Chaos Knights, also known as Daemon Knights, Renegade Knights or Questor Traitoris, are Knights and their Households that have been corrupted by the powers of Chaos. Since the Horus Heresy, thousands of individual Knights and even entire Knight Houses have been corrupted by Chaos and betrayed the Imperium. The first Renegade Knights appeared during the Horus Heresy, when many of the Knightly households sided with Warmaster Horus. However since the Heresy, many more Knights have betrayed the Imperium. Some were corrupted after their worlds were swallowed by Warp Storms while others were slowly driven mad by the endless carnage they witnessed and inflicted on countless campaigns.

So apparently wardogs are actually pretty fucked as well. Their helmets force them to comply with the orders of the bigger knights, but their exposure to the warp causes them to experience near constant dellusions of grandeur, and they constantly have thoughts of treachery against the full sized knights they serve, which the daemonic voices in the helmet reinforces. As such, wardogs feel a constant drive to stab the big bois in the back, but are physically unable to do so, which drives them insane.

[@Broomer52]

Theirs a few books including his own if you look hard enough that make him to be a pretty good person. He does have a really weird flaw that none of the other Primarchs have and it’s that when some genetic information gets unlocked in his mind sometimes it opens up a dam of info that effectively gives him amnesia. In the rush of information it wipes out his previous memories basically making him start from scratch. On record it happened twice. After traveling the world helping civilians to clear his conscience and get free stuff, becoming a legend in the process, he was climbing a mud hill in the rain when suddenly a surge of knowledge happened and he lost all memory of his time prior. He wondered “Why am I here? I’m a kid, what kind of father would abandon a kid like this?”

[@The_Bird_Bird_Harder]

@@Broomer52 That has to absolutely suck.

[@Broomer52]

@@The_Bird_Bird_Harder yeah, as a kid he became a folk hero, slaying monsters and saving villages only asking for food, clothing and to borrow a forge as payment. Then just before meeting his father he forgot all about being a literal hero. All of it started because he saw a kid get eaten by a giant snake and people begged him to do something. He wanted to help but couldn’t imagine a scenario where he could save the kid and left. Afterwards he got stuck on that moment and decided to go to barge into a forge and make a sword the blacksmith was stunned at how brazen this kid was and just had the feeling he should help since the sword he was making was very crude. Then good old Peter Turbo hunted down that monster, killed it dead and tracked down the father to let the father know his child was avenged. He was given awards as thanks for slaying the beast and he realize “I can slay monsters hurting people, people give me things when I help them. I can work with this” that entire hero’s journey just got kneecapped by amnesia. It was an absolute “this is what he could have been” moment

Bricky: THATS NOT FUCKING CANON! About the Iconoclast Knight houses. What Kirioth said is more or less correct except it went more like the ghost engrams in the throne sort of went "Oh no, dishonour! We must regain it by destroying our foes!" but that turned into a feedback loop whereby the Knights who followed Horus committed more dishonourable acts so they killed more until it became more about the act of killing anything and everything than the reason behind it. For the War Dogs they basically accept anyone who wants to try and Become, slap them in a "hacked" (read: brutalised by the Dark Mechanicum) Helm Mechanicum and if they live they throw them in a War Dog suit. Live is relative though, they don't care about the mental state of the new War Dog pilot and to a lesser extent the physical state because the Dark Mechanicum is the Dark Mechanicum and they have ways of dealing with it.

There's some Mechwarrior-esc RPG potential with the Imperial and Chaos Knights. You could be the last of your House, the last smoldering ember of honor. You'd be tasked with dealing with Local planetary issues as you're shown the ropes on how to pilot your Knight by your mentor, who makes note of your family's shame. You're not liked. As the game progresses, you'd earn respect and eventually gain access to space travel and soon inter-sector travel via the Warp. You'd make allies, enemies, make friends with a "young" Tech Priest(which would unlock the ability to modify your chosen Knight chassis.) From there, it'd be narrative driven and you'd earn loot, weapons, money and salvage from destroyed Knights, and other enemies.

@@riven5677 They don't have intelligence. An intelligent machine is heresy. This is why they require a human precept at all instead of being fully autonomous. What it DOES have is a will and wants. It it a war machine, and so what it wants is to do exactly what it was meant to: destroy everything in it's path. The precept is the Ego to the machines Id, making logical decisions and suppressing the machines spirits base desires. Knights work similarly, but the ancestral spirits function as a moderator to give the knight and it's precept a sense of duty and honor so that it's less of a wrestling match of wills and more of a mutual experience. Consequently of course when those ancestral spirits go mad or are replaced with demons, it drives both the pilot and the knight insane...

I was hoping for a bit more on the Houses but I guess another episode down the line. 2 stand out to me. 1) House Korvax being spirited away House Raven Knights who can now move through shadows, cus the Knight Rampager on the other side of the building wasn't scary already now it's just gonna go through the building like it wasn't even there. Which leads to an amazing head canon of how that happens of just shadows coalescing onto the side of the building so that the stain becomes thick and out looms this tar dripping Knight face followed by it slowly reaching out with it's claw as it lopes out of the wall just absolutely dripping this inky darkness off of it, this awful wet sucking sound assaulting your ears as the shadow slowly sloths off of its panels, before it goes to absolute town on anything unfortunate enough to be on the other side of that wall. 2) House Khymere, who were staunch loyalists during the Heresy era but got chased into the Eye but the Imperium all the while Imperium screaming "Heretic, foul demon spawn, etc etc etc". Khymere, very confused, ran into the Eye trying to show their innocence and get some Tzeentch level fuckery happen to them meaning they spent centuries, millennia even, stuck in the Warp being casually Daemon tortured. The Warp then spits the gibbering insane wrecks of this once proud House back into realspace IN THEIR OWN PAST so they start rip and tearing Imperial forces which starts the whole Khymere witch hunt off in the first place. Tzeentch was definitely on the ball that day in some capacity, I'm sure if he understood the concept he'd've be pissing himself with laughter.

