Something wicked and extremely large this way comes. After being forced to limp along with Index entries, Chaos Knights got thrown a very paltry bone last year with the Renegade Knights mini-codex, which gave them access to a warlord trait and a pair of stratagems.
Well no more! With the release of codex chaos knights pdf download Chaos Knights Codex, Chaos has been granted its own suite of warlord traits, relics, subfactions, and stratagems to flesh out its own knights, as well as a new dual kit with extremely sick digitigrade legs and a new gun. So is this new Codex a meta-warping, game-changing monster? Or full of dull entries into the Chaos unit stable? The Chaos Knights Codex revises the content from the Chapter Approved update of the Renegade Knights Codex and adds two new units, both of which are built from the new Chaos Knight Dual kit: The Rampager, a close-combat knight armed with a Reaper Chainsword and Thunderstrike Gauntlet, codex chaos knights pdf download, and the Knight Desecrator, codex chaos knights pdf download comes armed codex chaos knights pdf download a Las Destructor and a close combat weapon of your choice.
In total, that gives Chaos Knights two more options than loyalists, codex chaos knights pdf download, plus more customisation on their standard knights. Unlike Imperial Knights, where a lot of the variety and customisation came from the wide spread of faction traits available to them, Chaos Knights have been grouped into just two larger buckets that grant more flexibility within them, codex chaos knights pdf download.
On top of this, you can declare some of your Knights to be Dreadblades, the equivalent of Imperial Freeblades. Each of these offer you some quite different benefits to turbo-charge your gigantic spike-bot. Iconoclast Households are designed for people who want to charge their Knights straight at the enemy and reap a terrible toll in close combat.
Their Ambition trait gives them two benefits in the first round of combat when they charge, get charged or heroically intervene. The first is an additional attack, which is always nice to have, but we would argue that the second benefit, improving the AP of their weapons by one, is the real bonus. These combine to makes a spectacular difference to damage output against some important targets. The other unique trick that Iconoclasts have is access to a set of three Stratagems that can be used pre-game up to once each, and only one on each knight to codex chaos knights pdf download a game-long buff to one of your Knights.
These are:. The opportunity cost for Chaos to have this in their toolkit is way lower, and that makes it extremely good. Vow of the Beastslayer is a tiny bit less exciting than the others, codex chaos knights pdf download, but more options are basically always good. This is a bit underwhelming — for 2CP you can re-roll hits for all Iconoclasts attacking a given charged target in the fight phase.
War Dogs are a different story — the Iconoclast Ambition turbo-charges Warglaives while doing nothing for Helverins. Warglaives have already been growing in popularity in Imperial lists, codex chaos knights pdf download, and we think this might be where they hit the big time — the ambition is exceptional on them, and adding them unlocks it for bigger Knights.
The choices are:. War Dog Helverins get a very nice boost from this — pushing one of their guns to S8 and a ridiculous damage four is worth a bit of pain and the resulting extra faff when it codex chaos knights pdf download to resolving their shots.
We have to assume Infernal War Dogs have a terribly unbalanced work out regime, as every last one of them has one Trogdor-like beefy arm carrying a souped up glowing autocannon, while the other looks a bit limp in comparison. Well, Wings with horror, TheChirurgeon with sadistic glee, codex chaos knights pdf download. Luckily, none of the Infernal strats are tied up in pre-game buffs, and three of the four are pretty spicy:.
Our review team is split on whether Infernal or Iconoclast Knights make out better, but we can both agree that these stratagems are extremely good, and give Infernals a good bit of depth.
At the start of the game, codex chaos knights pdf download, each Dreadblade can either choose a Pact or roll for two, and must either select two Damnations to go with it or roll for one. At the start of each turn, a Dreadblade has to roll 2D6; if they roll under their Leadership value, they ignore their Damnations for a turn. Damnations Note that these are only active for the turn after you fail a Leadership test.
If you do find yourself wanting one of the Pacts, Volatile Reactor seems like the most benign Damnation, with Warp Fugue likely the next choice unless there are Titanic tier melee threats that are going to be coming after you.
Chaos Armigers are what they always were, providing solid, long-ranged firepower for wiping out heavy infantry or light vehicles. Helverins are an interesting unit.
The Imperial version has fallen off a lot in popularity after the initial hype at least partially due to the advent of Prepared Positionsbut Chaos armies lack the kind of quality long-range shooting that Astra Militarum brigades and battalions can provide and so there may be a role for them now that Chaos Knights give the broader Chaos faction more options.
The big question will be whether their output and durability can match various flavours of Hellforged Contemptor, which are seeing a lot of play at the moment. This means that it no longer falls foul of the incredibly stupid order-of-operations rule, and when shooting things that have a hit modifier i. This, along with their ability to codex chaos knights pdf download one of their guns get super pumped up via the Infernal ambition, should hopefully be enough codex chaos knights pdf download them to see play.
