New Chaos Knights Relics, Warlord Traits, Stratagems 40k Codex Rules

New-Chaos-Knights-rules-1Spicy new Chaos Knights Relics, Warlord Traits, and Stratagems rules are here 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

Chaos Knights Army Set

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 Relics, Warlord Traits, Stratagems 40k Codex Rules

chaos knight relics 1These first two relics are hard to read, however, the second one Veil of Medrengard is great! It gives the bearer a 4+ invulvn for ranged attacks and a 6+ invulvn for melee. The first one isn’t too shabby either The Blasphemous Engine‘s big takeaway is that it allows the bearer to count as having double its wounds left when determining its bracket profile to use, allowing it to operate at the top bracket longer.

On the next page, Helm of Dogs looks potentially interesting for a Wardog spam list being able to just re-roll a ton of wound rolls. Twisted Mask is of course also good getting extra psychic power and a +1 to tests.

New Chaos Knights Warlord Traits 40k Codex Rules

For the Warlord Traits, Infernal Quest simply gives the warlord Objective Secured, which is decent if you arent playing soup. Warp-Haunted Hull is also another decent option giving the army access to a deny the witch and a 5+ FNP in the psychic phase, which is an ok tool against psyker-heavy factions.

New Chaos Knights Stratagems 40k Codex Rules

For the first page of Knight Stratagems, Skies of Fire is decent but incredibly situational, giving +1 to hit for a Wardog only against aircraft units. Crushed Like Vermin is alright as well as titanic feet was just nerfed, so getting a bonus to it in a pinch might help!

The second page has Abominable Constitution which allows you to have a unit act as if it is at the top bracket for the turn rotation, costing only 1 CP for Wardogs. Doom and Despair is also a great option being able to force a Harbinger ability for a turn, which offers some bonus flexibility.

The last page has Wrathsurge, which is great for punishing psychic-centric factions being able to force perils on failed tests for only 1 cp! Diabolic Bulwark is also a great option for getting a 4+ invuln against ranged attacks for a turn, especially when you have a single huge model like a tyrant in your list!
