Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - Datasheet Review post!
What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit in the game of Warhammer 40,000
The last of the Indexes! A new challenge!
Right, I am finally ahead and by my best estimations as I explained in this Post, I should be able to keep ahead of the release curve and get the remainder of the Indexes reviewed before those Codex releases.
So I embark on a new challenge. I have calculated that there are roughly 148 reviews to do. I have chosen my frequency and have given myself 96 days to review them all. That means that I am aiming at Day 96 being the 21st of July 2025!
Today is Day 5/96.
I have reviewed 7/148.
Time elapsed: 5.20%
Review Completion: 4.72%
A sliver under par!
Hobby Fund - Working myself into the clear
With my hobby posts, I generate a hobby fund. 50% of the income goes into the fund. At the moment I put all my HBD earned from Warhammer posts into my alt account @zakl.hobbyfund.
I am collecting funds in the following ways:
- Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
- Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
- Selling some of the collection to friends.
At the current count I am paying off some hobby debts. I still have $245 to pay off!
Every bit counts!
Back to the review!
Who are the Chaos Knight?
Just as the Imperial Knights epitomize Honor and Duty, the Chaos Knights are bringers of Dread and are dishonorable about it!
They use their size and power to subjugate and spread terror in the name of the Chaos Gods. They are fallen nobles who have gone mad.
Some fell to despair. Some craved power. Others were lost to blood-lust and murder-making. Overall, they form bands of hideous and powerful warmongers who seek to spread dread and dismay in the enemy and feed on its effects!
Army Rule - Harbingers of Dread
10th Edition Index
Each model from your army has the following Dread abilities:
Despair (Aura)
While an enemy unit is within 12" of this model, each time it takes a Battle-shock or Leadership test, subtract 1 from the test.
Doom and Darkness
- Each time this model attacks an enemy that is battle-shocked, add 1 to the Wound roll.
- Each time an enemy attacks your model, and that enemy unit is Battle-shocked, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.
Thoughts
So they make it it more probable for an enemy to fail their leadership and then, when they do, they benefit from it!
Of course the Despair Aura has a range on it but the other ability works regardless of the range. So should your ranged attacks or abilities cause a failed Leadership check, you can be rest assured that this unit will become easier to kill as well as be less useful to the enemy commander!
Pretty good!
