Chaos Knights

Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Knights Game News, Reviews, Editorials & Unboxings.

The Chaos Knights are a faction from UK-Based Games Workshop's Tabletop Wargame Warhammer 40,000. Chaos Knights, also known as Daemon Knights, Renegade Knights or Questor Traitoris, are Knights and their Households that have been corrupted by the powers of Chaos, the Primordial Annihilator.

Since the Horus Heresy, thousands of individual Knights and even entire Knight Houses have been corrupted by Chaos and betrayed the Imperium. The first Renegade Knights appeared during the Horus Heresy, when many of the Knightly households sided with Warmaster Horus. However since the Heresy, many more Knights have betrayed the Imperium. Some were corrupted after their worlds were swallowed by Warp Storms while others were slowly driven mad by the endless carnage they witnessed and inflicted on countless campaigns.

Each Chaos Knight is twisted reflections of the Imperial Knights. Where once the massive robotic warmachine suit and its pilot were a gleaming beacon, the Chaos Knight and its Fallen Noble comprise a symbiotic beast of wrath and hate. Chaos Knights are either sole traitors classified by the Imperium as Dreadblades, or part of a greater Household that has turned its back on the Imperium.

Fallen Chaos Knight Nobles embark on campaigns for many reasons. Some do so to conquer territory in the name of the Ruinous Powers. Others have sworn fealty to the Dark Mechanicum, Chaos Space Marines, or powerful daemonic entities, and answer the dread summons of war whenever they are called upon. Still others are driven by insanity.
