Rampager or Despoiler?

[Chaplain Killmer]

Hallo,

 

during covid I had time to build and paint the Chaos Knight Army Box.

 

With it i build:

 

1 Knight Abominant

2 War Dog Brigands

 

a few weeks ago I won an auction of

 

2 War Dog Executioners

 

and last week another one containing

 

1 Knight with Reaper chainsword and Warpstrike claw

1 Knight Tyrant

 

so, what type should the melee knight be Rampager or Despoiler?

There is strictly no advantage I can see into using the Despoiler as a melee knight.

 

Rampager have more attacks and impact for melee in all aspects. With these extra attacks + Sustained hit on Rampager in charge you are IMHO more than compensating the rerolls of the Despoiler.

If it isn't already built, you could also field it as a Desacrator as you'll have the left over gun (and claw) from the Abominant kit, which includes the parts for all three of the "chaos only" abhorrent kits.  I would also advise magnetizing so as to be able to swap between the types, but also understand that's not for everyone.

Depending on the state those knights are in that would be a good advice Dr.and Bouargh that was very helpful.

The miniatures arrived now. The models are nicely build with adjustable arms but no magnets. So i guess its the rampager and the tyrant. the whole action will bounce my "army" to close to 2k points.
