Chaos Knight lady pilot by Blazbaros on twitter

Knight Rampager painted in Black Legion colours.

Still need to add details, but he's "battle ready"!

I hope Lord Abaddon is pleased to hear a knight rampager has joined the Black Legion.

This was a really fun project (that I could probably waste more hours into but more chaos marines are waiting for paint). I did some dry-brushing with make-up brushes and the steel and it worked wonders! Really pleased with that.

The little free-hands came out quite well too so that's always a win lol, too bad some of the stencils failed but I can't win them all I guess

But yeah I hope games workshop get tricked by tzeentch to make another chaos knight (hopefully with a pilot that's fused in the cabin and some more weapon options would be fucking great....) cause then I'm definitely buying another chonky boy.

Yes, it’s all very grim and dark but I can’t help but imagine King Arthur’s encounter with the Black Knight.

Been a bit I'll so progress on the tank has been slow, here's another knight I'm working on though. Bringing the big guns!

💗- A memory about a good deed they did

The White Room

Beneath the broken donjon of the Witch-Knights of Caembion, Jenetia Krole stalked abandoned hallways in search. Far below, she could sense the faintest trace of something disturbingly familiar.  On a level buried so deep that it did not appear on the schematics, and accessible only with the Magister-Baron’s personal override cipher, the Knight-Commander came at last to a door. It was made of unmarked white metal, utterly unlike any other she had encountered in the keep. The doorway, too, was devoid of the twisting sigils otherwise ubiquitous in dedicating the transitive quality of a threshold to the dark patron of House Caembion. Krole reached out to touch it, feeling a strange reverberation in the metal even through her gauntlet. It was not physical, but ethereal, echoing in the space where her soul should have sat. It brought a sense of vertigo, and Krole withdrew her hand.  Bracing herself, she keyed in the override cipher and the door fell away into the ground. Beyond was a small room of the same white metal with an identical door, forming an airlock. Krole had to re-enter the cipher twice to convince the security system to open the second door while the first remained open.  Raising her blade into a guard stance, Krole advanced slowly. Passing through the portal, the white metal flared out to form a cell that was ostensibly hemispherical, but was revealed by unnatural senses to form a sphere beneath the false floor of pale stone. At the centre was a cot, a desk heaped with a pile of well-thumbed books, and a girl with a look more of curiosity than fear as she beheld the armoured knight enter with blade bared.  “Who are you?” she asked.  Krole raised her eyebrow and pointed at the girl, reflecting the question. There was an unmistakable resemblance to the Magister-Baron she had carved out of his burning throne after his accursed Knight-engine had been laid low.  The girl shrugged. “No-one, really. You can call me Sione, if you like.” Most humans struggled to look Krole in the eye, but Sione met the Witchbane’s gaze without a hint of discomfort. Another effect of the strange alloy lining the walls, perhaps. “Did my father send you?” she asked, nodding at the greatblade angled at her heart.  After a moment’s pause, Krole lowered her blade. The girl was a pariah, that much was clear from the nature of the room. Sione ought to be shipped to the nearest Tithe node for processing, but it occurred to Krole that, if there was a surviving Knight and a Throne Mechanicum that would have her, there might be another future for her.  The Knight-Commander stowed the Sword of Oblivion over her shoulder, reaching out one hand to the last scion of House Caembion and gesturing to the doorway with the other. A Proloquor was needed to explain to Sione that her father was dead, and she was free.

Vendetta

In the great engine wars of the Knightly Houses, oil runs as blood. Metal strikes metal in peals of thunder, casting dazzling sparks the size of men. The great and terrible fury of these demigods of iron is as no other, a seething ancestral hatred shared by these warriors that no mere mortal of flesh and bone could comprehend.

He was there, you know. He was there when the House split in twain, for the Warmaster and the Emperor both. His is a dying breed - Mortifex Malefica was the last to fall, and the impostor that now wears his iron skin is a pale imitation of the great Knight’s former glory. Only he remains, in all his dark majesty. Only he remembers.

She does not know how many came before her, between now and the Great Reaving - so many have passed into the Throne Mechanicum that their voices simply flow together, each carrying their millennia-long grudge to the next in line. She knows full well what the crimson and bronze monstrosity in front of her represents, and her Knight’s burning heart rumbles in hateful sympathy.

No words could convey this mutual loathing, and none are needed. Both know that only one warrior will leave the field this day, and the other’s lineage will end in the dirt of this planet, their legacy naught but dust on the wind. Honour demands nothing less.

As is customary, the Dawnstar offers its salute - raising its weapons on high and clashing them together. The Corpus Belicosa, as if remembering something that it once was, returns this fleeting gesture in kind. For a moment, one could almost imagine what the warrior had once stood for, an echo of a long-lost age of honour and chivalry, before becoming the monster it was today.

It is not a moment that lasts.

Metal strikes metal, and oil runs as blood...

