Start with 14 CPs, using 3 of them before the game on the Exalted Court Stratagem start to give the two Wardens the Warlord Trait that gives them a 4+ invulnerable save. Hawkshroud for survivability, as I'd rather the opponent shoot the Knight than the guard.

The Astra Militarum detachment is all indirect fire, so they can all deploy behind cover on objectives, mortars focusing on infantry and the Basilisks on vehicles/Knights.

The assassins all arrive from deepstrike, either to sit on and claim empty objectives, or into the opponents deployment zone to clear away chaff objective holders.

------

After testing this last night against Andy's Knights, I'm pretty happy with this list. The Basilisks underperformed, but that was more down to the dice rolling and the lack of decent cover to hide them behind. The Guardsmen and Mortars chipped away at the Helverin while holding objectives. The Knights were awesome, and although they were all dead by the end they did their job. The assassins didn't have any units they could easily fight, so I dropped the Culexus and Callidus on empty objectives, while the Eversor went after a Helverin and ended up killing after a couple of rounds of combat.

I spent the extra 9 points I had left over giving my secondary commander a Power fist and Boltgun. This way he can act as a cheap deepstrike counter, while he won't kill anything big and scary, he could damage and hold up weaker units.
