In today's Warhammer 40k tactica & strategy guide I'll be covering some of the tricks I use to counter Chaos Knights / Imperial Knights in 10th Edition Warhammer 40k, just in time for the new Pariah Nexus era. With the new Towering rules & dataslate FAQ right around the corner don't be surprised if we start seeing more Knights at the upcoming Warhammer tournaments

While they might look scary at first (esp. the Chaos Knights!) with a little know how they can become one of the most straightforward & simple match ups, assuming you have a "proper" army list & know the basic strategy for countering them. While Questoris & Abhorrent Knights might look scary it's actually the Armigers & War Dogs you should be on the lookout for, most of the time!

I'll be touching on everything from the importance of outscoring them, list building / army creation, some of the Knight combos 'n strategems, gotchyas, picking the rights secondaries & more!

This video should have info for just about any Warhammer 40k army. Whether the you're playing a mass of Tyranids, the heretical Chaos Space Marines, utilitarian Custodes or sleek Aeldari, pretty much all of these tips should apply to any 40k faction.

Imperial Knights can be brutal especially when using 1k army list but hopefully this strategy guide will give you some good tips you can use to come out on top in your next tabletop match! Whether it's a competitive tournament or just a casual wh40k match in the garage.

I'm hopeful to start up a new series for 2024 that covers more of the 'advanced tactics' for 10th edition. Be sure to check out some of my previous videos for more tactica / army reviews & keep your eyes peeled for any future videos

Eventually I'm hopeful to branch out into Battle Reports & 40k lore, I'm still improving with each & every video so with time those should come! I'd love to one day reach the level of Auspex Tactics or Tabletop Titans etc

If you have any suggestions for videos you'd like to see in the future please let me know
