Walker means able to traverse dangerous terrain better, not literal legs
RugII's reply does fit what I was thinking, but wasn't sure if they were also something almost akin to the new Admech cav (and a step up above the bioengineered Death Rider mounts) - the elite having upgraded their mounts, or replacing them with something mechanical that can keep up.
'Walker' is a rule, but it's also an archetype. 41st Millennium is a big place and if cyborg cavalry was going to be anywhere, this is the list...
Thinking about using this as a 'counts as' anyway as Tank Khans. Kind of regiment that is recruited from a feudal style world but rather than just used as cavalry or horse archers, they're after a regiment with that kind of tactical and strategic thinking that can then be outfitted for the 41st Millennium as a mobile raiding regiment with tanks and mechanised infantry. Whilst also obviously keeping the horses, as that's part of the officer classes status and very useful as outriders, scouts and support that can keep up.
