Datasheet-related Stratagems
Reaching out with their mind and activating a xeno-tech interception array built into their Knights sensorium, the Fallen Noble is bombarded with a flurry of information that allows them to predict the movements of even the most elusive foe.
The Iconoclast Knights employ their sheer weight and mass to unleash a devastating headlong charge.
Battle-hungry War Dogs wade into the foe, enmity and malice powering their crushing blows against anything within reach.
Like predators chasing down their prey, War Dog pilots encircle their victims then attack in a ferocious mass.
The War Dog pilot beseeches the Dark Gods for guidance, intoning hateful oaths as they open fire upon their airborne enemies.
Those Fallen Nobles blessed by Slaanesh delight in inflicting agonies. The more enemies that crowd around their Knight suit, the greater an ecstasy of butchery the Fallen Noble is driven into as they seek to bestow pain upon all.
War Dogs are desperate to vent their pent up wrath. When their prey is sighted, this often leads them to unleash a punishing torrent of fire.
Whatever real or perceived persecution drove these Knights into heresy, and whatever hardships they have suffered since, they hold the Imperium accountable for all.
When Chaos Knights march to war, they leave only broken bodies and twisted wreckage in their wake.
The pilots of Chaos Knights are bitter and twisted souls whose hearts are filled with rage. They refuse to yield whilst foes still remain to be slain by their blades or crushed beneath their heels.
Sensing their end drawing near, the Fallen Noble overloads the internal generators of their Knight suit, hoping to take their enemy with them into oblivion.
Where the Chaos Knights march, doom and despair follow. Calling upon the malign power of the warp, the leader of such a host can cause the darkness to descend and drown their foes in madness.
The fecund vitality of the Plague God powers this Knight onward, even though its own diseased hull may be rent and sundered.
The Chaos Knights engage in duels not for honour, but to assert their absolute dominance over the battlefield.
It is said the Gods of Chaos can even grant the boon of life beyond death, though the price for such divine intercession is an eternity of servitude.
Many Chaos Knights who tread the Eightfold Path to Damnation become the chosen champions of the Dark Gods.
There are those dread households that are especially rich in ancient and warp-tainted techno-arcana and thus are able to arm their heretical scions accordingly.
A Tyrannical Court comprises the most hateful and indomitable of Fallen Nobles, feared in equal measure by both their enemies and their allies.
The lords of the dread households are the epitome of tyranny. The mightiest of their kind are despots who have crushed worlds beneath their heels.
With a barked command, the War Dogs of the dread household move to outflank and encircle their prey.
The War Dogs of the dread household heed their masters well, for they know all too well the price of disobedience or disloyalty.
Loosed upon the enemy in a savage pack, the War Dogs strive to race one another to the choicest prey.
Spitting hateful oaths, this Khorne-worshipping Knight invokes the Blood Gods vengeance upon those who wield sorcery.
War Dogs fight with agility and cunning, giving ground only to surge in on the attack from another angle.
Even as they butcher their luckless foes, the Chaos Knights drink deep of their shed blood and soul-stuff, and their mighty forms are reinvigorated.
Like dark phantoms, the Knights of House Korvax can move through solid walls without hindrance.
The Fallen Nobles of House Khomentis send their faster vassals to circle behind the enemy and drive them onto their master’s guns.
House Khymeres Fallen Nobles have adapted their towering steeds to store excess heat in specialised combustion chambers as they charge into battle, before unleashing it from every vent as a roiling wave of flame - incinerating all who are caught in the blast.
To stay too long in the presence of the Knights of House Herpetrax is to invite an agonising death.
Ectoplasmic blood surges hot through glowing conduits as the Chaos Knight feeds power to its shield emitters.
Drawing upon the power of its secondary plasma core, the Knight Tyrant casts a pall of crackling energy over its War Dog minions.
Tzeentch gives strange boons to his worshippers. Some Fallen Nobles find the barrels of their Knight suits’ weapons dancing with balefire and their ammunition imbued with howling cacodaemons, eager to spread fear and death by tearing into the enemy.
