Goatboy right here and I performed Lone Star Open with my new & imrpoved Chaos Knights just a few weeks in the past. Here’s what I realized.
I nearly modified my listing up however the occasion had lists locked. I didn’t wish to get a yellow card. But I undoubtedly assume some modifications may have been executed to replace it and hopefully shore up among the match ups.
Tuning & Tweaking Chaos Knights
First I don’t wish to add Abaddon irrespective of how superior he’s with Chaos Knights. I don’t actually wish to paint one up and whereas it’s cool he works – it nonetheless doesn’t really feel proper in my thoughts to have him main my Knights round. I at all times really feel like I wish to win with the principle military I’m enjoying with and don’t wish to get all – Agents of Chaos like – irrespective of how good it’s (Shout out to Kevin for operating the dangerous man who was painted very properly). This leads me into different instructions to determine what nonsense I wish to run.
Not fairly…
First of all – nonetheless don’t just like the Abominant. I’ve a properly painted one however really feel he simply doesn’t match within the present atmosphere. He works properly as an Iconoclast as he positive factors that further wanted AP. But in my Infernal choices I might slightly go along with one thing that hits more durable – if I run a giant Knight. Last time I ran a Rampager. While hilarious in loads of video games he simply wasn’t almost pretty much as good as I might need him to be. This leads me into a unique path, again to the Desacrator. I feel his gun kinda sucks however in Vextrix he’s higher. A free Reroll to hit and one to wound means these 2 to three photographs (Relic) truly imply one thing. Add up the hits on a 2+ in shut fight blended with a enjoyable reroll Aura and also you might need one thing.
Woof Woof War Dogs
I do agree the higher military is all War Dogs however in case you are bringing the Dawgs out you want a cool as heck chief to guide them round. This the large fats Knight I amp up with a ton of dumb warlord traits, the teleport mark, and doubtless the relic gun. I just like the Teleport every recreation and the one time I used to be left wanting was when he wasn’t on the desk to generate a CP. It has me considering I have to Warlord a Wardog – however that simply doesn’t really feel proper. I additionally get nothing to double Warlord Trait him up so screw it and screw good aggressive concepts!
Alright sufficient chatter let’s go to the listing.

Running the New & Improved Chaos Knight Dawgs
This is a fairly easy listing that tries to only shoot extra with just a few assault methods. The Karnivore is ready as much as transfer sooner, hit more durable, and simply be a ache within the butt. I hope to have it hit a unit fast, get Favour, after which hit one thing else larger with all its assaults. The Brigands have been proven to me to be a heck of rather a lot higher. I might run the outdated shut fight variants. But the additional “bonus” firepower from the Chain cannons actually assist in the Eldar match up. They don’t like random bullets being thrown of their path. Especially when you give different models the exploding 6’s Strat to assist issues out.
The Desecrator is probably the most finish alternative however it may do some work. It is ready up just like the bowling ball Rampager simply with a greater probability to pop one thing large with its tremendous laser gun that usually does jack. It additionally prices the identical with 1 much less assault. But it does let me deep strike it in a manner that’s much less needing the bowling ball to hit and possibly it comes, sits on an goal and throws out tremendous lasers.
