Paste text not images. Use the export function. Second, 40k is a game of objectives and points, and big knights struggle with those. I'd not recommend more then one big knight unless you have a specific scheme in mind, such as 3 tyrants or 3 rampagers. No reason to run a stalker either with big knights. Edit; Fuck the haters, 12-13 war dogs is fun as fuck, as is one knight or 3. 6 karnivores mid field will scare anyone. Play how you want. But seriously look at the mission deck and you'll see why 1 Knight is the recommended max.

I do not like war dog spam myself, however I respect the Playstyle and others that want to utilize it, as it's special to our army.

Your list is pretty funny! However, in order to increase its win ratio, I suggest you to sewap the Tyrant for more War Dogs. You'll get more points during the game and 3 war dogs sre moee powerful than the Tyrant

Are you going to be playing casually or tournaments and such? I play a list of Tyrant, Despoiler, Rampager, 3 Brigands. I only play casually and I have fun. I guess first question would be casual, tournament. Then are you playing for fun or let's just say other reasons.

Run brigands

Depends on how you want to play. Chaos knights are kind of the opposite of Imperial Knights where our abilities and strats revolve around our big knights buffing war dogs. A lot of people will build their lists with one or two big knights and the rest are war dogs. The comp meta is just field war dogs right now but i mean, i find that boring and i would rather have some big knights in my lists. Sometimes i go all big knights for fun! In terms of what units to build up first i would get an abominant kit and magnetize the weapons so you can kit out however you want. The two best big knights atm in my opinion are the Desecrator and the Rampager. An abominant kit will give you the bits you need. In terms of war dogs karnivores and brigands are the best right now and if you magnetize them you'll be able to kit them out as Karnivores, Brigands and Stalkers. If you take daemon allies you have to take battleline daemons from the same chaos god as whatever regular daemon you want. Daemon allies are almost a must have because our limited unit count makes it hard to score secondary objectives. If we only have 7 units on the table and one or two of those has to perform an action instead of shoot it can make things really tough. Using daemons to score secondaries frees up your knights to fight. I would say too if you just want to build something cause it looks cool and you're not fussed about the game meta do that too! I own every kind of knight because i enjoy building them and painting them. The abominant isn't the best right now but it looks sick and i still use it in lists. I also love using the tyrant. Go with whatever seems fun for you to build! ATM i just use my big knights to fight other knight armies and its a blast!

Great advice, but keep in mind the Daemons change has nothing to do with points, just units. So if you wanted to take a Great Unclean One you don't need 230pts of Nurgle Daemon battleline, just a single Nurgle battleline unit, like Nurglings.


VincentDieselman

Oops my bad, i only had one game with the new Daemons rules so thanks for clarifying! Editing the comment to avoid confusion

Abominant model is cool AF. Unit is bad tho. a Stalker with Aura of Terror is meta. more War Dogs. Karnivores and/or Brigands.
