Lol, so far not much help with tactics, here's some helpful pointers for the noobs...

- Easy to outflank when drawing them in... Take one at a time, they are fast but it can be their undoing as the shield only protects one side, just let him think he's walking up to your face then hit it from multiple sides with AP1/2 weapons and give him the choice to protect his knight from one side only, melta chimeras, outflanking on speeding bikes, flyers with missiles, you name it, use it all on the one and hit it hard!...

- Use the trees, the bloody things are huge, but just hide your men on multi-level buildings and GtG against his shots, he cant charge you if he can't make base-to-base, that meaning if you deploy your men in terrain or structures that disallow his base to fit then your only being hit by his shooters, sit in a crammed invun skyshield and laugh at him cause he cant even declare to charge your men...

-Use flyers, self explanitory, watch your light flyers, his 2 heavy stubbers will snap shot + glance your rear on 6's...

- Lock them in combat, yeah D-weapons slaughter stuff, but his HOW and regular attacks can only be directed at 1 model at a time (so great poss 5 guys dead)... Sure its not a guaranteed safety measure as he will be able to stomp your other models, but stay a few turns in combat and he's chances of raping the rest of your army are diminished... Some fearless or stubborn units will be handy, or have re-enforcements handy to throw into the fray (great for nids with plenty of suicidal gaunts)... Also marines make great knight stoppers, as his stomp hits will generally cause AP4 hits so you'll be getting your 3+ saves anyway. Melta bombs and haywire grenades...

- D weapons, a Shadowsword will insta kill one of these monstrosities on a 6!...

- Ram it with a super heavy tank, seen it done, its funny cause the knight will have to take it first before it can strike back, just roll high!...

- Fight fire with fire, take one of your own, they make for interesting duels...

Take it or leave it, this is not guaranteed safety, but will make the 5 knight butt-rape hurt less...

Not bad advice, but you just necro'd a 2 month old thread
