Chaos Knights vs Imperial Knights | Warhammer 40k Battle Report

The populace of this world shelter in their habs deafend by the concophony of thunder in the distance. Yet this is no storm on the horizon, but the calamitous din of tremendous war machines clashing in mighty combat. The loyal houses of the imperial Knights adhere to their code chivalric, meeting their foe head on, ready to dispatch whatever is foolish enough to cross them. However, the foe this day is an enemy most foul. A twisted reflection of the imperial honour. The Chaos Knights. Given in to the temptations of the warp this menacing hunting pack aims to claim more sinister trophies for their gods. Will the the ravenous dogs of chaos feast, or will they be sent back from whence they came…

[@nordicgaming8296]

Some say that he's part robot himself or that he may be, in fact, a collective hallucination. All we know: He's called the Stig!

[@stig4983]

😂

[@pandavikingguy6193]

💀💀😂😂

[@rustyfynn]

You just know everyone read that in Clarkson’s voice! 😂

[@sneezecat8433]

The missile pod falling off that knight as he lovingly pet it and bard pretending it didn’t happen made me crack up like you wouldn’t believe

[@tabletoptactics]

I am here to entertain 🤣 glad you enjoyed! - Bard

[@lockjaw36]

This was one of my favorite episodes, just on how close it got and how excited Bard was almost the entire time.

[@tabletoptactics]

Thanks buddy glad you enjoyed! I honestly couldn’t believe it at the end 😂 - Bard

[@furiyen4890]

This is why Knights need to exist as a 40k game outside of 40k itself. With added Eldar Knights / Ork Stompas. Make it so, GW.

[@tabletoptactics]

Would love to see more Stompas and Eldar Knights! - Bard

[@DJROCKSTAZ]

Don’t forget Tau battlesuits!

[@brettmcknight4677]

I would play a game called big stompy gitz

[@EmmanuelKa]

It's called Adeptus Titanicus and it is awesome​@@brettmcknight4677

[@itrogash]

The closest we have amongst GW games is Adeptus Titanicus. It's Titans instead of Knights but it's excellent in emulating skirmishes between gigantic machines. No xenos model though, but I still recommend it.

[@sniperlemming]

This is always one of the most entertaining matchups imo. Big Stompy Robots Blastin eachother to bits!

[@mrviking8450]

I love the wobbly rockets on the knights

[@tabletoptactics]

It helps with their accuracy 😂 - Bard

[@seerozymandias7616]

This was a great pairing! Knight vs Knight. Stig vs Bard. All around chaotic vibe.

[@tabletoptactics]

Glad you enjoyed buddy! - Bard

[@DaSkwire]

33:00 "If you've been affected by the Thermal Cannon please call the helpline on the website."

[@tabletoptactics]

Hahahha honestly I still can’t get over it 🤣 - Bard

[@alkdjioe]

I was feared the universe had broken you body and soul my friend.

[@ronwingrove683]

An infrequent appearance by Stig! Always a delight! And what a game!

[@ratman505]

Came for the explosions, wasn't disappointed. Great game!

[@tabletoptactics]

Explosions for the explosion god!

[@adamduncton6054]

Knight battle royal needed… imperial vs chaos vs orks (stompas etc) vs wraith knights! Please make it so! 😎🤞

[@tabletoptactics]

This is a fantastic idea! I will make it so! - Bard

[@DanielSmith-rz9rq]

Knights on Knights! Carnage, explosions, glorious melee - there's no greater showdown! Loved every minute.

[@jakobknudsen6864]

Man Fletcher's painting is slowly converting me to chaos. That knight Abominant looks *so* good!

[@somthingroseberry9744]

Let not your faith in the emperor be swayed, remain stead fast

[@aaronobrien2353]

Awsome battle! Ive never considered how fun a knight vs knight game could be looks so enjoyable

[@simonwiltshire3674]

That was a lot of fun to watch, for the noises from the players if nothing else.

[@Velgar_Grim]

Got to love the Imperial Bobblerobos. Not quite sure how those things are magnetized, but I sort of love it.

[@fletcherbamford-doe6578]

AND TONIGHT WE HAVE AN ABSALUTE INSANE DISPLAY! BROUGHT TO YOU ON FIGHT NIGHT. ITTTTTSSSSS A KNIGHT FIGHGGGGGGGHHHHT!

[@timkapernick7317]

Those Chaos Knights paint job is lit as hell

[@stig4983]

Thank you! We love them!

[@GiuseppePasquali2780]

Battle Report with Mr. Stig using Chaos Knights. What more could you ask for in life?

