And the D-weapon rules clearly say that you don't get a save or defensive ability of any kind against D-weapon hits unless it specifically states that the save/ability applies to D-weapons (such as Eldar titan holofields). There's no dispute here at all, knight shields do not work against D-weapon hits.
There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

Forge World does a really nice tech priest model already. Worth taking a peek if you're interested in that sort of thing.

In the fluff Titans hate infantry - that's why they have Skitarii escorts. Its the same as tanks in built up areas - bad things happen to Titans on their own, even Imperator Titans - see Helsreach
Can anyone remember if Knight Households succumbed to Chaos in Epic - I would have thought at least some would have been on the Traitor side in the HH?

Titans, yes, but Knights are designed to engage infantry. Facing enemy armies with nothing but other Knights is their entire purpose.

Mechanicum had houses side with Horus (or at least side with tech priests that sided with Horus).

So, now I'm confused after having seen it next to a Trygon. Why are these going to be super-heavies and not MCs like everything else that size? There's just no rhyme or reason to the rulemaking is there?
Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do
