Goreshed Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Alright so we have two new sexy as warp models coming our way. Here and Here On top of a brand new codex which promises to be deadlier than ever. Anyone else pumped for this? I know CSM is slated to be following closely behind it but I cant help but feel pumped for these two new models and a brand new dex.

Valkia the Bloody Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I am actually pretty excited for this. I think they look awesome and would make great additions to my Chaos army. I am very tempted to get the army box.

Slave to Darkness Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I do like the little ones. If I get the larger one I dont think Ill use all the carrion birds on top, everything else looks good though.

Goreshed Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 Yeah I had the same feeling on the carrion birds as well. Given the nature of the army and just how few models are in it I tend to go further with conversions and making them more individual. However that new knight is supposed to also be a pysker so we shall see what skills they can bring to the table. Would be nice to have at least something for the pysker phase at least.

TheNewman Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I went from "I have one Knight to soup with my Daemons and no interest in anything further" to "I want that launch box" to "oooh, Squats!" to "I want two of that launch box" waaay too fast for my own good.

TheNewman Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Since there's a lot if likes I do have a couple of questions: how close is the Knight Preceptor/Despoiler to the Knight Rampager/Desecrator in size, and can the arms be swapped between those kits? If they're basically the same size I might pick up one of each and build a second Despoiler on the Desecrator frame.

If they're basically the same size I might pick up one of each and build a second Despoiler on the Desecrator frame. They are basically the same size and all parts are interchangable. In fact I switched the Torsi / legs between two sets to get more variation. In the still actual codex the different knights are determined by their weaponry, not the actual model you use. So feel free to build whatever you like to. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/373665-new-renegade-knights/#findComment-5815284 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I could just be more certain that GW isn't above dropping support for the loyalist knight cross-overs once Chaos Knights have three kits to themselves.

Iron Lord Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I thought the new large knight was replacing the old kit - being basically the old kit with a few extra bits - so Chaos Knights will only have two kits not 3.

Prot Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Preordered my box. I’m not going to debate pricing, when it comes to chaos/CSM, I’m all in! my hopes are that this kit won’t limit my builds in any weird way. And I want to be competitive with it, but not find out this is the next meta buster. finally I’m hoping what I have left of my spare knights will help make this a 2k army.

WrathOfTheLion Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I preordered mine as well. I want to find a knight house that fits well enough with Black Legion/Word Bearers, so will be flipping through the codex before building/painting.

Prot Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Yea that's my plan as well, except with Iron Warriors -or- Red Corsairs. The cool thing about Chaos Knights is I find their look can be quite abstract, and unorthodox from unit to unit, whereas the loyalist Knights are fairly themed throughout.

That's certainly helpful that there's a lot of room to work with. I'm interested to explore the more orthodox Knight houses, I'd like to pick one with some decal support.

infyrana Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Kinda like the wardogs too, just not a fan of the birds on top :) How many knights these days make a 2k list then? I picked up two imperial ones ages back but with rule changes etc I never ended up doing much with them - can they be chaos'd, or would I need different weaponry?

It's another layer of the lore. The Imperium is supposed to be this rigid bastion against the tide of death that's always coming for it. Chaos doesn't care so long as things are going...well...Chaos(y). Lore wise the trade off is the lack of greater support in some cases or the change in how one is equipped or how they wage war in general. I absolutely love it and have always loved that aspect of the difference between the Imperium and Chaos as they both have positive and negatives of being the way they are.

Chronotonic Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I am a happy camper that I can add that Renegade Knight to my Chaos Marine list...it always just made sense to me...guess I need to finish my base now...

I want to find a knight house that fits well enough with Black Legion/Word Bearers, so will be flipping through the codex before building/painting. I would also recommend looking at Traitor Houses from the Heresy. There's a ton of them and there's pretty good documentation via both Forge World and Adeptus Titanicus not only of which Astartes and Titan Legios they would have campaigned with but also their color schemes.

I think I'm going to end up doing House Khymere, they've got some nice decal support, yet look like I could justify attaching them with any Chaos force.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Just got mine in the post - I'm looking forward to reading through the codex and building my models.

Goreshed Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 I've got a good idea of what I want to do for color and a background, just waiting for my copy of the box set to come in and start reading that new book!

WrathOfTheLion Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Just got mine in the post - I'm looking forward to reading through the codex and building my models. I've been building mine, although I'm waiting for some 7mm magnets so I can magnetize the carapace of the small knights to the legs. Although if impatient, I might just glue that part. Going to spend some time magnetizing the rest of it this weekend.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Yeah, I'll be magnetizing my weapon options, though I think I have the magnets I need on hand. I will also be kitbashing both the knight and the wardogs, as I have imperial versions that I want to chaosify, and what better way to do so than by using some of the parts from the chaos models. My only current knight is an imperial one that I did some slight modifications and painted to be a renegade (http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356852-the-bringers-of-judgment-dr-ruminahuis-knights/?p=5347819), so the mixed part models should fit right in.

DuskRaider Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I'm actually magnetizing the Armiger weapons. There's so many options now and I want to be able to mix and match.

Seahawk Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Am I going to now take a khorne Knight with 8A base, or 24 if I go a-sweepin? Absolutely. BWRAAAAAAAA!!!
