I think the problem with the LoW, is if you do not have one you do not understand the weakness of a LoW, but I am not going to tell you what they are.
But most players seem to be scared by just the physical size of them.
And YES the Knights have played a manrogue drop pod list and it was touch and go for most of the game.
Yes you do need to know the weaknesses. But, and this is a big but, LoW can take on armies by themselves if you dont super optimise for them.
Lets be honest. Johnny pick up who didnt know he was facing a single knight, let alone 5 hasnt a hope in hell.
Its why alot of people wont play your 4 knight list dave. Its not fun to have these 4 leviathans of metal turn an army to paste turn 1.
I agree you can beat them if you build for it or you happen to play drop pod melta but other than that you HAVE to counter build.
Rant over.
