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.

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.

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.

Loved the sneaking in of: "A True son (Of Horus), so to speak" Giving a nice nod to the some Horus heresy novels sayings about their Legion

Gonna listen to this as I begin painting my first war dogs for my custom chaos knight household

I just started a chaos knight army. Death to the false other giant walkers!!!!

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

that chaos marine playing the guntar on top of the knight is awesome

Finally Chaos Knights get the Baldermort treatment

CHAOS KNIGHTS ON A FRIDAY OFF?! It's not even my birthday, Brother Baldermort, but this video is a gift - as always.

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

Having just built and basepainted my chaos knight. This is going to be a treat to listen while painting it.

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!

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

Fear not the The Blood Ravens are here!

Damn Baldermort, you really know how to write good villains, your word bearer and Night Lord are some of the best!

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.

What people fail to realize is the true destruction and devastation a knight can bring

Chaos Knights! If I'd been given a choice about what Baldy video I wanted next, this would have been quite high on the list!

Ah yes, a story on chaos knight from you brother baldemort, chaos is pleased

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...

The Knight that was somehow infected with the Necron Flayer virus raises so many very interesting questions and possibilities.

With your voice, you could read a washing machine operation manual and I'd still be enthralled the entire time

I get goosebumps every time. Intro really set the mood on this one though. Nicely done Baldermort

It's like the Avengers from hell. I love these stories and can't wait to see how you handle the Emperor's Children!

Been waiting for this one. Solid deliver.

Yes! Another chaos entry 🤘. As a chaos player these videos are fuel for the engine, i love it. Thank you brother 👍.

Really enjoyed this one! I've always had a fondness for all things titan, so I immediately clicked on this when I saw it!

A whole hour of Balders for my birthday weekend! How exciting as I work on priming this Castellan I got for the event!

Was looking forward to this I had just recently started collecting 40k and started with chaos knights

Oh my throne! Hyped to hear this. Thank you once again!

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.

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.

Never been so early love everything I've ever watched on this channel!! Thank you Baldemort!!!

That made for the most epic prisoner transport to a mental hospital ever. (Guy had a chaos undivided tattoo and enjoyed it too.)

That Word Bearer is a magnificent bastard. So many pieces in motion, so well ensnared... Mightily looking forward to how it goes.

Perfect timing. I just bought a Chaos Knight today.

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.

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)

Epic! That's all I can say. Well done Baldimort.

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

Yes Chaos, thank the pantheon for your unbiased zeal!

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.

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 👍

Lovely video! I think one of my wardogs needs to be named Baldermort now.

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.

Glad to hear Abundus Tertius is back on the menu! Great video as ever! Love your story writting!

one hour , i ll need a triple espresso for sure . thank you , have a nice weekend !

Yeeessssssss more abundance tertious stories 😈😈😈

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!

Brilliant, as always. A beautiful other side of the coin to the precepts video i so much enjoyed.

Abundance Tertius is gonna be a hell of a fight.

BIG STOMPY BOYS! Love having your voice in my head, giving me glorious stories while I do meal prep 😂❤️

Thank you baldy.. I really enjoy your content and appreciate all the time and effort you put into your videos!

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.

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!

A well done, legendary telling Brother B, well done, as always:)

Even though all your stories are amazing, your Chaos videos seem to have an extra special feeling to them. I get an actual feeling of doom from them.

I'm currently reading the Mortis novel of the Horus Heresy so this video comes with perfect timing!

Thank you Baldermort for this amazing video

You absolute legend. Need a revisit to genestealer Cults though!

I love how you brought back the Defiler guy for this warband!

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

A over 1 hour long video? Nice, I will listen to it now, gotta paint my iron Warriors while doing so 😁

Fantastic work 👏

your stories are just so well done. I am waiting on the Abundance Tercia (spelling?) full story. just awesome.

Love me some Chaos Knights. Coincidentally, I was also building some War Dogs while listening along to this.

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 don't even have to open my mind. The fury and hatred are already there. Unbound, unstoppable and relentless. Let the Galaxy burn!!!

Absolutely loved this. Ive listened to it a few times now!

Another masterpiece, thank you.

Excellent Topic!

Baldy, you just keep getting better!

Excellent video once again smashing it balders

Oh baby it's a long one! yey

Dear humble servant, A chaos night is the result of lining up 14 shot glasses, filling the first 9 with Tequila and the back 5 with Gin. IT Does Not Matter how long you take to complete the task, you WILL be corrupted in the end. Yours faithfully, A humble listener. PS all the best to you and Mrs B with the 2nd channel.

They are my favorite faction. Thanks for the lore as always.

Emporer bless you brother Baldemort you are a British treasure at least in my mind appreciate you brother.

ooh nice! i love dinosaur doccos, will deffs be watching all the vids on GK Naturalhistory

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?

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.

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)!

great video! :)

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.

Holly shit. New Fallout London trailer...i am speechless. That was awesome to find. I didnt know. Good work sir.

Oh yes. I just started my knights army. 😁

Thanks for the great video Balders!

Just got a new questoris knight magaera from forge world. Can't wait to put it into the field of battle

“Individualistic Knights” works just as well as “Individual Knights” imo, Lord B :)

Best channel on youtube

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.

Is the Word Bearer still gonna pick up some blood pact boys?

Where did you happen to find the Tzeentch Chaos Knight art piece at about 1:05:34 ? Looks awesome.

Thank you , BM . 🐺

Jesus man dam good voice acting It's my dream to become a voice actor one day I hope I could be this good?

A chaos knight is death and destruction made manifest, unbound in ending it is pure and it is chaos

Nice 👍

There we are I knew you would have one

fricking brilliant =D

Oh... wow... that's gonna be a good one...