Shy can you get the dumdums shock collars please? They're so distractable when they have a friend over.

[@TycoonTitian01]

Adding to the orange dance knight, chug jug in the background

[@TheXer01]

She’s just a little Shy. Tiny cherubic, teeny wings flappin. Just a little Shy.

[@F0XDogWithABigSmile]

Kirioth seriously!! You under sold 'House Devine' the bonfire was a Imperator Class Titan!!!! "Vengeful Spirit" Book Club!!!!!!

[@Crazael]

47:00 When a word starts with an H followed by a vowel, it's very easy for it to get dropped because it's such a small sound. Herb, Honor, Hour.. they all drop the H.

[@alistairb5839]

Man I'm loving all the Kirioth in this podcast. Much love.

[@kingcrab7837]

Flayed ones trying to fit foam gloves with “#1 best knight” written on it

[@owengautreau1233]

Could you do a video on the adeptus arbites. The only people with the authority to kill an inquisitor if they act up on there planet

[@dokb1942]

Idk… seeing that image i had Karen the Betrayer running through my brain… even though she is more scary than any karen in existence. Love you guys keep up the awesome work, and more Kirioth is always good!

[@hansiboo657]

>conqueror's abs Speaking of merging with vehicles

[@jennydeath6844]

I recently finished assassinorum kingmaker and its such a good look at knight society and their fall to chaos. Plus the assassins have really distinct personalities that have really nice banter

[@Khornecussion]

Imagine you die with your regiment to a knight and they start default dancing in front of a massive corpse fire, your body among the corpses.

[@dingabell1890]

i liked the idea for slaanesh knights can have a subjugator titan machine spirit put inside of them spectacular results for both the knight and the victims that have to face it

[@eichler721]

Love the episode and Chaos Knights are so cool lore wise. I love their ascetic and horror aspect

[@Wineblood]

I still come back to this episode for the quote and fantastic banter straight afterwards.

[@justinkroboth360]

Jfc, the picture of that guy blowing fog overtop Silent Hill 2 killed me

[@staffordsart]

I think the pilots probably get off on making their ancestors suffer .... less of a" he's in there with them" more of a" no you're in here with me" lol

[@Werrf1]

NGL, the Knight at the front at 38:16 looks awesome. Makes me want to get a Knight kit and paint it a creamy-beigey colour. And if you get that, congratulations on being old.

[@jagnestormskull3178]

Knight-Abominant is my favorite, potentially with Pyrothrone or Quicksilver Throne. What I understand about the lore of House Khomentis is cool; Chaos Knight equivalent of the Gal Vorbak in that they seek symbiotic possession, but because they're not Marines, they're ultimately doomed to die hosting the Neverborn, and new aspirants must take their place.

[@Melodock]

This is probably a bad idea, but this episode solidified my choice to make chaos knights my crusade force

[@johnpawlak7350]

Your next classy poster should be a sexy knight. Not because I want it, but because I know it would sell.

[@TiernanWilkinson]

Bro making physical posters is good idea, there's a couple I'd definitely buy.

[@columbuspope4764]

The book Steel Tread has a Chaos Knight in it. Fucking terrifying.

[@lep3nseur]

"We can all die but it will make the imperium mad so it's cool" Are French Chaos ?

[@mazeltovcocktail2.0]

Me explaining chaos knights to my partner I found it best to quote Brock Samson, "it's like he channels dead crazy people"

[@arcadiandynasty8830]

Man I love listening to this in my sleep. I woke up half asleep and misheard kirioth for luten

[@KolmManison]

39:32 "it got a bit Lannisters" I love how the Lannisters became the poster child of fictional incest from just Cersei and Jaime alone while the Targaryen, a family that is elbow deep in incest and inbreeding, is right there.

[@sebastianls412]

5:25 haha I live also in England in house covered in windows positioned to let in maximum sunlight so it gets like an oven in the summer, imagine my pain if you will

[@cep1830]

The female version of Karhn the betrayer should be called Kathrine the betrayer. (Forgive my spelling I’m new to warhammer names)

[@knoxminis1211]

I like how DK's armiger also had its shoulders on incorrectly.

[@nv7513]

59:58 watching this while painting sisters. couldnt agree more

[@Kibbet21]

My fav thing about the beginning is dk is right lotara is the conquerors literal abs now

[@JohnDoe-so6tx]

Not a fan of this poster in particular but I would definitely be interested in some of the older posters as physical posters!

[@vosteoperosisv6415]

Dentist chaos death knight shoots someone, and says "the only reason you are bleeding is because you don't floss enough"

[@antigrav6004]

I'm realizing we haven't had a black templars episode yet... We should change that. Especially considering some recent events.

[@LordOfGilneas]

17:28 IF no one here does a comic of Kronk the Renegade Knight, *There will be exterminatus to be had.*

[@fishqueen1702]

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS *IMPOSSIBLY LOUD DEMOIC WAR-HORN*

Me as a chaos knight pilot stuck fused to the chair: my nose iches
