Instead of 3D Manuever Gear they get in robots that are bigger than the Titans?

I used to have a baneblade called Dave. Sold him to my friend though.

“Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls.
The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does.
That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."

^^ Nice Jayne quote. Note the Cap'n Mal quote in my signature.

My knight, which is still sitting in its box, chilling out, will eventually be built into a Gallant variant, because the thought of a combat monster super heavy is too fun to pass up.

It will be an Adeptus Mechanicus themed knight, and I intend to name it something along the lines of "One who Sunders", which in Latin translates to:

Unum Quis Secernens

That's my contribution. Thanks for reading and take it easy.

Jeager as in Pacific Rim? Thag makes more sense to me.

If you do Attack on Titan, you should paint the Imperial Knight like it has no skin with only muscles.

You can check out my gallery for the 1st Concordian Armored Regiment. I am in the process of building a 2nd Concordian superheavy tank regiment (though it's not a full sized regiment now as it only has 2 companies and the command tank)

EDIT: Or you can check the link in my sig!

Not a superheavy but I have a necron warrior that my GF painted pink. I call that one pinky.

I also have a kitbashed imperial necron knight that I now call master blaster.

It's easy to assume that people arguing an interpretation you disagree with are just looking for an advantage for themselves... But it's quite often not the case.
