	Crunch-wise, they are the Dakka-laden War Dog, equipped with a pair of [[Autocannon]]s for crowd removal from afar. It's also got the option between either a [[Daemonbreath Spear\|Daemonbreath Meltagun]] (kinda conflicting when your autocannons work very far away) or a [[Heavy Stubber]] for lighter infantry. Like all War Dogs, they're fast but fragile (when compared to the larger Knights, anyway) units that can dish out some punishment.

	Iconoclast War Dogs aka Executioners with [[autocannon]]s will have a slightly easier time fighting off their assaulters compared to the more melee-focused brethren, while one of the two Infernal autocannons can become a respectable S8 AP-1 D4 death machine when you need it to be.

	In contrast to the Rampager, Knights Desecrator possess potent mid- to close-range armaments that lend themselves toward duelling enemy war engines or monstrous beasts, or tearing down the foe's Fortifications. Armed with a [[Laser Destructor\|laser destructor]], it packs a considerable punch at considerable range. There was some confusion between the Desecrator and the Despoiler due to the fact that GW [[Fail\|used the same knight image for both the Desecrator and Despoiler.]] Thankfully, the Codex: Chaos Knights dispelled this confusion and confirmed that, yes, they are indeed two different patterns.

	In terms of the fluff, Desecrators are all cruel despots, well disposed to imposing their tyrannical will upon others and no different than a normal Chaos Lord for that matter. For all intents and purposes, these guys are the ones that treat their War Dog underlings like utter shit the same way a Chaos Lord view his Cultist underlings with the same affection as one views a [[Snotling]]. Essentially, they are [[Dick\|Dicks]]. Contrast this to the Despoiler who couldn't give two flying fucks stepping on the little ones and go their own merry way unless someone challenges them for rightful heir in their households. They are also exceptionally trigger happy if you want to know.

	*'''House Perdaxia''' - House Perdaxia served as a vassal household for Legio Fureans, and were fanatically loyal to them. The entire household repainted their colors to Legio Fureans colors, and they sacrificed themselves by the boatload to protect their masters during the Battle of Paramar V. Their color scheme is yellow with black flame patterns and black trim.		*'''House Perdaxia''' - House Perdaxia served as a vassal household for Legio Fureans, and were fanatically loyal to them.

Their color scheme is yellow with black flame patterns and black trim.
	*'''House Mordred''' - Living on the Forge World of Incaladion along with Legio Fureans, House Mordred and Legio Fureans are bros to the end. This relationship was often presented with rituals and ceremonies that looked primitive to outsiders. House Mordred has a methodical and brutal way of warfare, destroying anyone who somehow survived an assult from Legio Fureans. To House Mordred, the concept of mercy is stupid as hell, and their uncompromising nature meant they had no trouble following Legio Fureans in betraying the Emperor. Their color scheme is Black and red with gold trim.		*'''House Mordred''' - Living on the Forge World of Incaladion along with Legio Fureans, House Mordred and Legio Fureans are bros to the end.

	*'''House Korvax''' - During the Charadon Campaign, [[Be'lakor]] plunged House Raven's homeworld of Kolossi into an endless night, bringing forth madness and Daemons upon the whole planet. With 80% of House Raven away on deployment, the loyalist Knights on the planet did what they could to maintain order but were corrupted themselves by traitorous ~~sacristans~~ who had ~~corrupted~~ their Thrones Mechanicum. Despite the arrival of the [[Sisters of Battle]] and reinforcements from House Raven, the remaining loyalists were wiped out and Be'lakor succeeded in teleporting Kolossi to the other side of the galaxy, bringing the corrupted Knights with him. Their color scheme is black, tan, and red with brass trim.		*'''House Korvax''' - During the Charadon Campaign, [[Be'lakor]] plunged House Raven's homeworld of Kolossi into an endless night, bringing forth madness and Daemons upon the whole planet.

