I Bet We'll See a Chaos Knight Dataslate Before Too Long

[Chris Copeland]

I'm reading the Knight codex. I think it is well written. Chaos will SO be getting a data-slate, I think. Towards the end of the first section of the book the author talks about Knightly Houses that have fallen to Chaos and Imperial Knights that have become Daemon Knights. So, the background is right there... ripe and ready to be harvested...

PS: Does GW not list individual authors anymore? Not that I'd blame them for stopping after the abuse this community has heaped upon some of them... I don't see an author listed for this codex (of course, I'm still getting used to navigating digital books)...

I am sure we will see one as well i think what this new release schedule that we will certianly see unit that GW has had in the warhouse slowly be released to update as well as to fill in and apparently create new units and factions. I know i will be doing atleast 1-2 chaos knights at some point but for right now my primary focus is my 3 warhouds for legion metallica and getting 3 knights to represent house krast

A data slate… or a whole codex.

I dunno, they specifically mention that Chaos Knights are extremely rare (p.15 HH sidebar). Seems kinda weird that they also mention the conservatism of Knight Houses helps protect against Chaos. I wonder why they would go to such lengths?

Daboarder, you Chaos players have some of the best stuff in the game: Helldrakes, Nurgle Demon Princes, Oblits, Plague Marines, Defilers... what are you on about, exactly?

Heldrakes, the things that people hate us for if we take more than one?
Nurgle Daemon Princes that don't get an increase in Toughness?
Oblits that lost a lot of Leadership and now can't fire the same weapon?
Defilers that are just totally useless all around?

Ok, to be fair, Oblits are actually awesome, but the rest of what you got in there is a little irksome.

Hmmm. I guess, as a Tyranid player, I don't have a lot of sympathy. Every one of the above things can be rock-hard if used correctly. The Mark of Nurgle Demon Prince with the Black Mace is damn near unkillable and wipes the floor with anything he fights with. Helldrakes slay everything and they seem to always come in pairs. Seriously, you don't like Defilers?

PS What is wrong with Plague Marines?! They are as hard as nails!

Defilers are walkers, and suffer from everything that walkers suffer from, not to mention it's super expensive points wise.

Plague Marines are great. Fantastic actually. T5, 3+ with FNP, Poison knives, two special weapons in a squad of 5? They're almost too good...

And I've lost friends fielding just ONE Heldrake.

Oh no! Ugh. Sorry to hear that. Some folks take this playing with space-barbies stuff a wee bit too seriously...
