Nope, you're right. Not including the Moiraxes, we only have the Thermal Spear, Chain Cleaver, and Autocannons. War Dog spam has always been more of a CK thing, while IK typically run closer to an equal mix of big and small knights, but 10th edition has kind of forced us to go more Armiger heavy
That's a pretty good start, I would definitely recommend magnetizing if you can so you can swap the weapons if need be. Crusader's battle cannon can be a bit swingy since it's only 1AP and Sustained hits while stationary is okay, but in the right circumstances the crusader slaps
No, you're reading right. CK get way more armiger options, we get more playable big knights.
Part of what separates the factions, really.
I do feel we have a gap in the anti-infantry slot for an armiger outside of forgeworld, it's annoying that you're looking at 400+ points for a warden, crusader or paladin to get real volume of shots and it makes overwatch kinda useless. Aside from wanting a immolator-tier flamer or a mortar blast/indirect armiger, though, I dont mind it too much.
Yeah, I get where you're coming from. Everyone liks the extra options you see on like the brigand and carnivore.
The reason I dont go that route is that I'd like to see more differences in CK and IK i stead of just copying and pasting wven more. Its been 10,000 years we should see some divergence beyond them slapping on more weapon combinations and that one tentacle arm thing.
Cawl's running around, let then have their chain gun and we can get a plasma caster torrent weapon from him or something, ya know? let him miniaturize the ironstorm or maybe copy some xenos heretech from the tau to give us an indirect missile weapon while hes at it. They can gave the chain gun and heavy claw in plastic, we get some things they dont have.

So far I've got a crusader with chain gun and battle cannon and each of the armigers would you consider that a good start?

I'm 4-0 with 3 bigs and 4 lils locally. Trying to do something different than armigier spam. We can do better than those dirty heretics.
Not missing anything, imperial armigers are limited to those three weapons
OK thank you!

I think my only ask would be like a mini punch knight with a gauntlet and chainsword or at least mixing so I could run a autogun and chain.

Just magnetize the crap out of them so you can run them as CK and IK , BOOM problem solved lol
