Warhammer 40k Battle Report: Imperial Knights vs Chaos Knights

Uncategorized Mar 30, 2021

In this Warhammer 40k Battle Report we see the age 10,000 year battle continue. The knightly households of old, clash once again in the ruins of a fallen Imperial world. 

We see the Damned Chaos Knights vs the Imperial Knights.

VT Coach Aaron will be bringing his imperial knights list to hunt down their traitorous cousins.

Up against Aaron, Stephen Bow will be using his Renegade knights list that we have seen a few times on the channel now. Can they with stand the glorious vengeance of the Imperium.

For this Warhammer 40k 9th edition battle report we will be using 2000 point strike force armies along with the missions from Games Workshop Grand Tournament 2020 mission pack.

The mission for this battle report is Sweep and Clear.

A 5 objective Mission, with a Hold 1, Hold 2 stipulation.

Where once you claim an objective, you can leave it in your following movement phase and it still counts as yours till your opponent steals it. 

 

In this Warhammer 40,000 battle report we talk through the Knights armies and the secondary objectives that work well for them.

We show you the armies, the mission, the deployment, turn by turn analysis and with the end of the turn and game round-up. 

If you are looking for a new competitive Imperial Knights or Chaos Knights army , but also themed to their narrative play style then you will love these lists.
