CHAOS KNIGHTS IN WARHAMMER 40000 The swift and terrifying demi-titans of the Chaos armies. The Chaos Knights lead a pitiful existence despite being some of the most powerful servants of the dark gods of chaos. The bulk of the video is taken from the 8th edition codex, for exactness. An introduction to the topic only. There will be subsequent videos on weapons, makes and models, as otherwise the video would be about 3 hours long. The story at the beginning is connected to the campaign at Abundance Tertius, which will continue very soon. All fiction is written by myself and should never ever be considered cannon.

The Imperial Knights are a symbol of honor and chivalry for many within our beloved Imperium and they blessed by the Machine God and the Immortal Emperor to be our most formidable defenders. So, when a Knight falls to darkness they abandon their honor and their sanity and become slaves to the bloodthirsty machine from whence they were once bonded.
I like how house Herpetrax never swore loyalty to the emperor. They've been chaos OG forever. Plus they get additional 4 wounds to large knights 2 to wardogs on the table top which make then rather spicy.
@@Mr_Bunk I thought he was referring to the "True sons" of Horus Which are mentioned dozens on times in the Novels Meaning, they share the Warmasters visage, like Axximand
Another fantastic tale from our favourite noggin-based narrator, I particularly enjoyed the analogy of Ion shields as a magic egg. I now and forevermore shall think of knight pilots as basically the Jamaican bobsled team from Cool Runnings
@@baldermort We all must make sacrifices. I relate as because of this the heresy box will have to wait. But it is a marvelous piece and so I regret nothing.
The recent showing of the Chaos Knight House Mandrakor was very impressive! Their forces defended their homeworld in the Nachmund Gauntlet against an full combined Imperial strike-force lead by a dozen chapters of spacemarines. And they then linked up with the enormous Chaos Armada, that Abaddon gave to Haarken Worldclaimer to conquer the Gauntlet with. They brought 600-700 knight-suits to the banner of the Warmasters chosen lieutenant!
@@baldermort It is the central plotline in the latest warzone book for Nachmund called "Rift War" Abaddon is done playing around. He has tasked Haarken with taking the Gauntlet, closing the crossing and breaking into the Imperium Sanctus side. He has given his chosen lieutant a warfleet of almost 600 capital-class warships! That is almost the size of an original Legion fleet x2!! That is huge, and the imperium is loosing badly in their attempts to contain him so fare. Crusade Fleet Secundus of the Indomitus Crusade has been forced to allocate almost its entire strength to the Sanctus-end of the Nachmund Gauntlet, and even then the imperium isn't sure of a win!
Giant Mecha knights fueled by the hunger of thirsting gods, their black hearts forged in the fires of treachery and metal tested against all the galaxy has to offer it is for that reason that chaos knights shall forever stand as my favorite faction in Warhammer 40k
Honestly I think your best voice over and story telling work is when you do evil factions like chaos. I can feel the dread in my bones and I love it. Great video I love knights and chaos are a so interesting to learn about
play this over headphones or quality speakers for a truly euphoric experience. Thank you for making this. The forces of Chaos are easily my favorite topic when it comes to 40k.
Your voice and story are my favorite part of the 40k univers. I look forward to them more then playing. The Abundance tertius story is my absolute favorite and can't wait to hear more.
It’s crazy how their weapons can become awakened and work on their own whims, if I can’t have 100% control of my war gear I’d go insane, yes the power it grants is potent but with the ruinous powers you can never be too careful...
ah to come so late to the party but I am none the less massively entertained, what a wonderful entry Baldermort. "Lore with passion" indeed, it anything this undersells how magnificient these entries are.
Oh my God! That Emperor's Children noise Marine standing on the night like the Mad Max dude with his guitar flamethrower is just sick whoever built that should be extremely proud that is one nasty piece of tabletop right there can I tell you! LOL completely badass
Hey Baldy, of course I love your videos and this one is no exception. Just wanted to say, I really do wish you all the best, these video mean a lot to me. See you in the next comment section, keep up the amazing work.
another blasting masterpiece. never has it been easier to imagen a 4 floor high death machine driven by the soul of a degenerated psychopat... what makes your chaos stories so outstanding to me is that i simultaniously have powerfantasies and feel the dread of the sickening existances as a pawn of chaos.
Bravo brother Baldermort bravo! The noblest twisted into darkness, Mordrid of Arthurian legend. Lost in shame and hatred. A fascinating story and a powerful weapon on the board. B3 B3 indeed 👍
baldermort defines the characters more than the lore ever could, the lore is merely the clay with which he molds, could you imagine the honor of him being you GM
Assassinorum: Kingmaker, by Robert Rath is a really good Black Library novel that just came out a few month ago. It takes place on a Knight world. It has Officio Assassinorum characters, but it's mostly full of Imperial Knight stuff, and maybe even some of the ol' spikey corruption going on behind the scenes. It's really good, way better than most of the BL stuff to come out in the last 10 years.
