Swords of Chaos (Chaos Knights)

are a Regiment of Renown melee cavalry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer with the Foundation Update.
== Recruitment ==
* Recruited with: Regiments of Renown Recruitment panel
== Description ==
Chaos Knights are feared throughout the Old World and beyond as merciless butchers capable of turning the course of battle with a single charge. They are towering brutes atop immensely powerful Chaos Steeds, rider and mount clad in thickest plate, each section of armour crafted by a master Daemonsmith. Even their frightful reputation is a weapon in its own right, crippling those who would stand against them before a single blow is struck. Each is a paragon amongst his warrior brethren, for he has trod the path of damnation for many years and holds the favour of the Dark Gods.
== Attributes ==
== Unit Abilities ==
=== Active Abilities ===
* Apocalyptic Charge
=== Passive Abilities ===
* Guardian
== Strategy ==
Chaos Knights with Flaming attacks, Guardian, and speed/charge boost. These traits make them good for pairing with a lord as a bodyguard unit. They are a melee cavalry so can actually survive for a while in combat and rely less on a charge bonus. They should shadow your lord or heroes generally. Notably, they do have significantly less models than standard chaos knights.
