I love it, never considered Chaos before but that Abominant is making me feel things. Flavorful, customizable, flexible it all sound amazing…
BUT… imagine being on the other side of the board. Just the guy setting down a bunch of chaos knights tells you maybe 50% of what to expect. This is just going to make the, "That was a brilliant tactical plan, but this stratagem on page 78 of my codex says you lose!" Problem even worse.
So, I’m new to the gameplay part of the hobby, and I’m still figuring out some of the rules, but…this codex is kinda broken, right? I’m not just overreacting to Tycho and Mubin’s (sp?) enthusiasm?
That's alot of damage 😢
Supremacy suit was super nerfed. If you could take the 8th Ed suit it would do really well.
When's orks codex coming? 8.5 edition was good but still need that 9th edition.
Thinking about iron warriors with chaos knights
Can I use a Chaos Knight in my Death Guard army? Or are they their own separate thing?
The return of Marks of Chaos in this codex makes me even more excited for the upcoming CSM book. Definitely doing a CK army… once I sell a kidney or two.
I hope these come out soon so I can Orkify them into oblivion
Congrats on the codex preview! You guys have been deserving of it for making this hobby more accessible to players with digestible videos.
I need more Tycho on Chaos saying, to me anyways, his catch phrase "RAMPAGE!" I always hear it ever since his debut with them back in season 2 vs Grey Knights.
LETSSS GOOOOOO!
The codex sucks they have to lie to not piss off their gw slave master,
Just ordered my own chaos knights army set. CAN.NOT.WAIT
This thumbnail is kinda cringe
We Need a New Imperial Knights vs New Chaos Knight 40k in 40M episode stat!!!
These new Codexes… Codexi… Codexs…? Anyways, I feel that all of the new ones that came out have shown in which direction GW wants to go with heavy internal balance, starting with the Tau (they have to sell all of their models somehow), and up the numbers and buffs to make it feel like you're fighting a truly epic battle. My poor Raven Gaurd.
Jind vs Tycho in a future game?
Can't hit unless on a 4+: the Knight was the size of skyscraper and they still couldn't hit it, LOL ;P
Please keep doing these, its such a nice concise way of a TLDR for new Codex. Hits the major points, the ups and downs and really hypes me up to get into CHAOS.
The marks are cool, but some really stand above the rest. Also Tyrants are still awful, but that is less an issue with this book and a problem with the terrain rules of 9th. Tyrants will still die to Pask, or melta spam, or really any anti-tank fired from behind a wall. I'm going to guess the competitive builds for this army will look something like 1-2 of the big, non-tyrant knights and the rest of the list being taken up by wardogs. With the Thermal spear being Heavy 2 and S9 it has a ton of threat in terms of beating up on vehicles, or even just melting salamander smash captains. I think the real question is if these knights can do anything for the chaos factions that struggle competitively. A melee knight with the Subjugation hull seems really at home in monster mash, and I can see the thousand sons running a big friend too. Deathguard will still probably choose Mortarion if they even play a titanic unit. Over all an interesting, but not meta defining book that I think would have had more impact were we not in a meta of craftworld being unshootable for the first 2-3 turns, tryanids being nutty, and AoC bringing marines and sisters back into the top side of power.
The Abominant reminds me of a power rangers megazord
It's such a shame Imperial armies can't add a Psyker Knight to their army too 🙁
I can't wait when you guys get the world eaters codex 💥🤬
love these reviews
Hopefully we see the Chaos Knights v the less superior imp knights game again
Super super excited to pick up Chaos Knights now!
GDI. I was waiting for the WEs release but now I want this.
Hey Nick, you're a great host, and you're doing a great job.
Did somebody say…Explosions?!?
Sounds like another broken codex.
And I've heard the argument but I only have 6 models, yeah 6 unkillable models with insane fire power.
Yes!!!
Chaos Knight vs imperial knight battle with new books would rock!
I used to say Har-bring-ers for the longest time since my D&D days. Warhammer corrected me.
I like how this Mubin dude just bought his way into the videos, pretty sure he is the top paytreon and they just have to put up with him as he forces himself into there content.
Is Mubin wearing a Firefly shirt?
The Chaos and Imp Knight codices are looking SWEET. Love the options, it just feels like nothing is really off limits and has to not be taken.
Okay, so with the two codices dropping, can we see Knights vs Knights, Imperial vs Chaos???
I wish they let the bald guy talk and not interrupt him. He is the only one that doesn’t seem like an idiot.
Have ordered the new army set – and I cannot wait to get my hands on all this delicious heresy
Ok where’s J.T.?
Lol I like Tyco he reminds me of a crazy Viking!
so nice to see that even native speakers arent into the word HARBINGER xD
Finally? Didn't they have a codex like 2 years ago? Jeez GW
I've posted this comment on Reddit, Happy feet are not gone, they are actually back, better than ever!I'm a HUGE fan of the Rampager knight! Give that dude a Warlord trait, Knight Diablous for that extra attack. Hand him a Relic, thats kinda up to you, I like giving him Pyrothrone, so he can cast Winds of Warp on himself for that 5+ FNP, effectively giving him 34 wounds. Then pick either Dreadblade or the Icono household that grants exploding 6s. That Rampager, when used in combination with 2 stratagems "Crushed like vermin" You have to select your feet, you get -1 to hit, but now you're dealing mortal wounds. The second stratagem is "Break their Lines" If you charged that round +1 to hit, removing that pesky negative from the first stratagem. So my Rampager aptly called Sir Stomps Alot can charge, select his feet, he has 7 attacks on the charge, hits on 2s, rerolls 1s, exploding 6s. If the math checks out, he'll average 16 MWs to infantry for 2 CP! Fair warning, I haven't seen this in action yet, but I'm excited to test this combination.
I am so excited for this. Also I want to bring my knights in for a battle
Really nice touch to have that infantry model in there to give scale.
This codex sounds awesome (or at least they make it sound awesome). Can we finally expect some more knight battles? I miss them so much.
I wish you'd called out the absolute lack of synergy that the Tyrant has now. Like, how does it fit into the army now? It's all about War Dog and Abhorrent chassis. Heck, you can't even take most of the relics on the Tyrant
