I ask this: How effective is a Knight Atrapos vs a Storm Surge?

I ask as there are multiple Tau players at my FLGS and more often or not there is a Riptide or a Storm Surge somewhere.
Recently in a 750 3 vs 3 match the Tau guy brought a Storm Surge and a handful of troops with the hover defense platform with the railcannon (I cannot recall its name offhand).

I want to know how effective is the Knight Atrapos vs a Storm Surge?
Could it survive the barrage it will absolutely have thrown at it (From said Storm Surge and any other forces that may or may not accompany it).
How well could the Atrapos bring it down? I'm aware its the "Anti super heavy/GC" Knight but I have never seen one in action, so I would like some opinions.


If the Atrapos is not the answer (or is not an effective answer) to this foul Xenos machine, is there another Knight variant you recommend?


Edit: forgot to point out. All Imperial, so not sure if can do twin Gatling (would love too).

Getting there can be pretty hit or miss though, as its own D missiles are a bear. The best thing to do is try and get the drop on it....but interceptor....it's really tough to face in a low points game like that]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693595/8712881.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693595/8712881.page GMT
