“ | Wet breeches are the least of enemy infantry's problems when this hellish cavalry of Khorne bears down. | „ |
Knights of the Brazen Throne (Skullcrushers of Khorne) are a Khorne,
Daemons of Chaos, and
Warriors of Chaos Regiment of Renown melee cavalry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III for Champions of Chaos.
Recruitment[ | ]
Description[ | ]
So favoured in the eyes of Khorne are these murderous Knights that the Blood God has gifted them with Juggernauts to carry them to war. These massive Daemonic mounts are made of living metal and pure rage; they are dealers of untold destruction who grind their foes beneath steel sinews and brass hooves. As the blood-crazed Knights bellow their battle cries, their fearsome mounts snort steam and paw out divots the size of shallow graves before stampeding towards the ranks of their prey and flattening anything in their way.
Attributes[ | ]
Monstrous Shock Cavalry
- ▲ Armour-Piercing: The damage of
armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
- ▲ Anti-Infantry: Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that effects a large area.
- ▲ Causes Terror: This unit can cause terror, making its melee target rout for a short time. Units that cause terror are immune to terror and fear themselves.
- ▲ Frenzy: Units with
frenzy cause more damage while their
leadership is high.

Strategy[ | ]
Unlike it's original variant, Knights of the Brazen Throne loses it's anti-large for anti-infantry, allowing them to be better against infantry instead of losing large units but slightly more vulnerable to ranged units, losing the shield which shouldn't be a main concern since after easily disposing their frontline infantry, this unit won't have a hard time destroying enemy's missile units.
