Tremble servants of the corpse god, Chaos has some very cool new toys. Come see the newest rules for the Chaos Knight & Walking Kytan Lord of Skulls.
These are truly the end days as mighty amalgams of the Daemon and adamantium stride to war!
Chaos Knight
The forthcoming Chaos Knight looks to come in the two normal flavors, with the ability to mark it with the normal chaos marks as well.
As far as rules go, nothing super crazy except the fact you can now get a 5+ Invulnerable save from becoming a ‘Daemon’ if you mark your knight (Imperial Armour Apoclaypse 13). The dirge caster is also a good buy if your running an assault type army because it prevents overwatch!
Kytan Lord of Skulls Walker
Now these are the rules you have to see. The new Kytan Daemon engine of Khorne is way better than it’s tracked counterpart the Lord of Skulls.
First off it’s over 300 points cheaper, with a huge bonus in stats over a Knight. It’s still a daemon so it gets at 5+ Invulnerable all the time, plus you can use it in a Daemonkin, Chaos Space Marines and Daemon army lists.
Perhaps best of all is new ‘Unstoppable Slaughter’ rule that let’s this might war machine assault enemies it did not shoot at! That a pretty neat rule that I can hardly remember the last time it was seen, perhaps not even this edition at all.
Chaos definitely got some new hope with these new vehicles. It makes me wonder what nastiness Forge World is cooking up book wise for them.
