eitherPlayer
Claimed for the Dark Gods
1 CPThe Fallen Noble dedicates their latest conquest to the Dark Gods in hope of reward.
Start of your Command phase.
One CHAOS KNIGHTS CHARACTER unit from your army that is within range of one or more objective markers you control.
Select one of those objective markers. That objective marker remains under your control, with a Level of Control of 5 (unless it would otherwise be higher), until your opponent’s Level of Control over that objective marker is greater than yours at the end of a phase.
Spiteful Demise
1 CPDetermined that tales will be told of their spectacular end, the Fallen Noble overloads the internal generators of their Knight suit, hoping to take their enemy with them into oblivion.
Any phase, just after a CHAOS KNIGHTS CHARACTER unit from your army is destroyed.
That CHAOS KNIGHTS CHARACTER unit. You can use this Stratagem on that unit even though it was just destroyed.
When rolling to determine whether mortal wounds are inflicted by your unit’s Deadly Demise ability, that model’s Deadly Demise ability inflicts mortal wounds on a D6 roll of a 4+ instead of on a 6.
Runes of Disdain
2 CPInscribed into the Knight suit’s servo-skeleton, these markings channel the pilot’s contempt for the foe and manifest it as a sorcerous aura of defence.
Your opponent’s Shooting phase or the Fight phase, just after an enemy unit has selected its targets.
One CHAOS KNIGHTS CHARACTER unit from your army that was selected as the target of one or more of the attacking unit’s attacks.
Until the end of the phase, each time an attack is allocated to a model in your unit, subtract 1 from the Damage characteristic of that attack.
Titanic Duel
1 CPThe Chaos Knights engage in duels not for honour, but to assert their absolute dominance over the battlefield.
Your Shooting phase or the Fight phase.
One CHAOS KNIGHTS CHARACTER unit from your army that has not been selected to shoot or fight this phase.
Select one enemy MONSTER or VEHICLE unit. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in your unit makes an attack that targets that enemy unit, re-roll a Hit roll of 1 and re-roll a Wound roll of 1. Each time a model in your unit makes an attack that targets that enemy unit, if that enemy unit is TITANIC, you can re-roll the Hit roll and you can re-roll the Wound roll instead.
Trophy Hunter
1 CPTo these Fallen Nobles, each new foe chased down is another opportunity to claim gory trophies.
Fight phase, just before a CHAOS KNIGHTS CHARACTER unit from your army consolidates.
That CHAOS KNIGHTS CHARACTER unit.
Until the end of the phase, each time your unit Consolidates, models in it can move an additional 3" as long as your unit can end that move within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units.
Your Turn
Crushed Like Vermin
1 CPScreaming enemy warriors are crushed to gory paste as the Chaos Knight tramples spitefully through their midst, stamping and raking these unworthy foes with its huge, taloned feet.
Your Movement phase, just after a CHAOS KNIGHTS CHARACTER unit from your army ends a Normal move.
That CHAOS KNIGHTS CHARACTER unit.
Select one enemy unit (excluding MONSTERS and VEHICLES) that your unit moved over during that move and roll six D6: for each 4+, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound. If one or more models are destroyed as a result of this Stratagem, that enemy unit must take a Battle-shock test.
