18 hours or so. PAINFUL!
That being said: Nick, going with the Knight was a good choice.
