Knight Magaera with Skitarii?

[Kilofix]

I'd like to take a Knight Magaera with the new Skitarii but am figuring out how to do so.

 

Ok, as I understand it:

 

+ You can take a single Knight Magaera as a LoW;

+ But The Skitarii Detachment doesn't have an LoW slot;

+ And, Skitarii can't form a CAD;

+ Which leaves taking the Magaera as a separate Knight Detachment;

+ Which requires taking a second Knight as the Magaera can't outnumber other Knights;

 

+ Unless, I add the Magaera as the single LoW in an Allied Detachment like MTs with maybe a cheap Commisar and a 5-man Scion squad (that I can mock up as a Magos and Thralls).

 

Does that sound right and are there alternatives around the current rules?

 

Also, the Knight Styrix can't be taken in 40K right?

Don't take a Magaera, it's terribad. Take a Paladin, instead.

But FLUFF!

 

In any case, I may have to run a Paladin anyway in order to run the Magaera.

There is no fluff worth over-spending points on a substandard unit. The Pally does more for less. Yes, it lack the bells and whistles the Magaera seems to possess, but you pay 20-45 points more for crappy base weapons, 6+ IWND, an odd flamer, and a claw that wrecks buildings. Not worth it, at all.
