Chaos Knight review

6/10

+Hit like a truck
-Good Armour
-Expensive
-Die all to easily to magic

In 7th edition, these were the best WoC unit. Now however, they just cant get enough kills to break steadfast and are to expensive to get a big unit. That's what warseer level players think anyway. You dont use them to break steadfast. One way to use them is to charge a huge horde in the side. When they reform to face you, flash them in the side with your ranked up unit. Just stay away from elves and high strength stuff cause you cant afford causalities.  High strength magic seems to kill Knights pretty easily as well.

I would run them like this
5 Knights, Musician, MoK.

15 S5 hits at WS and I5. Warriors get better than this, but the Knights advantage is that they are mobile and are heavily armoured. Use them strategically and they are well worth their points, but mess up with them and its an expensive points sink. I still believe that points are better spent elsewhere though cause they cant hit more than 5 warriors with halberds.
