Chaos Knights faction overview
Chaos Knights are the dread households that turned to Chaos in the Age of Darkness — fielding twisted Knight Abominants, Desecrators, Tyrants, War Dogs and Acastus-class super-heavies. Smaller range than Imperial Knights but with bespoke Chaos-aligned kits.
Buying advice for second-hand collectors
Most Chaos Knight kits are dual-build with Imperial Knight kits plus chaos upgrade sprues. The bespoke Knight Abominant kit and War Dog Karnivores are essential for the unique Chaos look. Forge World Acastus Knights are OOP and command premium prices.
Collecting & army-building advice
Dread household identity drives the scheme — Iconoclast vs Infernal lists vary in detachment rules. Most armies field one large Tyrant-class Knight plus 4–6 War Dogs at 2,000 points, with rust, gore and Chaos iconography on every panel.
