Super heavies or super lame?

I have no problems playing LoWs, in fact I have been known to field 5 Imperial Knights in an army and usually two when Allied with the Sisters.

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.

In that case you may as well say that you are not going to play the Drop-Pod list or a Teleports Centstars list, just because you have not built a list to take advantage of their weaknesses.

** SPOILER ** You have to play a different tactic against the Knight Army, you most likely will not don't beat the Knight List in a straight shooting fight, but you beat them by concentrating you fire on one at a time and by getting more Tactical Objectives - By having usually 2, 3 or 4 times the number of units you can easily get more Tactical Objectives completed per turn.

These days I am playing the Sisters with 2 Knights (The Knights are only there because the Sisters have basically no Tanks) and to be honest it is a much tougher list than the 4 or 5 knights.

fyi - JJ has beaten the knights with his Eldar.
