I thought they fit each other pretty well thematically, both units making use of lances. Well, the Knight Lancer is armed with a gigantic shock lance and the Secutarii Hoplites have arc lances. They both have shields too! I can picture the Secutarii Hoplites running at the feet of the Knight Lancer and escorting him, jabbing at smaller infantry with their arc lances while the Knight Lancer smashes monsters, tanks and vehicles apart. Pretty cool image, huh? Of course they're going to suck on the tabletop, but I don't care. I'm still going to field them.
I've to say, I hate resin. Resin is so hard to work with. Even though I've thoroughly washed the resin parts, the super glue still won't stick them together. They're so hard to assemble, and they fall apart so easily, even after the super glue has dried (or maybe because the super glue has dried, ugh!). Oh well. I'm afraid of ferrying my Knight Lancer around because I know he'll definitely fall apart, but I do want to field him alongside my Secutarii Hoplites and other Skitarii. This is the Adeptus Mechanicus and Mechanicus Knights I want to field!
This also fits with the fluff of my Knights and Skitarii. They are mostly Titan Guard. I think I'll come up with House Kanda, with is basically a branch clan of House Yato, but entirely seconded to Legio Draconis. The Dark Dragons, yeah. Cool Titan Legion. Anyway, my next project is probably Adeptus Titanicus, especially with Doom of Molech coming out soon, and I think I'll get a Warlord Titan with plasma annihilators, Cerastus Knight Lancers and Questoris Knight banner. Hopefully with 2 Reaver Titans with melta cannon and volcano cannon. I really hope they give us a maniple that allows us to field 1 Warlord Titan and 2 Reaver Titans. The Myrmidon Maniple is just too expensive for me to field any Knights, ugh. I want to field my Knights alongside my Titans!
So yeah, my Imperial Knights are somewhat Titan Guards or Titan Escorts, and they are further reinforced by hordes of Secutarii and Skitarii! Makes for a great, thematic, fluffy army!
On another note, I also managed to get a close combat arm for my 2nd Hellforged Contemptor Dreadnought for my Thousand Sons. So now I have 3 Contemptor Dreadnoughts - one Osiron Contemptor Dreadnought with butcher cannon and chainblade (or chainclaw), one Hellforged Contemptor Dreadnought with two butcher cannons, and one Hellforged Contemptor Dreadnought with 2 close combat contemptor fists. I'm thinking of spending 2 Command Points to change both his combi-bolters into inferno combi-bolters - that would be 8 shots, AP -2, no matter the range because he's a Dreadnought/vehicle and thus benefits from the bolter discipline beta rule. Gives him something to shoot even if he doesn't get into combat!
Will I get any new Chaos stuff? Probably not. I'm tempted to get a few Daemon Engines and a Lord Discordant, but I think I won't. We'll see. I probably can't afford it anyway. I'll leave everything to the Emperor and focus on Adeptus Titanicus next!
