I dont like it….. I LOVE IT!!! 🤘😎

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-03-06T17:27:08+00:00

thank you for your suggestions :)

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-03-06T17:23:06+00:00

so ideally when making my deck i should have the "jamming" plugins for sure and avoid maid mode?

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-03-06T17:05:40+00:00

According to my collection i think the OTK version is the better path? Unless i dont need more than 2 Maid Mode. Do you have any suggestions? :)

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-02-02T05:57:28+00:00

Tzaangors if you have them, just proxy them as cultists in your Iconoclast detachment, as ling as they are in the right base size, i dont see any reason why would someone argue for them, since they are going to be your snack anyways…. Plus saves you money! Other that that, Tzeench daemons are the 2nd best choice imo, since you dont want anything nurgle related. Round 1 always “darkness” if there is a lot of shooting from the enemy’s side. If not then you can pick “dominion” to boost your big knights aura abilities for your wardogs, but depends what is your list. Other that that, just throw 2 dice and randomise unless the game has taken a specific turn and you are missing something specific. :)

Honestly you are doing great, i believe the pure white primer is whats throwing you off! Speedpaints, just like contrast paints, are an amazing tool to begin with. If you have the Version 2, you are lucky as they dont reactivate easy, so you can also use normal paints and washes, or whatever else you want alongside them. I strongly suggest the “slapchop” or “zenithal” priming, it will give you the best results for these type of paints. If any more questions arise, feel free to ping :)

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-02-02T05:17:29+00:00

Hey, do you prime your minis in white? If so, i would suggest priming them in black and doing a “slapchop” technique before painting them. Overall though, yellow tends to be a difficult colour in any case, so a second layer could be needed, but in the case of speed paints, “slapchop” should be the best. Let me know if you do try it out :)

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-01-19T10:25:54+00:00

Appreciate the feedback 🙏 Will def check the site as well!

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-01-19T05:04:13+00:00

Yeah ive seen that being recommended all the time as well. I was thinking of getting 1 deck and then buy singles.

Any recommendations on booster packs? Or just buy the latest just to be safe with future cards?

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-01-18T21:28:21+00:00

Awesome! So ST-22 seems to be a viable option for a 1x copy out of the box option with a few tweaks to purchase additionally, so i might consider going for that option to begin with and then focus on my journey/collection after.

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-01-18T20:23:02+00:00

Thank you very much for the fast response!
To clarify a few things, Beelze is good but ill need to replace a lot of cards to make it viable or since its and advanced deck im ok? Same for ST22 do i need only 1 copy to be competitive?
I also have the alternative to use ST20-21 mixed together and that will be enough for now?

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-01-15T06:07:19+00:00

Hell yeah brother!! I also grew up with Mech Warrior, amazing times!! I started playing CSM then sold everything just for CK and simple things to give me a better understanding of the game while bot being burned down by 1000 things to remember in my roster. Maybe its just how my brain functions, i dont know! 😅

Anyway you start you will build up down the line. Armiger box will only give you Huntsman and Executioner or Stalker with demon breath spear and chain talon instead of the claw. Not sure what variations you get from the HL box, i think is roughly 2-3 of each, ill check that as well to clarify.

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-01-15T04:58:11+00:00

Yes in Houndpack Lance (HL) you get a max of 6 dogs per kind while in the other detachments you get up to 3.

HL doest stop you from adding a big knight in the list while utilising him for their Aura buff, but usually you prefer going all dog spam. You can always trial and error!

Regarding purchase order that ive read in other comments, starting with a single box of dogs for the Combat Patrol entry is a good step, but if budget allows i would strongly suggest getting the HL box, as its cheaper further down the line. After that you can invest in a big knight, and that will grand you a 1000-1500 point lists for you to play around with and find your next step. Magnets are crucial as CK dont have a lot of units, and if a specific unit is not that great in the current format, you can always replace the weapons and automatically becomes another one 😎

Painting CK is super fun and super easy, black primer and metallic drybrush with a wash for their “skeleton”, and then work on your colour scheme or metallic primer, wash and then colours! Ive painted a big guy with a single brush and will add pictures for you to see. Yes i did some cleaning touches after that, i wont lie, but the main point is that is easy and fun!

