I know it's probably not a feasible army, but can you construct an 1850 list with only the Knights? I assume it would just be 1 or 2 models stomping around the board. I know it's not really smart as you won't be able to cap objectives and whatnot, but it would be fun to just set two big *** models on the table when everyone is setting up troops and vehicles and whatnot.

Not only can you, but it is feasible. A 5 knight army using stock (no upgrades) can come in just under - and it is universally detested in tournament land due to power - although has hard counters - it is upper mid tier maybe. In my meta.

This configuration can be yours for the low low price of around $700! Lol Jokes aside, that is a little pricey, could I get away with 3 for a little bit? And is that price on par with another fully completed army? I don't exactly know army prices anymore for completed lists, I looked at model prices, just don't have the knowledge to know totals :)

You can get away with 3 - but if you're talking non-forgeworld variants, I think 4 will fit better in 1850 - you may need allies otherwise.

I don't know about your prices either - I just sold 2 errants on ebay for around £60 each. Even if I added £10 for postage, that's £350 for 5 - significantly less that $700 US (unless you are in Aus/Can then I don't know).

An all Knight force is not as fearsome as you might think. D-Weapons could make life miserable and things like Wraithknights with a jump pack and D sword will tie you up as well. Any IG super heavies are likely to sport weapons that cause grief and 3 to 5 units is not a lot when it is just one figure. I tied a knight up with a warlock unit on bikes for 4 turns once using singing spears. Love those invulnerable saves.

I think you are better off with two and support units.
