Destrier is kind of mid?

Ok its strengths are obviously that it's fast, and towering gives it some play.

The guns are mid. At best, absolute best, you have 30 S6/7 shots that hit on 3's. They ignore cover, cool, so you can bully all the 3+ armor t3-5 targets that are sitting around. Basically the action monkeys and objectives babysitters. You'll kill almost 3 custodians, or put about 6-8 wounds into a tank.

The close combat is acceptable... But still not great. He wants to charge big targets, but you're going to miss 2 attacks more often than you'd like and that leaves you with ~8 wounds with either of the weapons. Double melee might up that to ~10.

Then you're in close combat without an invul save.

I can't help but think I'd rather have gotten the IK equivalent of the karnivore and brigadeer, each 100 points less, and arguably better at these jobs.

Am I missing something?