Favour of the Dark Gods
Blood Shield
Wrought from the carapaces of slain Knights and embossed with the skulls of their pilots, the Blood Shield pulsates like a throbbing heart. When activated, psychic barriers are silenced and force fields blink out of existence, opening a window of opportunity for unbridled carnage to erupt.
- This model gains the KHORNE keyword.
- Once per battle, at the start of a Fight phase, the bearer can activate the Blood Shield. When it does, until the end of that phase:
- Each time a melee attack is made by the bearer, invulnerable saving throws cannot be made against that attack.
- Each time a melee attack is made against the bearer, invulnerable saving throws cannot be made against that attack.
- If this model is a KNIGHT ABOMINANT, it loses the PSYKER keyword and cannot manifest psychic powers etc., but its Weapon Skill characteristic is improved by 1 and its Attacks characteristic is increased by 1.
Collar of Infernal Brass
Forged in the molten core of a Khornate daemon world and inscribed with runes of nullification upon a thundersmote anvil of thrice-cursed noctilith, this collar wards away even the most potent warpcraft.
- This model gains the KHORNE keyword.
- This model has the following ability: ‘Collar of Infernal Brass (Aura): Whilst an enemy PSYKER unit is within 12" of the bearer, subtract 2 from Psychic tests taken for that unit.’
- If this model is a KNIGHT ABOMINANT, it loses the PSYKER keyword and cannot manifest psychic powers etc., but its Weapon Skill characteristic is improved by 1 and its Attacks characteristic is increased by 1.
Throne Mechanicum of Skulls
This brazen Throne is inlaid with the carved bones of slain champions and decorated with the skulls of former pilots. Through it an all consuming need for murder grips the pilot and never lets go.
- This model gains the KHORNE keyword.
- You can re-roll charge rolls made for this model.
- If this model is a KNIGHT ABOMINANT, it loses the PSYKER keyword and cannot manifest psychic powers etc., but its Weapon Skill characteristic is improved by 1 and its Attacks characteristic is increased by 1.
Pyrothrone
This Throne Mechanicum burns with spectral flames out of which whisper the tormented gheists of nine-hundred and ninety-nine sacrificed Tzeentchian magisters. A pilot who sits upon this Throne finds their mind filled with their accumulated malefic lore, and so are able to manipulate the warp, summoning pillars of coruscating fire to immolate their enemies or rebuffing psychic conjurations levelled against them.
- This model gains the TZEENTCH keyword.
- If this model is not a KNIGHT ABOMINANT, it gains the PSYKER keyword; it can attempt to manifest one psychic power in your Psychic phase and attempt to deny one psychic power in your opponent’s Psychic phase. This model knows Smite and one power from the Warp Storm discipline.
- If this model is a KNIGHT ABOMINANT, it knows one additional psychic power from the Warp Storm discipline and it can attempt to manifest one additional psychic power in each of your Psychic phases.
Cursed Rune of Fate
A Tzeentchian rune of sorcerous power shimmers across the surface of this Knights hull, ever-moving like a reflection across rippling water. Bound to the strands of fate, the rune pulses as enemies fire upon its host Knight, twisting the web of causality so that hideous and immediate misfortunes befall the attackers - from weapon malfunctions and deadly ricochets to ghastly sorcerous mutations.
- This model gains the TZEENTCH keyword.
- Each time a ranged attack is made against the bearer, on an unmodified saving throw of 6, the attacking model’s unit suffers 1 mortal wound after all of the unit’s attacks have been resolved (to a maximum of 6 mortal wounds).
Mirror of Fates
The interior of this Knights cockpit is coated in a polished crystal skein so that the pilot sits enthroned within an all-encompassing scrying glass. The Mirror of Fates reveals that which will happen and that which may. Proliferating possibilities dance across its surface in a mind-bending kaleidoscope that allows the pilot to predict their enemy’s plans and exploit them.
- This model gains the TZEENTCH keyword.
- While this model is on the battlefield, each time your opponent spends a Command point to use a Stratagem, you can roll one D6: on a 5+, you gain 1 Command point.
