Where the False-Emperor’s lackeys parade their gaudy, over- armoured idols as ‘guardians’, the masters of the Eightfold Path unleash engines of pure, unbridled destruction. Behold the Knight Ruinator – a nightmare forged in the fires of the immaterium, a towering testament to ruin and a specialist in delivering utterly horrific close-range devastation.
This is no hesitant shield-bearer. The Knight Ruinator strides onto the battlefield with a singular, bloodthirsty purpose: to utterly annihilate a chosen foe. Marked for death from the outset, the target of a Ruinator’s ire will know no peace as this colossal instrument of torment relentlessly closes the distance.
Armour plates warped and defiled by the energies of the warp enclose a frame built for brutal efficiency. Its primary long-range weapon is the Darkflame Lance, a terrifying weapon that vomits forth torrents of infernal energy, rivalling the destructive output of even the much-vaunted armaments of the Tyrant-class Knights. Supporting this are a pair of Terrorpulse Missile Launchers, unleashing concentrated volleys of armour-piercing ordnance capable of reducing even the most heavily-armoured Space Marine to a crimson mist.
But it is in the brutal theatre of close combat that the Ruinator truly excels. Eschewing the balanced armouries of its weaker kin, this unholy walker mounts the dreaded Fellbore upon its secondary arm. This devastating close-combat weapon is designed for one gruesome task: to bore through the strongest fortifications and the thickest hides, leaving a trail of splintered ceramite and pulped flesh in its wake.
Such focused, murderous intent requires a dark and twisted intellect within the cockpit, a scion of a Fell Household utterly dedicated to the art of the kill. These accursed pilots revel in the hunt, systematically dismantling their chosen prey before turning their attention to the next unfortunate soul who crosses their path.
Full rules and background for unleashing the Knight Ruinator upon your enemies can be found within the pages of the new Codex: Chaos Knights. This unholy tome is filled with the dark history of the traitorous Knight Households, galleries of corrupted war machines, and all the rules required to field these monstrous engines of war, including powerful new Detachments.
The Knight Ruinator kit is a versatile addition to any Chaos Knight collection, offering a new build option from the same multipart plastic kit that can also assemble the brutal Knight Desecrator, the frenzied Knight Rampager, and the abhorrent Knight Abominant. Begin your reign of terror or reinforce your existing Household with this terrifying new variant.
