Recruitment[ | ]

  • Icon effect ror Recruited with: Regiments of Renown Recruitment panel

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[ | ]

  • Wh3 dlc20 kho skullcrushers axe Monstrous Shock Cavalry
  • Armour-Piercing: The damage of Modifier icon armour piercingarmour-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 Wh main unit passive frenzyfrenzy cause more damage while their Icon stat moraleleadership 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.
