Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Chaos Knights (section)

====Questoris-Based====
These are the fluffy choice for a Dark Mechanicus army... if only there were any rules for a Dark Mechanicus army. Or you could just run them as Infernal Houses. Both of these can bypass cover for all non-vehicles. Extremely gimmicky, their value is hotly debated. 

*'''Renegade Knight Magaera:''' The Lightning Cannon is an odd weapon. Heavy 6, Str 7, Ap -2, 3 damage. Any to hit rolls of 6 cause 2 additional hits. It sits in a weird place half-way between an avenger gatling cannon and a rapid fire battle cannon. It has fewer shots than the avenger, but its higher strength and damage makes it more efficient against light vehicles. Its weaker than the Rapid fire battle cannon, but has on average the same, if not higher number of shots and better damage. 
**You can upgrade its reaper chainsword to a Hekaton Siege Claw with a built-in twin Rad Cleanser. The Claw has the same -1 penalty as the thunderstrike gauntlet, but trades the ability to do bonus mortal wounds for +2 damage against vehicles. In addition, the twin rad cleanser a 2d6, 9" flamer that always wounds on a 2+ when shot except against vehicles or titanic units. <strike>In spite of its D3, it has 0 AP and that's fucking weak.</strike> OBJECTION! The Magaera has empyreal preysight, which means it's targets never get the benefits of cover against it's ranged attacks. In an edition where many units are either in cover or count as being in cover the Magaera's twin rad cleanser effectively has an ap of -1. 2D6 hits means it will average 7 hits, which then wound on 2+ and are D3. This means that the twin rad cleanser is likely to kill off 2 MEQs per shot, which is impressive for a free side-weapon
**Finally, it has an Phased plasma fusil (24", Rapid fire 2, Strength 7, ap -3, 2 damage). 
**While the Magaera has a number of interesting weapon options, it pays out the nose for it. If you don't take the claw, you are clocking in at nearly the same price as an atropos or a Double Battle Cannon Despoiler. 
**Fun fact: For some idiotic reason, the Magaera costs 40 points more than the Styrix even though they have functionally the same model before taking weapons into account.

*'''Renegade Knight Styrix:''' Instead of a lightning cannon and ectoplasma fusil, this one has a Graviton Crusher and a Volkite Chierovile (formerly called a Hellburner Chierovile)
**The Volkite Chierovile is basically a RFBC with one better AP, 5 shots instead of 2d6, shorter range, and d6 damage instead of d3. Wound rolls of 6 cause a mortal wound in addition to any other damage. It does alright against vehicles but double thermal cannon Despoiler is just flat out better for alot less. 
**Then there's the crusher which dishes out D3 hits at S6 AP-3 and 2 damage, increasing to 3 damage if the target's armour save is 3+ or better. It's okay, but it can't save a model that is about 100 points too expensive.
