Quite liked how that's an option for the one in Dawn of War 3? Do knights in the game have the option to do this and would it be worth losing the D weapon?

I was considering getting one instead of a leviathan dread with twin quad auto.

Chaos Knights using the rules from the Renegade box I believe can take double Gatling but I don't believe there is an IoM variant that can take such a loadout. As to if it will be worth taking, it honestly depends on what role you want your Knight to fill. If your army needs a durable shooting platform that can kick around light/medium infantry in CC then its worth it. If you need something that can take down MCs, Walkers, and Super Heavies in CC then you probably want that melee weapon.

Renegade knight only and yes.

Please note, for those of you who play Chaos Daemons as a faction the term "Daemon" is potentially offensive. Instead, please play codex "Chaos: Mortally Challenged". Thank you.

The gatling guns are REALLY nice, but sometimes you really need Str D. The Warden with missile pod is my sweet spot for my BA.

If they can, they might as well. That said, there's so many tools at their disposal that you're able to have a little fun with loadouts a d still not do terribly.

The old/original version of Knights in Epic had the Warden as a heavier armored Knight variant with two gatling arms and a carapace missile launcher. With the Renegade Knights rules, you can field such a Knight (sans "heavier armor").

Indeed. I would have liked a second gatling to be an option for the warden specifically for this reason.

I really wish I could have put a second gatling gun on my Knight but alas, not an option.