For some ancient rivals, the covenant of hatred runs thicker than either blood or water. Carrying a vendetta nine thousand years in the making, Annabeth Weiss is the latest Scion to pilot the legendary Dawnstar, one of the last surviving Knights of the original founders of her House. In opposition, Corpus Belicosa - a dread war engine so ancient that the pilot and machine have long ceased to be separate entities, the last remaining traitor from the House's fratricidal split in the dark days of the Horus Heresy. Theirs is a hatred forged in centuries of war across generations of Knights, born of ceaseless nuclear hearts shackled in steel, and when their reckoning finally comes it shall end as all things must end - in iron and blood.

In celebration of the new Questor Imperialis updates, Dawnstar and Corpus Belicosa have received some much needed TLC! These include improved bases and weathering, extra touches of crimson on Belicosa's weapons, and Dawnstar's banner finally being an actual banner rather than a white rectangle!

The local chaos legion was at it again, sending their knight out on recon runs. Little did they know that a yet to be named knight from the Death Eagles legion was out and about. Angry that he hadn’t yet been named, he needed something to take his frustration out on.

“I see you think you’re welcome here!” he bellowed as he emerged from cover, clomping heavily towards the renegade.

She fired her cannon at him, missing mostly except for a couple shots. One of those got absorbed by the shield, though one got through and did a little damage.

Firing back and forth with their weapons, the nameless knight and his thermal cannon against the renegades rapid fire battle cannon, both of them having the rocket pod, 

The nameless knight charged in swinging his thunderstrike gauntlet. Though the renegade had the same weapon, fate favored the death eagles knight and after a few blows were exchanged the renegade fell.

All the Flavours of Chaos! Questor Traitoris

I am not really going to review this unit, it is an imperial knight with the Chaos Keyword. Still pretty cool though.

Taking a peek in the book.

I am sure some of you have seen the new Knight’s codex buy now. I mean it is 2am where I am which means it is early Staturday morning in the UK some of you might even have it by now.

I am really tired of all the books being Imperial-centric. I am not saying that you need to write a new codex but certain books need some mention of the Chaos side of the universe.

Guard Units defect, the Dark Mechanicum is a thing, and Questor Traitoris exist.

In fact GW is selling a box called Renegade Knight right now where you are playing as a traitor knight The Litany of Destruction.

So why would you not include a paragraph that says something along the lines of what they did with the Chaos Space Marine codex and say “we are not including rules for Death Guard or Thousand Sons traitor legions as they will receive comprehensive codexes that describe their unique legion make up in the near future” and then say that until those codexes are released here is how you can field an corrupted Imperial Knight in a traitor army.

All it needs is a couple lines be it either replace Questor Imp/Mech with Questor God/undivided or like explain how to take it as single freeblade using the Lord of War detachment. I mean yes it is in the Big rule book but part of the fact that every space marine codex includes the rules for Primaris Intercessors is so that you don’t need to carry every book every where you go just to clarify a rule that might apply to that army more then any other army.

I mean if you are making an army that is entirely Lords of War remind people how to use lords of war.

If you had an army where every unit was a flyer, not flying but a flyer I would expect the same thing.

I mean would have been nice to include one page that said Imperial Knights can be fielded as one of two detachments.

Super-Heavy Detachment:  Three to five Lords of War, Restrictions: All units must be the same faction, Command Benefits: +3 command points.

Super-Heavy Auxiliary Detachment: 1 Lord of War, Restrictions: None. Command Benefits: None.

The Might of the Knightly Worlds page already says Imperial Knight detachments (excluding Super-Heavy Auxilliary detachments) gain the following abilities. But since there are only two Imperial Knight Detachment options just say what they entail.

Look I don’t want to sound like I am complaining because I want them to include everything in one codex so I don’t have to buy another codex. 

I want a Traitor Knight codex either just Chaos or both Chaos and Renegade just so I can have stuff like a Knight Pilot that ascended to Daemon Prince and has merged with his Knight or a Slaaneshi Knight that uses giant sonic weapons like an over sized noise marine.

I like codexes I like lots of lore I personally wish they had made the CSM codex only Black Legion and Astral Claws so that each god got a codex not just Nurgle and Tzeentch. I want to see a codex devoted to the Iron Warriors with rules for taking Mulilators and Obliterators as troops and loads of demon engines, I don’t always want to buy them but I want to see a Chaos book for every Imperial book as why should the Angels of Death and the Space Wolves get books if the Night Lords and the Word Bearers won’t. 

What I don’t want to do is slap down $200 for a giant awesome model and then never be able to use it as even though there is lore for Chaos Knights and Looted Baneblades the rules don’t support them.

💬 + you made up the webway thing to draw attention away from some questor traitoris/chaos knights.

"....Chaos What now? Since when does Chaos have knights??? WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME ABOUT THAT"

Absinthe rushes off to get herself a Knight. What have you done Anon

My last War Dog! Just a Rampager & an Abombinant left before all my Knights are painted. Hell yeah.

It looks like the new Chaos Knight kit isn’t just a spiked up version of the loyalist kit, but makes a number of structural changes. Still, though, if you’re going to run a renegade household you should probably grab one of the Forge World ones while it’s still available.

More work on my chaos Dow knight, got the pose down now it's just a long ole road of green stuff to go...
