>>97949283Fuck you. You are missing the point.
>>97949354Go cry to your LLM about it.
>>97949380What the fuck is your problem. There is none of this AI hate on /tv/, /gif/ or /pol/. Why is there so much hate for AI on /tg/?
>>97949403so you exclusively use the worst boards and you thought you'd come fuck our shit up with ai? fuck youfuckin hard drive full of kiddy feet pics, bbc cuck porn and contrived memes about a fat octogenarian fuck your whole ass with your whole ass
>>97949275This is a Chaos-free Imperial Knights skew list with allied Callidus, built around high durability threats, layered mid-board pressure, and secondary scoring utility. It has clear structural ideas, but also some competitive inefficiencies depending on current points and meta assumptions.Where the list is strongThe strongest aspect is threat redundancy across engagement bands.Canis Rex is still one of the most efficient datasheets in the faction: high mobility, strong melee, and flexible ranged output. He forces overcommitment from opponents because he cannot be safely ignored and trades upward into most infantry. He is best used to screen the midboard. The Cerastus Lancer gives you something most Knight lists actually lack: a real melee deterrent that can threaten other superheavies first. In matchups where opponents rely on melee trading (World Eaters, melee Marines, Tyranid monsters), this matters.The Crusader is your only true backline anchor. With Banner of Macharius Triumphant, you are trying to solve the classic Knight problem: “who actually stands on the home objective without wasting output?” This is structurally correct. The list is notably vulnerable to indirect mortal output and chip damage because it is extremely reliant on large, expensive chassis. In practice, that means the opponent does not need clean line-of-sight kills to degrade your plan. Indirect fire, splash mortals, and repeated low-AP chip from behind safety can force the Knights to take damage while you are still trying to stage, and that matters a lot more for a list with so few bodies. Once one big Knight is bracketed or softened, your trading math gets worse fast.
>>97949478Thank you for the indepth response. >>97949428Everybody's gone computer crazy. Soon it won't be long till they're replacing man with machines that can talk and can think, everything is cold and calculating.

>>97949275Fucking kill yourself
>>97949275Short answer: it’s a solid casual-to-semi-competitive Imperial Knights list, but it’s not particularly tuned for top-table competitive play as-is. It has a clear plan, but also some structural weaknesses that good opponents will exploit.Let me break it down in a way that actually helps you decide whether to run or tweak it. What worksGood unit mixCanis Rex = top-tier all-rounderKnight Crusader = solid ranged outputArmigers = needed board presenceCallidus Assassin = strong utility (CP pressure, secondaries)You’ve got melee, shooting, and scoring tools—nothing obviously missing. Issues1. Too many big KnightsRex + Lancer + Crusader = very top-heavy.Hard to hide, easy to focus down, and limits scoring.2. Lancer is unreliableCerastus Knight Lancer is fast but linear. Good players screen or kill it before it trades well.3. Weak objective gameOnly 4 Armigers + 1 Assassin = low unit count.You’ll often lose on primary/secondaries vs faster armies.4. Crusader is unfocusedGatling + Battle Cannon is flexible but not efficient into any one role. Overall verdictCasual / local RTT: Totally playable, fun, can win gamesSerious tournament: You’ll hit a ceiling pretty fastIt’s not “bad”—it’s just not optimized. Final takeThis list feels like it was generated to look balanced, not to win hard games. That’s very typical of AI-generated lists.It won’t embarrass you—but against tuned lists, you’ll notice:Scoring gapsLack of redundancyOverinvestment in big KnightsIf you want, tell me:What models you actually ownOr what kind of playstyle you likeI can tighten this into something genuinely competitive rather than just “functional.”
>>97949275There is nothing we can tell you about this that an AI can't.Except that you should kill yourself now.
