Start Competing: Chaos Knights Tactics
The Chaos Knights are the dark mirror of their Imperial counterparts. Where the Knight Households of the Imperium hold themselves to the Code Chivalric and the virtues of duty, honour, and loyalty, the Chaos Knights lust only for power. Their war marchines proclaim not their noble deeds and ancient lineages, but their viciousness and cruelty, and the gruesome acts they have committed in the service of their dark gods.
Faction Overview
Similarly to the Imperial Knights, the Chaos Knights are an exclusively vehicle-based faction, though they can supplement their forces with Chaos Daemons (with some limitations). Beyond the obvious like army and detachment rules, the key differences between the Imperial and Chaos versions are 1) the expanded range of datasheets available to Chaos and b) the ability to run an army entirely of War Dogs, the Chaos equivalent to Armigers. So far in 10th edition, this has been the preferred way to play for most Chaos Knights players, with very few of the larger Knights seeing the table – it’s hard to beat the efficiency of the best of the Dogs.
