Melta drop pods = dead knights.

Divert power to shields!

You need quite a bit of meltas and a bit of luck. but they can do it.

Its even possible to do with with just 2. (both hit, both pen, both unsaved, both rolls explosion, both rolls d3 hp)
its insanely unlikely though

2 units of meltas in 2 pods do the job. Shield or no shield.

Even if they leave it on 1-2 HPs they've succeeded. Its easy enough to get a couple long range shots past the shield, its much harder to get 6, but the Meltas can take care of it.
