Don’t miss all the new Chaos Knights Dread Households rules for their updated 9th Edition Warhammer 40k codex that are changing how they play…
The internet has struck once again with some big leaks from the upcoming Chaos Knights codex! If you play Chaos Knights these rules are a great way to decide what to build your new army around from the upcoming codex book!
The Imperial Knights codex will arrive separately before the Chaos Knights book. However, you can score the new models and the new Chaos Knights codex in the army box for a limited time!
Chaos Knights Army Set Box
Containing oodles of new pieces to make dozens of configurations, this lavish launch set is the first place you can get hold of the new Chaos Knights kits, their codex, and their datacards. With enough bits to build one psychically potent Knight Abominant and two War Dogs, this is the perfect basis for a rippin’, tearin’, stompin’ new army, or excellent reinforcements for an existing warband of walkers.
On top of the three models, you also get an exclusive version of the Codex and Datacards, making this the first way for players to be able to experience all the new Chaos Knight goodies, including the brand new Knight Abominant.

New Chaos Knights Dread Households 40k Codex Rules
Dread Households are essentially the sub-factions for Chaos Knights meaning when you choose one you can get catered rules for exactly what you what to do! Now let’s check out the options.
In general, Herpetrax Dead Household is about durability. Getting a few extra wounds on your knights is a great bond, plus an AoE Mortal wound bomb on the Stratagem is pretty good at only 1CP!
House Khymere helps to finish off weakened units. Through its bond, this house gets +1 to wound against units below half strength. The Warlord Trait also punishes any units nearby units who fail a dread test and dish out a bonus mortal wound to them.
House Vextrix is a general use option. It has a very powerful bond allowing for 1 hit and 1 wound reroll for each unit with it, each time it shoots. The warlord trait also seems pretty good by giving some extra wounds and packing in d3 healing every friendly command phase.
House Khomentis has a bond all about buffing up Daemonic surge to have greater consistency and less randomness. The Relic also looks pretty good with essentially placing a mark on an enemy within 18″ and giving every ranged attack against that target an extra AP.
House Korvax is that last one and has a great Bond that allows you to activate a Harbinger ability (current or previous) for every model in your army, INCLUDING non-chaos knights! This seems super interesting and might have some big possibilities. The Warlord trait is also pretty decent adding 3″ to Auras and Dread abilities.