The Putrid Carapace
Resembling the stinking skin of spoiled foodstuffs long gone rancid, this repugnant and semi-sentient membrane stretches itself across the iron hide of a Nurgle-blessed Knight suit. At its touch, slablike armour thickens with layers of rust and blubber. Servo-motors and actuator bundles are reinforced with rotted tendon and seeping muscle, while fat buboes swell around vital systems to shield them from harm.
- This model gains the NURGLE keyword.
- Each time an attack with a Damage characteristic of 1 is allocated to this model, add 1 to any armour saving throw taken against that attack.
Blessing of a Thousand Poxes
Though they appear rusted and pocked, this Knights weapons drip with such virulent plague-slop that they need only graze their targets in order to inundate them with withering agues, viral corrosions, pustulant poxes and gnawing parasites beyond count.
- This model gains the NURGLE keyword.
- Each time this model makes a melee attack, an unmodified hit roll of 6 automatically wounds the target.
Aura of Corruption
The rusted exhausts of this Knight belch clouds of toxic fumes, thick with whirling plague spores and fat-bodied daemon flies. These stinking emissions gather about the Knight in such profusion that they form a miasmal shroud that moves with the war engine wherever it strides. Those engulfed in this toxic fog find their flesh breaking out in sores and pustules, their lungs clogging with foul mucus even as armour and weapons corrode and fall apart.
- This model gains the NURGLE keyword.
- This model has the following ability: ‘Corruption of the Body (Aura): Whilst an enemy unit is within 6" of this model, subtract 1 from the Strength characteristic of models in that unit.’
Quicksilver Throne
This semi-organic Throne Mechanicum invades its pilot’s nervous system with hair-thin cilia, binding their senses to the haptic feedback circuitry of the Knight itself. The pilot is able to move their Knight suit as though it were their own living flesh, at the price of feeling the blissful agony of every blast and blade to strike its hull.
- This model gains the SLAANESH keyword.
- This model is eligible to perform Heroic Interventions as if it were a CHARACTER.
- At the start of the Fight phase, if this model is within Engagement Range of any enemy units, it can fight first that phase.
Beguiling Majesty
About this Knight hangs an intoxicating aura, as though the Dark Prince himself had infested it with a sliver of his own nightmarish beauty. Those who look too long upon the war engine must be strong-willed indeed, lest their minds and souls be captured by its ineffable allure.
- This model gains the SLAANESH keyword.
- Each time a melee attack is made against this model, subtract 1 from that attack’s hit roll and subtract 1 from that attack’s wound roll.
Subjugator Machine Spirit
Agile and deadly, Subjugator Titans are Slaaneshi god machines far more powerful than the greatest Knight. Nonetheless, the sundered machine spirit of just such an engine has been bound within this Knight suit, and now strains at the overloaded senses of pilot and steed until both are ready to burst asunder. Only by satisfying the Subjugators constant desire for savage combat are they able to stave off this grisly fate.
- This model gains the SLAANESH keyword.
- In your Movement phase, each time this model Advances or Falls back, until the end of your Shooting phase, it counts as having Remained Stationary.
Mark of the Dread Knight
This fell rune was said to have branded the first Knight to cast off their oaths of fealty to the Imperium and follow the Eightfold Path to Damnation. A Knight that bears this cursed rune upon its hull enjoys a measure of infernal protection from the pantheon as it inflicts destruction in their names.
- This model gains the PANTHEON UNDIVIDED keyword.
- Each time this model would lose a wound, roll one D6: on a 6, that wound is not lost.
Blessing of the Dark Master
The pilot of this Knight gives worship to a daemonic demigod that embodies the manifold might of the Octed. They and their mechanical steed are blessed in return with a modicum of their dark masters power, which manifests about them as an obfuscating cowl of shadows.
- This model gains the PANTHEON UNDIVIDED keyword.
- Each time an attack is made against this model, your opponent cannot re-roll the hit roll, cannot re-roll the wound roll and cannot re-roll the damage roll.