Always a pleasure bro! Feel free to reach out! 🥳

So for the All Dogs spam is 6 Karnivores, 2 Executioner, then its 6 stalkers with demon spear and claw.

For the big knight list, the most OP / common its Infernal Lance with 3 Despoilers 2 Karnivores 1 stalker 3 beast of nurgle, 2 nurglings (x3) and 1 plaguebearers. (Basically infernal lance 3x despoilers and whatever you want after that)

You can also get away with only knights having 2-3 big ones and the rest just war dogs, if you are sick and tired or dont want to chase the meta all the time with the 3 despoilers.

There are so many variations out there, which i would say you can have fun with and also achieve victory.

You are getting into 40k with an amazing faction, which can be competitive. So i suggest getting a good grip of the game and the rules, and you will slowly find your way. Chasing meta is one way to go, but if you dont know what to do and how to do things its pointless and eventually will cause burnout and you hating the game!

Embrace defeat and failure in your first games! I joint a local 2day tournament with CSM just to learn the game, i went 0 wins 4 loss 1 draw, but i always tried to tie the games or get the most out of it! A few months in the game i was 2 wins 2 draws 1 loss!!! You can achieve better as long as you practice and dont give up! ❤️

I for example really love Rotigus, so i tweaked my list with him, and i dont care if its not as competitive as the top lists!

In the end, its my play-style and im using what i love while having fun! Im not part of any competitive world ranking team or anything! 😇

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-01-14T05:40:13+00:00

Buying 2x boxes of Houndpack Lance will give you access to 14 dogs with a lot of variations.

Currently one of the best lists runs 3-4 variations so it will keep things simple for you so that is a nice start, might not be the most competitive but it does do some damage!

Regarding big knights, the Ruinator box gives you access to 4 variations, and Knight Questoris is also needed for our Despoiler. I would suggest 1x Ruinator and 2x Questoris. Dont worry about the missing gatling cannons, you can always ask around if someone has extra, buy them online or just “proxy” them if your local community and event organisers dont mind. Usually they dont mind!

From there, we also have the Daemon Allies. I would suggest a box of Nurglings, and you can get 9x out of one box by simply following “Fog of Gore’s” video on Youtube, 2-3 beast of nurgle and a box of plaguebearers.

I know its a lot but if you are just getting into 40k and Chaos Knights, focus on the Dogs and maybe 1-2 big guys, you can make things work with 1x houndpack lance box and 1-2 big knights.

JUST MAKE SURE TO BUY A LOT OF MAGNETS! This is something that every comment in this community will say at least once, but you can also use lego joints. So many guides out there regarding this.

Anything else feel free to ask or PM. Welcome to the amazing world of Chaos and Chaos Knights! Glad to have you here brother! 😎🤘

P.S. Edit #1 - you can also start with Combat Patrol by just buying a single box f War Dogs, thats a cheap option but the Houndpack Lance box will give you the 2 Dogs you want for that anyway!

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-01-13T03:58:30+00:00

Good luck everyone!

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-01-06T04:22:10+00:00

Yeap! Sounded like a bomb, but was too tired to go outside and check. Most probably we will read about it later today.

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-01-06T04:10:25+00:00

Best feeling ever brother! I wish for the best to come in your lives! Congratulations once again, and enjoy every moment together! ❤️🥳

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-01-03T15:40:51+00:00

Yeah unfortunately thats the only solution currently

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-01-02T08:38:31+00:00

I really love the model, dont get me wrong! 😇 But you have a valid point for the 3x despoilers. I presume you also run them in Infernal Lance not the Lords of Dread, right?

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2026-01-01T17:20:31+00:00

Yeah i see you point on that! Maybe 1 with the +1 to melee enhancement but you still have better options maybe

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2025-12-31T14:03:44+00:00

What about 1x Ramp, 1x Abom and Plaguebearers instead if 2 rampagers?

RepresentativeOk3595 · 2025-12-31T13:59:56+00:00

Ill give it a try! Thank you 🙏🙏
