Those Summer Knights

[kveldulf]

Evening all,
Any tips for dealing with a Knights army? Those guys just happily wander across the battlefield soaking up damage and obliterating any nid units silly enough to emerge from cover. I've had some luck with the Tyrannofex, zoanthropes and the ubiquitous shardgullet but any further advice would be most welcome!

I don’t know if you mean shooting specifically. Harpy should do good work and also move block. Carnifexes with heavy venomcannons could also work fine. In melee I’m thinking warriors. It would be helarious in behemoth where they could potentially wound on 2+

A Reaper Hivetyrant should also go through most big Knights like butter (at least he routinely melts chaos knights. i never play against the non spikey ones)

Doesn't Leviathan Warriors just laugh and cut them down with S8 ap-2 2D?

Behemoth Warriors, after charging and casting their psychic power, can wound T8 on a 2+

Yeah, but transnid helps keep them alive against those rapid fire battle cannons.

I am going to a teamevent with lots of Chaosknights and Imp knights. I play Jormundaggar and have lots of HVC and the mortal wound machine of maleceptor and zoanthropes. Give some tips on how to deal with them? Where lie the traps? What should be my stratagy? The obsec trickery from CK seem tough and since I often use obsecmonster trait I might want to change that. Mayby go for the psychic one?

What are the collective experience of the hivemind?

Knights don't have an invuln save against melee, a lot of people forget this, so you can try some crushing claws on your carnifex and shouls be doing well. Try to give your enemy other thins to shoot at though.