Their color scheme is black, tan, and red with brass trim.
	*'''House Hyboras''' - House Hyboras lived on the volcanic world of Slestra, which was nearly uninhabitable save for powerful quadrupedal bioforms that could submerge in lava. The house's culture revolved around hunting these beasts, and ranking up meant beating your boss in a hunting game to take his job and send him back to the bottom ranking. After a failed invasion of the Forge World of Anvillus by the house, Legio Vulpa helped rebuild them in recognition for how ballsy they were and partnered up with them. When Legio Vulpa sided with Horus, House Hyboras was right behind them. Their color scheme is red and orange with dark silver trim.		*'''House Hyboras''' - House Hyboras lived on the volcanic world of Slestra, which was nearly uninhabitable save for powerful quadrupedal bioforms that could submerge in lava.

	*'''House Malinax''' - House Malinax was formed shortly after their home Forge World of Xana II was incorporated into the Imperium. Despite having a solid service record in the latter years of the Great Crusade and positive reviews from those they served alongside, House Malinax would garner a sinister reputation due to the mystery surrounding Xana II's true loyalties. When Xana II was caught working with both the Imperium and Horus, House Malinax went full traitor along with Xana II. Thanks to the size and power of Xana II, House Malinax had plentiful access to rare Knight patterns such as the Acastus Knight Porphyrion and Questoris Knight Magaera.

	*'''House Ioeden''' - House Ioeden once ruled over a dozen worlds until treachery from within toppled their empire and reduced them to raiders all vying for the position of High King. When the Emperor of Mankind arrived with the Great Crusade, he enticed them onto his side by promising to reunite their worlds and their house. The Emperor stayed true to his word, but he placed off-world foreigners in charge instead of House Ioeden. The bitter scions of House Ioeden sided with Horus to get their land back and united for the first time in millenia to butcher the loyalists on their worlds and rule with an iron fist. Yet House Ioeden would soon lose their worlds again as they were too busy fighting amongst themselves to properly defend them. Now exiled and reduced to raiding again, the scions of House Ioeden abandoned all pretenses of honor, fighting dirty and even [[Alpha Legion\|dressing up as Knights from other loyalist houses]].

	*'''House Oroborn''' - House Oroborn was once fiercely loyal to the Imperium after being rescued from the brink of extinction while fighting a war against xenos. Exactly why House Oroborn turned traitor is unknown, but it's believed the house was gripped with a sickness that had once been prophesied to be the house's undoing, a superstition that was thought to have been stamped out by the arrival of the Imperium. Having turned insular to avoid retribution from the Imperium, the house was apprached by agents of Horus who promised a cure in exchange for their loyalty to the Warmaster. Instead, the sickness only further corrupted the house and sealed their fate. Their color scheme is rusty black and white with sickly green trim.		*'''House Oroborn''' - House Oroborn was once fiercely loyal to the Imperium after being rescued from the brink of extinction while fighting a war against xenos.

	*'''House Makabius''' - House Makabius won an 800-year long civil war on their homeworld of Baroda that left them the only Knight house on the world, and were forcefully brought into compliance by the [[Imperial Fists]] a few decades later. The house's decrepit state combined with the slow resupply from the Forge World of Mezoa meant that new Knight suits were fought over daily. The younger generation from the house often went Freeblade out of eagerness to join the [[Great Crusade]]. One of those Freeblades named Markan Hrotham earned the favor of [[Abaddon the Despoiler\|Ezekyle Abaddon]], and returned to Baroda to get the house loyal to Horus. With the help of the younger generation, Hrotham overthrew the old guard of the House and called everyone back to wait for Horus's call, culminating in a mini-Istvaan that left all the loyalists in the house dead. When the time came, House Makabius would never get the glory they desired as it was the [[Death Guard]] who came instead of Horus, stripping Baroda of all its resources and making House Makabius come with them on genocidal wars against the Imperium.		*'''House Makabius''' - House Makabius won an 800-year long civil war on their homeworld of Baroda that left them the only Knight house on the world, and were forcefully brought into compliance by the [[Imperial Fists]] a few decades later.

