The Rumour Engine - 25th March, 2025

WarCom Article.

 

Well, that lines up nicely with the Chaos Knights rumour.

 

 

[Fire Golem]

I was gonna say wasn’t there a Chaos Knight rumour with some kind of grinder weapon? As you say, seems to line up pretty well. 

[CL_Mission]

It will be another quick turn around from rumour engine to reveal if we see Chaos Knights later this week, I wonder if they are running low on them.

[DeadFingers]

I believe a certain individual would say something along the lines of:

I like the little claws on the outside of the grinder. It makes it look just that little more intimidating. It's not even going to hit you and send you spinning off, it's going to hold you there until you are mulch.

Spoiler

 

Chaos Knight, apparently called the Ruinator.

[Jukkiz]

nah, it´s clearly new mutilators

Just mentioning Mutilators made me dry-heave. Here's hoping it's an update for them just so I can get the old ones out of my mind.

Are we talking big Knight or little Knight? Because more big Knights (and reasons to play them as Chaos) is what I would love to see.

[ZeroWolf]

Seems like a clear cut case with this one

Proper size from what Valrak's said previously.

Sounds like a slaaneshi night out. Or night in...

They literally have a Volkite-armed Chaos Knight that would have been more appropriate with this name. 
 

There hasn’t t been a reason to play Chaos Knights for at least one edition.

Best reason for anything we do.

[Mechanicus Tech-Support]

The Ruinator? ...really?

I'll just be here waiting for them to release the Burninator piloted by Lord Trogdor

[Joe]

Can't really fault them for using a word that's been around since the mid-1600s - nor one that's appeared elsewhere in the setting.

I think that should be an exclusive Salamanders unit. Trogdor with his Burninator bodyguard. They are like Firedrakes, but hotter.

Their first codex was good - great, even. There was a ton of customization for each Knight to make it its own character. They’ve taken a major step backwards since then for the sake of streamlining and simplicity sake and it’s removed the soul of the army.

None of which changes the fact that they look cool, to be fair.

Very true. I just hope they go back to at least 8th Edition rules design for the next one, I’d love the options back. 

[Naryn]

I'm still waiting for the day they freely allow mixing and matching of weapons on Knight Chassis. Excited to throw this new drill weapon on a Cerastus whether the rules let me do so or not

[Brother Carpenter]

Nah,

 

Just the breacher drill on the new iron clad dread.
