On Monday, we were invited to attend as the Imperial Knights prepared to sally forth and rid the galaxy of the corrupting taint of Chaos. Now, at AdeptiCon, we’ve seen exactly what they’re going up against.
It looks like it’s the Chaos Knights that are actually marching to war! They’re getting new kits with which to stomp their Imperial counterparts, starting with the War Dog Karnivore. These bloodthirsty Knights eschew the ranged weapons of other War Dogs to revel in close-quarters slaughter.
Armed with a reaper chaintalon and slaughterclaw, the Karnivore can tear its way through anything from Dreadnoughts to Trygons.
Be careful not to upset the Karnivore, or you’ll have to face its bigger brother – the Abominant! Did you think the Desecrator and Rampager were blessed by Chaos? Well, the Abominant has been extra favoured by the Dark Gods.
It’s not just Kruleboyz who are accessorising with birds this year. The Abominant has everything you could want in a Chaos Knight – tusks, a volkite combustor to devastate distant enemies, an electroscourge to crush anything that gets too close, AND it’s a psyker. Yes, a Knight that has psychic powers! And that gun is a nod to classic Heresy-era weaponry, which their Imperial counterparts have all but lost.
The Abominant is massive, but it’s not even the biggest reveal from AdeptiCon! Don’t miss everything else we’ve shown off today.
We’ll have more news about the Chaos Knights soon – maybe even sooner than you think! Sign up for our newsletter so you can be the first to find out exactly what a psychic Knight can do on the tabletop.
