Don’t miss all the new Chaos Knights Wargear, Points, and Secondaries for their updated 9th Edition Warhammer 40k codex.
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 Wargear, Points & Secondaries 40k Codex Rules
Of the first 3 secondaries, Purge the Enemy looks quite good in the Chaos Knights faction simply due to the volume of high range high damage weapons that can be used in a list of Knights specifically, making it easier to wipe out a single model or unit early for more points.
Shadow Operations is the final option and looks quite interesting because it gives objectives -1 leadership to non-chaos units within 6″ something that might be better than it looks because of all the new Dread Abilities that care about enemy morale.
New Chaos Knights Weapon Profile Rules
For the most part, all the weapons that saw use previously probably still will, since there aren’t very many major changes, which is a nice change from recent codexes with sweeping changes and power spikes. The Laser Destructor saw a decent change simplifying the rolls to make it more streamlined.
In an attempt to win over undecided Nobles with fancy ancient technology, the Chaos Knights debut the Desecrator’s updated laser destructor. The Idolators have been hard at work to make this long-range firearm much more reliable than before – and while consistency may not be especially Chaotic, redirecting power from its explosive blast allows the destructor to punch through armour more effectively, dealing eye-watering damage with every shot.
With increased range, more consistent shots, better AP, and improved damage, this will hit harder than ever!
For the Melee side of things, there aren’t very many insane changes, however, the Titanic feet do seem less powerful now in particular. The Chainsword for Knights looks to have gotten much better, as we saw previously in a GW preview.
Given that these chainswords are the size of trees – and a mite more dangerous than even the most well-heeled giant foot – Knights appropriately attired for close-quarters combat earn a solid power boost. What’s more, the reaper chainsword comes with two fresh new looks – for sweeping away hordes of enemy infantry, or striking down a single large target.
This has gotten so much better! With increased AP and obviously the addition of the sweep attack to get three hit rolls for each attack!
New Chaos Knights Points
Overall the points look to be in a good spot for the Chaos Knights, Despoiler, Rampager, and Tyrant all both went down some points. The Huntsman Wardog went up a few points, while the Executioner is unchanged and the others are new options.
The Abominant is the only new model and looks fairly costed, but getting access to psychic powers might be a huge positive for Chaos Knight lists.
