Just got back from a 2500 point tourney with the Knights, and they came off quite well with a 2/1 win, 1/2 loss and a 3/0 win, taking equal second place with the cad imperator AMTL list of doom.
All throughout the day I just could not stop rolling ones and 2's to fail activation (must have been between 1/3 and 1/2 of the time) but still did not come off badly.
List:
Baron + 3 Paladin (450) 6 Paladin (450) 3 Lancer, 3 Paladin (450) Ordinatus Majoris (550) Aspirants (150) Aspirants (150) Trebuchet (150) ThunderBolt Fighters (150) destroyed Game One vs space marines
Marines had 2 warhounds and a scout unit on the right, a large tactical formation protecting the baseline and a warhound on the left, 2 terminators in reserve. I set up the ordinatus ona hill on the right along with the baron, lancers, errant and a unit of aspirants, set up trebuchet on my baseline objective. On the left, the paladin unit set up begind buildings, a unit of aspirants garrisoned a near central objective.
In short, there was a lot of firefighting over the bridge objective on the right, his warhound crossed from the left to shoot at the lancers and errant who fled. On turn two a unit of terminators deep struck behind the baron and the aspirants, but they were killed off in a base to base melee. the Aspirants on the right destroyed the scouts along with some help from the baron, then the baron's formation tried unsuccessfully to break some void shields from the two warhounds. Only on turn three did the thunderbolts ground attack the warhounds to any effect removing all void shields, to let the nova cannon on the ordinatus vaporise the warhounds.
Action on the left was mild, his tactical formation sat on the base objective doing nothing, and my paladin formation decidded to double across to the middel of the table where his single warhound had strode over to break my errants, inflicting one damage from shooting. The central unit of Aspirants charged in to finish off the warhound in base to base melee. His second unit of terminators teleported in to the central objective on turn two, but they were destroyed by combined close quarters fighting from the aspirants and the paladins (tough buggers they are, I think they went 3 rounds of combat)
Game 2 vs AMTL- this is a bit of a blur. Opponents first activation sending his reaver in to suck my ordinatus into the void with a warp misile was a bit of a tell, the rest of the game his Imperator stomped around and destroyed my army. Destroyed.
Game 3 Vs eldar- TBC...
