1.) Did you all forget the ballistic shield?

2.)Dual-wielding is for idiots, or those with amazing arm strength. A Bolter will have far much more recoil than a normal gun, anyhow.

3.)The Knight Errant against a Thor is treated like a Anti-Armor gun against a M4 Sherman, when in reality, it's a M1 Abrams against a Anti-Armor Gun.

Two entirely different animals there, my boy.

Unlike the Knight Errant, Thors are self-repairing and have particle beam weapons for a comparatively small walker.

You've also neglected that a Thor flies, my friend. You see, a Siege Walker could fly over the Knight Errant and transform to Walker mode in mid-air, crushing anything below it.

4.) Good luck getting to them with those nukes they can call down.

5.) Ahahahaha, no. 20 ships charred Korhal. 1.) BALLISTIC shield, useless against those las-tech or plasma weapons which the Imperium is quite fond of...

2.) Space Marines HAVE amazing arm strength.

3.) The Knight Errant against a Thor is an even match except that the Knight has a superior pilot-vehicle interface which gives it an edge.

The Knight could just take down the Thor before it can self-repair. Simple enough.

4.) Nukes? What yields, I'm only seeing kilotons in the lore. Not much that'll do when Battle Titans are regualrly dishing out and tanking lots of megatons. Besides, you seem to think that the Ghost won't just be mindraped at long range by Librarians or Sanctioned Psykers as soon as it enters the battlefield with a nice psionic signature that screams big dumb target for all your mindrape!

5.) One single Imperial ship can glass a planet in about the same time as those 20 ships glassed Korhal. Much less if they use cyclonic torpedoes. Starcraft ships do not dream of the yields that 40K ships put out.
