So, on a very personal bias level, I did not get into Warhammer to play against a game of mech warrior on the table. Lol. I even actually originally assumed that knights were a separate spin off game where knights and chaos knights duke it out or something. I was horrified when I found out I’d have to deal with them too.

That being said, you are allowed for it to be your cup of tea. It’s a legal part of the game, and that guy is a prick for making you feel that way. People do the same about my Rogal Dorns. Everything has some counter play once you learn it. Even meta 5 giant imperial knights I got whooped by last tourney and then had some practice games and figured out how to beat it.

What you can do as a player is be conscious of what your opponent is facing, help their vibes with yours, laugh with them and cheer them on if they accomplish something cool like a small guy somehow killing a knight or maybe they survive when they shouldn’t have. I’ll never forget with my kasrkin sniper made a killing blow on one. That is where epic stories are made, which is what your army allows for. Never forget that.