Dear uncle Baldy, wow, you know I'm a fanboy of the knights in any style or form but this time, you've battered that out of the park, and just as I was settling down, you tell us there's more? The Imperial Knights have a true narrator compiling their many battle honours but now, it seems, so do the Chaos Knights!! Does it get any better? Of course!!!! We know you have something spectacular and cheeky up your sleeves. Can not wait, thank you!
Honestly Baldemort, I love your videos and often times when I'm struggling to find motivation to paint, I put your videos on and get to work. Thanks for all that you do!
just finish Abominant knight few days ago , now only need to paint 1 more rubric marine unit and good to go. (thousand sons with dreadblade fallen knight friend)
Right before the picture of a Chaos Knight with the Flayer Virus popped up I was thinking how certain Knight worlds would be perfect places for Triarch Preatorians to teach the values of the Necrontyr during the age of Strife.
@@baldermort part of me wants to replay in character, but I've been loving that series so much (homie your comedic timing and voice inflections are fuckin chef's kiss perfect) that all I really wanna say is YES GIVE ME MORE!! 😊
I've been working on a Chaos Knight (Khorne) "commission" for a friend recently. Listening to this installment of Baldermort's Badazery helps get me in the mindset and gives me inspiration to let the monsters from the warp influence the death machine before me. It seems like Titians get most of the glory, but if you think about it, you have to be this 1 in billions born with what is basically aa "stable" mutation AND you have to survive the trials to be found fit to pilot a giant tool of war that may be tens of thousands of year old because the witch doctors of the red planet "forgot" how to make them... Knights on the other hand seem like a more obtainable, more of a murderbot of the people, type of instrument. Like a Camaro or Mustang vs Bugatti or Lamborghini, sure most of us couldn't afford any of those but, at least here on the other side of the pond, one may be more attainable because they're more common, seen more often. I'd be able to test drive a Mustang long before I'd be allowed to touch a Bugatti. Granted, I'm only comparing the grouped Titians and knights, a generalization if you will. If we start throwing all the other vehicles of 40k into this then my car comparisons would need to be adjusted. My rambling will end now before I write a novel that reads like the scribbles of a mad man. Love the channel(s)!
@@baldermort oh I know, but saying they are “individualistic” implies they prefer to operate alone…. Ah nevermind lol. I’ll not argue with the writer. ;)
Dude your script was so well written that I didn't even make it passed 30 seconds before I had to give up listening. Yes this maybe about my imperial indoctrination but you presented it so well.
@@baldermort If it helps in the 9th edition Codex, there's imperial reports of seeing Voidships flying alongside tyranid fleets. Not all cults are devoured entirely.
I love how Knights look. Theyre such a unique design choice for mechs and a far more realistic take on a walker when compared to the more anime style walkers. The War Dogs have an awesome hunched look and the new taller and thinner jousters with shock lances and ion shields. Plasma lances would be cool as melee power weapons which can sometimes shoot semi accurate plasma shots.
As a (relatively) new Chaos Knights owner of just over 2 years, I have enjoyed this immensely. I hope you will do a story and guide to the other great knights in the universe (I am biased towards desiring Chaos versions, but I will anticipate loyalist leaning versions equally) - namely the Armiger Moirax, the Questoris Styrix, the Questoris Magaera, the Cerastus Class Atrapos, Castigator, Lancer, and Acheron. And of course, the mighty Acastus-class Porphyrion.
Chaos Knights... I wonder if they might come back for a good detail job with 3 coats of hot wax after their wash... Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Thrown! Farts for the inquisition! Comments for the Algorithm!
I'm cominmg to hate this word bearer, I truly hope i get to hear the tale where a loyalist cuts down this traitor, ever will I value Loyalty, it is its own reward! For the Lion!
A little off-topic, but I have a question. You mentioned that he is looking for a true son of Horus and that makes me think of a question that I have had for some time. Due to the mutations that they suffer, will the old traitor legions eventually cease to exist? I do not mean Chaos Marines in general, I mean the sons of Angron, Horus, Kurz and the rest. Will we reach a point where all traitor marines are from loyalist chapters?
Baldermort. You gotta make a video about the Abominatus of Khorne. I really hope GW brings it back some day... Im positive Khorne wouldn't let such a valuable tool just Vanish into thin air.
