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. Ballistics meaning bullets like in modern tech? Yeah, not gonna stop lasers and plasma, or grenade rounds from a bolter or in melee up against say a chain or power weapon.

2. While I agree that dual wielding is impractical, I was simply stating that an astartes could do so if he was inclined or if he didn't care about accuracy like when facing off against tyranids or orks, and as Slug Gunner said, Space marines are pretty sturdy dudes, especially with strength augmenting power armor.

3. Source? Your imagination? A knight errant's weaponry includes autocannons that can tear down a titan's shields in seconds, lascannons that can melt through armor, massive chainswords and power lances, as well as powerfists, and an ion shield to take hits with. Even if the Thor could fly there's no guarantee that the knight won't just, you know, move out of the way? They can do this thing called moving you know, it tends to help with things like that.

4. I can say the same thing pal, except 40k nukes tend to wipe out continents, so yeah... pretty fail argument there.

5. While I'm not certain if a single 40k ship can glass a planet, I'm willing to bet it'd only take five ships to exterminatus a planet, and in a war of extermination the IOM will have a much, MUCH bigger advantage due to it's sheer size.
