Like I said, it depends on the armament and equipment each has. What is crucial is how far away they are when they start, where they are, and whether the Dreadknight has a personal teleporter. If it doesn't, then the Riptide wins hand down cos it'll just leap around with its jetpack whilst the Dreadknight desperately tries to catch it.

Btw, if the Dreadknight was copied off unknown alien technology, I wonder what was the original... (and better one, cos Imperial tech is bad by nature)... *hinthint*

Being a Psyker barely makes a difference in this battle, as the Psyker powers are mainly used for boosting  combat prowess, and that will come into effect if it can get into combat in the first place.

The Riptide has the advantage in terms of manoeverability, firepower (duh), toughness (oh yes, its tougher than a Dreadnight), better shielding capabilities (when nova-charged), and actually reasonably good in combat (due to its nature as a monstrous creature style thing).