[@OptimusJedi]

That was awesome. What a game and so much fun.

[@gwaltzilla]

That was the best match I have seen in a long time. Thanks again for the awesome show.

[@tabletoptactics]

Thanks so much buddy! So glad you enjoyed! - Bard

[@gwaltzilla]

@@tabletoptactics Anytime! That was as even and fair a match as I have ever seen. I always love how you guys keep it fun and bravo for GW for making both Knight classes balanced finally. lol

[@halfcrafted]

Great to see a big boy bot battle on the board for 10th edition! Always entertaining, everyone loves a titan.

[@wolfstormminatures1504]

this was a great game but stig missed a rule with the desecrator, when it targets a vehicle or monster it gains dev wounds

[@stig4983]

If I remember correctly I realised this part way through… 🤔

[@Fantazy]

Big stompy robots are the best ! Thanks for the entertainment mates from France mates !

[@talscorner3696]

Big stompers! Stig! Dakka! YEEEEEEEEEEES!

[@kimsebimse6603]

Stig Stig Stig !! good to see ya again in a batrep :D btw, i hope to see you in the next league :)

[@timdornaus]

was aching for some chaos knights on the table lets go

[@tabletoptactics]

Enjoy buddy!!

[@One0Hero]

Chain gun SFX sounds like a hand held hover :D Fun batrep :)

[@Jason-35D]

This was great video. All the presenters are awesome, but Stig is my personal favorite.

[@Uncle_Anthoni]

These guys are perfect opponents. Really fun to watch.

[@stig4983]

Glad you enjoyed it! You’re very kind!

[@thierrysultan1468]

Glory to the Knights of Chaos !!!

[@ChristopherM.8]

What a delightful game!

[@Placentad]

I feel bards pain. I too am a man that can’t use normal probability because I roll an inordinate amount of 1’s

[@tabletoptactics]

Hahaha it’s a blessing and a curse, it certainly keeps you on your toes! 😂 - Bard

[@max16]

....O.O... i must have the foresight of the chaos gods or something... how the hell did i predict this.. im deadly happy for it atleast :P

[@tabletoptactics]

Everyone needs a giant robot knight fight every now and then! 😂 - Bard

[@normanberg6502]

Need to remember the battle shock tests

[@thegametroll6264]

Chaos knights in fantasy: heavy metal horsemen Chaos knights in 40K: heavy metal robot warriors

[@josephlyons01]

Yeaaaah boooooi

[@Chris-jl6vp]

I have a question for you guys! What colours did you use to paint the armour of those black(?) imperial knights? I am partially colourblind so subtle shades can blend together and so I'm pretty much incapable of mixing colours reliably, so it would be a great help if you could tell me the rough GW equivalent of those paints!

[@VikingGrazers]

excellent game. Thank you :)

[@stig4983]

No, thank you! 😂

[@The_Blackshield]

Big stompy robots and hobby time? Got to be Saturday morning with the TTT crew! :D

[@tabletoptactics]

Enjoy!!!

[@stig4983]

You’re welcome! 😂

[@hammer1349]

Those kharnivores are horrifying, and maybe undercosted. I'm curious why you didnt put "shoulder the burden" on the green knight to give it the extra save and hit rolls

[@jakesadler7266]

great video but I'm sure blast weapons can't fire into melee right?

[@oldoktober8116]

This terrain is incredible! Where can I find it?

[@gorryman]

fun dudes to watch fight , and the people are pretty fun too

[@SliverCreations]

This was an awesome battlereport. And yes Thermal Cannons can not be trusted!

[@stig4983]

Never trust a thermal cannon!

[@SliverCreations]

@@stig4983 This would make an awesome T-shirt quote!

[@Thoth_7]

Oh, neato! I didn't know you did BattleTech content also :)

[@taylorbotnewsomtest5860]

Did you just...

[@amandag.6186]

I'm starting a Chaos Knight army and my brother thinks about doing Imp army and the only thing i can think of is saying "KNIGHT FIGHT!"

[@anthonymidgley1478]

Gg lads

[@randomacademypilot]

Thank you.

[@stig4983]

Thank you.

[@XMan-mi6gs]

Knights!!! 2024 is going to be lovely isn’t it 😄

[@stig4983]

This is the one! 🎉

[@Bodinngy]

that was so neck to neck hahaha, question tho. when he slayed the warlord doesnt he become honoured and gain 2 or 3 cp and his 6+++ turns to a 5+++?

