I’ve been thinking about Chaos Knights for the longest time. Remember the old Subjugator titan Armorcast put out years ago? That thing was cool!
Fast forward to Warhammer Fest last weekend and we got a ton of Chaos Knight rumors, and now there are reports of them being at least mentioned in the new Imperial Armor 13 book from Forge World.
What does it all mean? Well no ones 100% sure of anything, but it really doesn’t seem to hard to make a “Chaos upgrade” kit for the existing Knight models or even give it the Forge World treatment like the Knight Magaera.

Hi there,
Been reading my copy of IA 13, page 117 has this interesting passage when discussing Daemon Engines:
“The class may also include those engines that appear to be debased mock dries of our own glorious and noble Knights: the Hell Knight, Questor, Subjugator, Hell Scourge and Hell Strider.”
Could this be the 1st clue towards a future release of Chaos Knights? via Mr. Mystery on the Bols Lounge
First up, my conversation with Darren Parwood, who is responsible for the current FW Knight stuff. I asked him outright ‘are we going to see Chaos Knights/conversion kits?’. His initial answer? ‘I’m not really allowed to talk about that’…which is sort of a yes, reading between the lines, on account it’s not a no. Conversation developed, and he explained that background wise, they felt a little boxed into a corner, as the Knights are presented, via the Throne Mechanicum as all Goody Two Shows and stuff. Finished up with ‘Never say Never’. So far, so not terribly clear. Hopeful yes. But not certain. Later conversation? Yeah Mr Parwood is Mr Mechanicum, and will be doing Dark Mechanicum, and may have mentioned weapon heads for Titans and Knights in that same convo….. Now. Onto more tangible stuff. IA 13 has, for the first time in modern 40k, referred to Renegade Daemon Knights. Questor, Subdjucator, Hell Strider etc. Right there in Black and White, with the Inquisitor off to speak to the Relictors to find out more…. This is the same book which mentions predecessors to the Contemptor Dread – potentially significant on account the Seminars promise a new Dreadnought for the Heresy….
