Imperial Knight and Astra Militarum

Taken as allies to an IK primary, the new AM codex lets you take a Tank squadron as an HQ choice, freeing up your heavy slot for Wyverns or Hydras, and still lets you load up on infantry for scoring.

This wouldn't make any sense. Knights are between 375-450 points, leaving you 1K of primary IG to build a solid backbone for the army on. It would be far more foolish to have the Knight as primary and the IG as allied detachment. Just limits you on FoC space for the IG, which have a MUCH larger army selection.

Three scoring units that are hard to kill or displace, supported by a flexible ally comp that brings AA and/or AP with scoring bodies and even more Armor.

Oh, you mean extra cheese.

Regarding the bubble wrap infantry, I can see some spaced out ones making close in deep strikes dangerous. Hopefully with all the long range firepower of guard you're going to be able to target and destroy melta or other worries that are on the table and threatening - that might help keep the pods or stormtroopers at least 6" out. I'm not sure it would really work all that well in practice, vs. putting the points to better offensive use.