Warp-borne Stalker
Daemonic whispers guide this Knights pilot along secret paths through the etheric tempests and accursed daemon worlds of the empyrean. In this way, it is able to burst through coruscating tears in the fabric of realspace and straight into battle.
- This model gains the PANTHEON UNDIVIDED keyword.
- During deployment, you can set up this model in the warp instead of setting it up on the battlefield (if this model is a WAR DOG-CLASS model, any other models in its unit are set up as if they were a separate unit). If you do so, then during the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases, you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models.
This datasheet has Lords of War Battlefield Role. Full list of Chaos Knights units sharing same Battlefield Role follows:
| ||||||||||||||
If the result of the wound roll is less than the required number, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. An unmodified wound roll of 6 always successfully wounds the target, and an unmodified wound roll of 1 always fails. A wound roll can never be modified by more than -1 or +1. This means that if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a wound roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be -2 or worse, it is changed to be -1. Similarly, if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a wound roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be +2 or better, it is changed to be +1.
If an attack inflicts mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, resolve the normal damage first. If an attack inflicts mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, but the normal damage is subsequently saved, the target unit still suffers the mortal wounds, as described before. If an ability modifies the damage inflicted by a weapon, and that weapon can inflict mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, the modifier does not apply to any mortal wounds that are inflicted (unless the rule specifically states otherwise).
- Each mortal wound inflicted on a unit causes one model in the unit to lose one wound.
- No saving throws can be made against mortal wounds.
- Mortal wounds inflicted by attacks in addition to normal damage always apply, even if normal damage saved.
When an INFANTRY model shoots a Heavy weapon, subtract 1 from the hit rolls when resolving that weapon’s attacks if the firing model’s unit has moved for any reason this turn (e.g. it made a Normal Move this turn).
- Subtract 1 from hit rolls if firing model is INFANTRY and its unit has moved this turn.

The UNALIGNED keyword is used in the following datasheets:
Where Chaos Knights tread, the skies grow unnaturally dark and the dread of the warp permeates the battlefield. None are immune to its shadowy touch, for those it does not paralyse with fear and despair are wracked with hallucinations and driven mad.
If every unit from your army has the CHAOS KNIGHTS keyword (excluding units with the UNALIGNED or AGENT OF CHAOS keywords), then this unit gains a bonus (see below) depending on which Harbinger abilities are active for your army.

Note that when making a selection:- During the first and fifth battle rounds, you must select the Doom ability.
- You can only select the Despair ability if you selected the Despair or Doom ability in the previous battle round.
- You can only select the Darkness ability if you selected the Darkness or Doom ability in the previous battle round.
Once you have selected a Harbinger ability, it becomes active for the remainder of the battle and applies to all units in your army with this ability. Some rules can make additional Harbinger abilities become active for one or more units during the battle. Duplicated active Harbinger abilities on the same unit have no additional effect.

If an attack is made with a weapon that has an ability that says it ‘automatically hits the target’, no hit roll is made – that attack simply scores one hit on the target unit. An unmodified hit roll of 6 always scores a hit, and an unmodified hit roll of 1 always fails. A hit roll can never be modified by more than -1 or +1. This means that if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a hit roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be -2 or worse, it is changed to be -1.

So long as the Psychic test was successful and the psychic power was not denied by a successful Deny the Witch test, the psychic power is successfully manifested and its effects, which will be described in the power itself, are then resolved. If the PSYKER unit can attempt to manifest more than one psychic power in its Psychic phase, you can then attempt to manifest those, one at a time, as described above. The number of psychic powers each PSYKER unit can attempt to manifest in its Psychic phase is listed on its datasheet.
- Select psychic power.
- You cannot select the same psychic power more than once per battle round, unless that power is Smite.

- Can be shot even if firing model’s unit Advanced.
- Subtract 1 from hit rolls if the firing model’s unit Advanced.
War Dogs typically hunt in loose packs, coursing their prey towards their masters before bounding forward on bloodletting whims of their own.
