I just can't tell which of these is the better heavy support answer to Imperial Knights and anti-vehicles. Anybody have some input on them?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731996/9479356.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731996/9479356.page GMT Centurion Devastators Vs.

That being said, neither unit is that points efficient against them compared to a predator or devastator squad. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731996/9479996.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731996/9479996.page GMT Centurion Devastators Vs. Relic Leviathan Dreadnought devs plus a chapter ancient and you'd still have some points left over. At least in that case if your devs get targeted they can shoot back on a 4+ if they die.

Another good option is a storm raven - the knight will have a lot of trouble killing it and I almost forced to shoot at it because that's 2 meltas to the face plus the las cannons and rockets.

I don't know about the leviathan but if it has to get within 18 inch to shoot the knight with it's guns it's already in charge range to get obliterate the next turn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731996/9480026.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731996/9480026.page GMT Centurion Devastators Vs.

It will rip up infantry and light tanks, and the thing is about as tough to kill as a land raider. Then get Las somewhere else in the list. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731996/9480119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731996/9480119.page GMT Centurion Devastators Vs.

I have to say, this is one of the units where I really just don't care about points efficiency. It's just that cool.

That being said, you have a 4++ in close combat. Your claw/drill will do the work against knights. It's not going to chop one in half, but you could totally do 9-12 wounds if you're still in the top bracket when you swing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731996/9481640.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731996/9481640.page GMT Centurion Devastators Vs.

Haha, you and I have a similar mindset it seems.

Thank you both for the input! I fed both units into an online calculator and it looks like the Centurions do substantially better against a Knight in the ranged department, but the Leviathan is a great all-rounder with either Grav or Storm loadouts. So it's a tough call still. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731996/9481644.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731996/9481644.page GMT Centurion Devastators Vs.
