Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Adeptus Mechanicus (section)

===Lords of War===

See [[Warhammer_40,000/Tactics/Imperial_Knights_(9E)|here]] for an in-depth discussion of Knights on their own; what matters to you is that Cawl, Domini, Manipuli, and Enginseers can fix {{W40Kkeyword|Questor Mechanicus}} Knights, and any of the three or a Datasmith can propagate the Knight of the Cog stratagem onto them (they also have access to a new stratagem from our Codex, Rotate Ion Shields, but they can do that without any assistance from us at all).  If you want to maximize the impact of this:

*Datasmiths are the cheapest of the four options to propagate the Stratagem, but Enginseers are the cheapest that can both propagate and repair.  In either case, none of your relics are directly relevant, and neither are your dogmas, but Monitor Malevolus will somewhat reduce the cost of maintaining Knight of the Cog, Chorister Technis will exponentially improve your ability to guarantee the Canticle you want (especially easy, as always, with Cawl on hand), and Necromechanic will greatly improve how reliably and quickly you can repair the Knight, which is one of the big reasons to bother with this combo in the first place.
*The best Knight to take is the Crusader, since that's the only one not forced to take a melee weapon on one of its arms.
**By default the Crusader is the best take because of how much firepower and anti-horde it wields. The only reason not to bring it is because the enemy is fielding some really, '''''really''''' tanky units that want to go toe-to-toe in CC, at which point you either want to bring the Atrapos for titan-killing or some Armigers to wear your enemy's heavies down before your valuable stuff finishes them off.
