Knight Rampager (A new, close-combat Chaos Knight). Knight Despoiler (A “standard” knight, able to double up on weapon options). The full list of available units in the book is: In total, that gives Chaos Knights two more options than loyalists, plus more customisation on their standard knights. The Chaos Knights Codex revises the content from the Chapter Approved 2018 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, and the Knight Desecrator, which comes armed with a Las Destructor and a close combat weapon of your choice. Credit: TheChirurgeon, who is extremely excited to have new toys The Army So is this new Codex a meta-warping, game-changing monster? Or full of dull entries into the Chaos unit stable? Join us as One_Wing and TheChirurgeon dive into the new release and examine the good, the bad, and the ugly about the new book. Well no more! With the release of the 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.
As a result, they’ve been forced to watch as Imperial Knights players had all the fun dominating tournaments and warping the meta with their massive engines of destruction while Chaos Knights went unused. 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. Something wicked (and extremely large) this way comes.
This week, One_Wing and TheChirurgeon are reviewing the new Codex: Chaos Knights, and talking strategy for using the units therein. In our Reviews, we take a look at the contents of the new product and what it means for you, whether you’re going to be playing with the new faction and rules, or potentially playing against them. As Games Workshop releases new kits, rules, and books for Warhammer 40,000, we’ll be there to review them.