Warglaives seem like a big winner from this codex — the Iconoclast pact is substantially better for them than any single Imperial Household Trait, and a lot more of the value of the Chaos Knights is baked into the Ambitions, codex chaos knights pdf download, so a cheap way of ensuring that a bigger Knight gets one is more intrinsically valuable. The key additional trick this gives you over Imperial Knights is the ability to double up on the same ranged weapon — Imperial Crusaders can take two guns, but they have to be different, codex chaos knights pdf download.
The most infamous loadout this permits is giving the Despoiler a pair of Avenger Gatling Cannons, turning your knight into a monster that spits out 24 S6 AP-2 D2 shots per turn. Somewhat confusingly for people who know the various books well, a whole bunch of the points costs for weapons have changed compared to Imperial Knights and the Renegade Index.
Avenger Gatling Cannons have received a probably sensible slight hike, going up by 10 points a piece. Both the other big guns have gone down by varying degrees — the RFBC has received a 10pt drop, and the Thermal Cannon a mighty This sums up to mean that Crusader-style loadouts will codex chaos knights pdf download cost about the same as Imperial knights, but the dual Gatling build will cost a bit more than it used to which is probably for the best given some of the tools you can now combine with it.
We think this build could be the hidden gem of the codex. Note: one of our authors is way higher on this than the other. You know what you need to do, readers. The Chaos version of the Dominus-Pattern Knight. Prior to the Codex, these guys had very little going for them compared to their Imperial counterparts. The good news is, those holes have been filled by the Chaos Knights codex.
The Castellan has already seen a dramatic drop in play as a result of that points increase, and the same issues extend to the Knight Tyrant, which will have to be markedly better for the same points cost to justify bringing to games.
Now this guy has it going on. The Rampager gets the same bonus to its WS and Attacks, plus it gets a new ability that gives it exploding hits on 6s in melee on its Chainsword and Gauntlet. The sheer volume of Chaos Knights stratagems and household benefits that push toward close combat options seems to make this Knight codex chaos knights pdf download more attractive of the two codex chaos knights pdf download units, but only getting the exploding hits for Chainsword and Gauntlet attacks is a real downside.
Not being able to take a top gun is also a random nasty blow that just makes me want to take a Gallant equivalent with Ironstorms instead. In addition to the five units available in the new Chaos Knights codex, the Questor Traitoris have access to seven other Knights, available as kits from Forgeworld and with rules in Imperial Armour Index: Forces of Codex chaos knights pdf download. Of these, codex chaos knights pdf download Lancer is probably the most notable.
Trail of Destruction and Rotate Ion Shields remain the bread and butter here, and mostly what this list does is bring Chaos Knights to parity with the standard set of tricks Imperials has. Yet another part of the mosaic that shot Imperial Knights onto the big time was how easy it was to apply warlord traits to Knights of all kinds, because there were some absurdly powerful effects in the list.
Bursting Knights down with psychic Mortal Wounds is either plan A or plan B for a lot of armies, and giving your lead Knight resilience to this and the ability to deny a key power like Doom is big money. Last but not least, we have the relics. The Infernal Ambition basically required this to be the case — the step up Daemonic Power gives a high ROF gun is pretty similar to the step up the Imperial Relics gave them, so if you could stack both of them on a single gun it would be kind of absurd.
Full detachments, on the other hand, are probably quite a bit better, as both the Infernal and Iconoclast Ambitions are more powerful than any of the Imperial ones, especially on the appropriate flavour of War Dog. Army List - Click to Expand. This is inspired by an Imperial Knight list that Wings played against at a tournament, which mixed and matched two Super Heavy detachments of different houses that gave the biggest benefits to the Knights within them.
This does the same with Infernals and Iconoclasts. This lets you use both kinds of War Dog to full effect, and has an absolute tonne of CP to charge up your Valiant. You can stack whichever Iconoclast vows are best onto the Valiant, while the Infernal Detachment hangs back and shoots stuff. Dual Thermal Iconoclast Knights seem really, really good. The Dual Avenger build is still good enough that you want one, as quite a lot of the flexible relics and abilities are very powerful in the right matchups, so you want one around to buff up as appropriate, but Dual Thermals are great on the wing-giant robots.
To back up the brutal power these represent you want bodies, but one of the problems with trying to mix hordes and Knights is tripping yourself up — Plaguebearers in particular are very slooooow unless you invest in buffs that you could be spending Knight points on. What I want to do instead is talk about the War Daddy detachment. Ultimately, codex chaos knights pdf download, the goal here is to provide strong, long-range support for other Chaos units that are focusing on either melee like a Lord Discordant or high-volume short- or mid-range fire.
Generally, the Knights make good supporting fire and alternate targets to cover the Lords Discordant, and the new Skyreaper protocols help Chaos deal with Eldar flyers that otherwise give them a pretty hard time.
