NEW Chaos Knights Detachment Overview

[@PaintCelestine]

Fun fact, the dark sacrifice rule doesnt specify 'friendly' damned units. So vs CSM, nom their accursed cultists to jack up your offensive power.

[@Orannis01]

That's hilarious and probably an oversight lol

[@norikwiese8900]

I dont know how good this will be competitively but flavourwise I *love* this

[@aseofspades4802]

Unrestrained rage also lets you advance and shoot and charge. honestly one of the best parts of the detachment imo

[@nathanielhurley3960]

Did you order a cerastus lancer turn 1?

[@AngryAcolyte]

Looks like fun, I just think most knight players wanted a better way to play knights that wasn’t “take 500pts of another army”.

[@Dethectic]

This was my first thought

[@hahaha1171]

You're right, my main army is Chaosknights and this sucks. It's doesn't matter if it's good.

[@Kibbet21]

Tbh for me it was also the lack of a way to get 4++

[@CalebGrady-j8t]

This is just my two cents but without smaller units there is almost 0 way to win a game there's just not enough units to take objectives and kill. What's even better is they gain sticky objectives. Also the strats will win you every game without even having cultists. So you can also just take no cultists and just take the strats

[@alexandersmith1264]

You can take 100 cultists and 10 wardogs in this army

[@alexandersmith1264]

100 cultists, 6 karnivores, 3 brigands, 1 stalker + the scout relic

[@CxBrowne]

I guess I picked a good time to have started building my CSM chaos cult army

[@SouthWestBadger]

The GW Sales Team are doing an awesome job this December. I now want to buy Admech. 😂

[@stephenball-qo7ug]

CK have 2 very good strats, UNRESTRAINED RAGE fall back shoot, charge. advance and charge. SOUL HUNGER D3 wounds back or D3+2 if battle shocked.

[@dovahfett5919]

I kinda want to scoop up some chaos knights, maybe even an extra box of cultists

[@stevenhuteson7400]

You can shoot into combat that cultists are engaged in for a CP and risk killing your own models.... or you can just fall back with the cultist unit for free.... I'm confused.

[@joncarr5545]

Correction: the aura titanic knights project to reroll 1’s on damned is 9” not 6”. Michael said 6”

[@mikhailivanov9570]

Also it means you can ignore pivot rule?

[@chaoticrevenge7950]

Reslly really cool detatchment

[@hahaha1171]

I wish they'd let us use jakhals too.

[@creolekolbytv]

Chaos knights is my very grotmas attachment so far

[@hahaha1171]

So they expect me to pay hundreds of dollars worth of a faction i'm not interested in just to make one detachment viable. They are going in the wrong direction. My main army is chaosknights, i have no interest in this at all. Yeah on paper this detachment is ok. But is it's worth spending hundreds of dollars on? The answer is no, i speak for most Chaosknight players, if they don't change our rules in the codex we're dead. They have no idea what they're doing with his army.

[@antonionotmyrealnamo6333]

They're going to try to make you spend more/new money all the time. I dislike this and wish they could make the 'core' units work instead but this is the reality. From an aesthetic point of view however, this makes a lot of sense. You'd have a rabble of techs (forgot the lore name for these guys) with you on campaign as well as your 'household guard' type guys (when you're a bloodthirsty and warp-infused tyrant of an iconoclast house you don't sleep easy unless you never leave your cockpit).

[@twinkazz]

You don’t speak for squat. Chaos knights players want chattel

[@Damnedlegion40k]

Add a comment...😢 Buying a codex for about 5 units and no +4 shield's, it's meh 😢

[@otisred7848]

Come on guys let's be honest the detachment is trash and we all know it. The knights are going to out pace the chaf in a turn and then they are not going to be able to access the bonuses. This is not going to be competitive.

[@irishbob81]

Nobody complains like 40k fans I swear

[@eddieg82]

Losing two very important strat in the chaos knights list, Knights of Shade and Rotate shields for a bunch of cultist. Nah. It flavorful but not as competitive as the index.

[@jeremiegartner464]

Do not sleep on traiter guard for this. Lethals, rerolls and oc2. Firebrand on scout cultists giving BS

[@memnonofrhodes3120]

I am a knight player and this detachment is just a rip off of CSM that forces knight players to buy 100 cultist models to even play it… this was geared for the CSM players and it is a pitiful.

[@Paradoxed25]

The single most common complaint Knights players have mentioned is the lack of small model units they can bring alongside of their titans. This detachment answers that problem. Maybe its not what you were hoping for, but this complaint is just dumb.

[@lassemelson5668]

@@Paradoxed25 as part of your army not allied in, besides that Karnivores wont benefit since they outrun their small dudes, then again they wont go through walls