	The chaos version of the Imperial Armiger Knights. Unlike the Armigers, the War Dogs are more like lone wolves, usually coming with one model rather than a pair of two. To compensate for the lower model count, the War Dogs can carry all of the weapons from both the Warglaive and Helverin Armigers, giving the War Dogs more choice, flexibility and adaptability than their loyalist counterparts. This of course, is only applicable to the [[Apocalypse]] rule set.		The chaos version of the Imperial Armiger Knights.

	War Dogs are used much in the same way by Chaos Knights as the Imperial Warglaives and Helverins - they flush the enemy out of cover and lay down covering fire for their bigger cousins. While Armiger pilots receive orders from their lords (via the helm mechanicum) as powerful and basically irresistible suggestions that are infused with notions of heroism and nobility, War Dog pilots are given brutal orders using the same mental link. These pilots are treated like garbage and used as fodder and their superiors constantly remind them that they are weak and expendable. This makes War Dog pilots [[RAGE\|bitter and angry]], always scheming behind the backs of their lords but never being able to do anything about it. In battle, their pent-up frustration is let loose and they revel in killing anything weaker than them - which means most infantry and tanks, as War Dogs tower over even the Dreadnoughts of the Space Marines.

Huntsmans are by far, one of the most common garden variety of Chaos Knights from hell you will meet across the battlefields.

			On the tabletop, they are your heretical [[Armiger Knight Warglaive]]s, equipped with an evilly-named daemonbreath spear, meltagun and a reaper chain-cleaver so tanks can go and cry all they want. Of course, the issue with the meltagun comes to its minimal range, so you'd be better off just getting a heavy stubber so you're only worrying about the spear's optimal range.

			Additionally, these War Dogs with the aforementioned [[Chain Weapon#Reaper Chain-Cleaver\|reaper chain cleavers]] and [[Daemonbreath Spear\|daemonbreath spears]] benefit more from the Iconoclast ambition as it gives them extra attacks and makes them more of a threat to tarpits and horde units due to the Morale debuff.

While you have havoc launchers here too, you're simply better served by picking up the heavy stubber, so you're not worrying about the LoS penalties and get 5 points back		On the tabletop, these are your zippy little murder engine, boosted to 14" movement.

			The all-rounder of the War Dog series and the most balanced of the lot. They are piloted by the strongest-willed Nobles, often leading other packs into battle.

			On the tabletop, these are the adaptable ones. Very well-balanced, flexible and cost-effective when it comes to dealing with various threats. Comes with the chaincannon and sword base, but can swap either out for a thermal spear and slaughterclaw respectfully. Your jack of all trades War dog. Can also replace their heavy stubby with a havoc launcher for fun.

	A fully shooty War Dog which skips out on the melee weapons for both the [[Avenger Chaincannon]] and the [[Daemonbreath Spear]]. This is the yin to the Karnivore's yang; it's the polar opposite really and the traitorous counterpart to the [[Armiger Knight Helverin]]. Because of both its ranged weapons and the weight of its ammunition. It is far more cautious than its Karnivore or even Stalker counterpart.
			Because of both its ranged weapons and the weight of its ammunition. It is far more cautious than its Karnivore or even Stalker counterpart. Their pilots likewise are also enamoured with ranged killing and disdain close combat assaults.

			In 9th Edition, the Brigands as aforementioned in the fluff, are your heretical Armiger Helverin, though not by much. Your Brigand comes with the thermal spear like the Huntsman and a chaincannon that's more than capable of handling most crowds with AP-2. You also get a havoc launcher that gives you some short-ranged bombardment as it doesn't require LoS to hit, but you'll be subject to any penalties for doing that. Unlike the Executioner which deals with slightly tougher opponents at long range and is therefore, much more consistent with their shots, the Brigans target the more squishier units to cleanse tarpitters.

			It should be noted that the War Dog Brigand, Karnivore and Stalker as well as the Abominant all get the {{W40kKeyword\|PTERRORSHADES}} keyword, which only works for certain stratagems and relics.
