I'm trying to make a shooty 2K list that can deal with Knight Titans at range. Any suggestions are welcome!

They join the Long Fangs for extra bodies

I thought Allies were 1 HQ, 1 Troop, 1 'Other'?

I'm really not up on the Ally rules though!

You can take vehicle squadrons in IG.

For Codices following the standard FOC (i.e. not Inq or Knights), an Allied detachment is 1 HQ, 1-2 Troops, 0-1 Elite, 0-1 Fast, 0-1 Heavy. So yes, what he's got is legal, and could technically even add an Elites choice if desired.

[Mr Mystery]

Ah cool. I see where my confusion arose! 0-1 each mistaken for 0-1 in total!

And Darklink makes me look thick (had forgotten about the squadrons!)

If your main goal is to kill Knights take LR Vanquishers insteD of standard Leman Russes. You can fire the Vanquisher Cannon as well as the Lascannon on the move if need be and the Vanquisher Cannon will punch right through the armor on the things.

And if your goal is to kill Knights I'd ditch the Quad Gun and take an Icarus Lascannon for the same reason. More chances to penetrate them, plus it's cheaper points wise. And it's better at killing enemy flyers like a Helldrake or Vendetta in a Marine's hands as well.

You wanna kill Imperial Knights at long range grab yourself an Aquila Strongpoint instead of an Aegis Defense Line., the D weapon is very likely to help destroy the first Knight it hits preferably his Warlord, and the resulting explosion from killing the Knight may very well take another Knight or part of his force with it.

Knights are capable of getting around fast though so you do need to put up a picket fence of cheap infantry to keep them from advancing across the battlefield too fast, a good use for Imperial Guard w/ Melta Guns, Vendettas flying around will finish the rest. As you essentially force him to throw everything he's got at your Aquila Strongpoint till its gone, you can do a lot with Terrain Placement of Ruins or LoS blocking terrain midfield to funnel those big boys where you need them to be