[@thecasualwargamer5195]

Awesome bat rep.

[@tabletoptactics]

Thanks buddy glad you enjoyed! - Bard

[@stig4983]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Koh-Learn]

I would love to see the Slaanesh Subjugator super heavy brought back. I also enjoyed the insanity of the Pleasure Reaper of Slaanesh (alternated Baneblade chassis) from back in the day (structure points anyone? - man I'm getting old 😂)

[@540bigman]

maybe im reading the rules wrong but doesnt the Desecrator gives wardogs reroll all hit rolls of one from the taskmaster aura? The fact that the rules of the game was written as rolling each die individually instead of all at once for attacks and seeing the first ranged attack from the Executioner made me ask this question.

[@brandonwoods2985]

Do they know what melta is because I keep seeing War Dogs nice and close not adding in their melta damage.

[@darenyoung1872]

Im new to warhammer40k i have imperial knights is there a faction that the knights will allie with?

[@D6Mafia]

I feel like everyonw forgets to do the battleshock for chaos knights. Denying strategems, and getting +1 wound and -1 hit is super gane changing late game but ots easily forgotten

[@ytho106]

ROBOTS :D

[@easchole9410]

First game after I painted my Abominant, turn 1 take a shot at the enemy Warden 9 shots 1 miss, move to wound roll 6 6s, 18 wounds By the Ruinous that felt good

[@RhodriKneath]

Stig 😊 happy new year long time. YNWA

[@perthbladerunner825]

How...how...HOW!? Does he roll so many one's??

[@robstott3684]

Can we have elder ork chaos and imperial knights fighting in a single game

[@otisred7848]

I really hope GW doesn't mess with chaos knights with the upcoming changes. Are big knights are garbage compared to imperial knights of they get the bondsmen ability back. Like it or not wardog spam with daemon allies is going to be the way to win competitive till we get better detachment rules. I really hope they don't jack up wardog points.

[@stig4983]

I understand where you’re coming from but I wouldn’t be too surprised if there’s some tweaks because some of the dogs do feel very out of line with the points on “equivalent” units from other armies. Having said that, I loved playing all the dogs! 😂

[@crusty1428]

Imperial Helverians are not even close to being as good as the chaos equivalents. The fact they cost the same point cost is ridiculous.

[@Moonwake534]

There’s a lot on facebook market place for 3 big knights for $300 so I might have to join the fight

[@chrisbowes5216]

Why did Chewbacca appear around the 54min mark? 😅

[@WraithRaider]

What a game, absolutely hilarious! Though I was screaming at the screen at the end a the FNP got better after the CK warlord died! :) Didn't matter ultimately thankfully.

[@thisisbullshit6visix]

GG

[@clawhammr666]

Yay chaos knights

[@jonathanhaynes9914]

Go Stig

[@deathwish40k83]

at 20 minutes in, does this guy not understand how Pterrorshade works???

[@2Infinit2]

More old world please! 🙏 😅

[@tabletoptactics]

It’s on its way! We do have more on demand and more coming this week, but we do still need to produce 40K 😅

[@2Infinit2]

@tabletoptactics 40 what? Sorry... never heard of it 😏😏😏😅

[@jackjames2872]

Could you not have used your cp to change the objective!!!

[@Waaagghhh]

wonder if they recorded this BEFORE the balance patch - the re-roll is a full re-roll for IK, not just 1s

[@tabletoptactics]

Video release- 13th Jan Balance Dataslate - 30th Jan I'd say so 😁

[@Waaagghhh]

@@tabletoptactics a great video - especially blown away by the beauty of the fallen household

[@FobianCr]

So, you chose "Reclaim the realm" as your oath? But why? "Lay low the tyrant" much better in this game.

[@geesehoward700]

Why is it every time I see a video about knights they are fighting something equally large?

[@stig4983]

It’s a tough one to balance against a more “normal” army as either they are too tough to deal with or the Knights just can’t keep up with the VP!

[@Kriegsman1119]

is that real poo or?

[@lassemelson5668]

Gotta love taking such a bad ck list to make the game even :D

[@cavemanban]

Abominants are just awful aren't they 😆

[@hotstill2532]

First one

[@RingWorlds]

Sorry I just can't do all the noises and sound effects, by that I mean, the ones you guys do yourselves like kids playing with toys, I'm weird lol, I know you guys are just having fun but it bothers me

[@BigMikeMcBastard]

Those Chaos knights really do look great. Not that the Imperial knights are any slouch, but the detail is impressive. Anyway, thanks for the game.
