Editing Chaos Knight (section)

===Dreadblades===
These guys are exactly what the name implies: individual Knights that went renegade or fell to Chaos without taking the rest of their House with them, whether because they're the last surviving member or because the rest of the House stayed loyal. Generally act like a kind of reverse-Freeblade, working as mercenaries, pursuing personal vendettas against the Imperium, or just randomly lashing out at everything in their path.
*'''Sire of Doom''' - The Knights of House Daitan were captured by the Dark Mechanicum and then subjected to inhuman torture. The Knights died one by one until they came to the last of them, Kiro. The Dark Mechanicum then sealed all the pain and despair Kiro's kinsmen experienced inside his machine, the Sire of Doom, turning both pilot and machine into a mindless engine of destruction.
*'''Incarnate Slaughter''' - House Merridon was wiped out by [[Hive Fleet Hydra]], save for the Knight Valour Incarnate and its pilot Decima. Just as the Knight was deep in Tyranid bodies, it was spirited away though a Warp Rift. Now the Knight Rampager appears on battlefields where enough blood has been shed to form massive pools. Though it prefers to hunt down Tyranids whenever it can find them, it's definitely not averse to massacring any Imperials it runs across.
*'''The Gilded King''' - House Lyngor had a custom of adorning their Knights with escutcheons made out of gold. When the High Monarchs of House Lyngor fell to Chaos, the Knight Desecrator The Gilded King began killing every other Knight, stripping them of the golden escutcheons, then put them on themselves. The Gilded King continued its quest of exterminating every lifeform on its homeworld until today.
*'''Hope's Shroud''' - The Freeblade known as Hope's Shroud pledged allegiance to Goge Vandire during the Age of Apostasy and given the task of killing Sebastian Thor. When Goge Vandire was killed and Sebastian Thor took over, Hope's Shroud swore to kill every last Sororitas. He succeeded in killing the Canoness Superior of all six main Orders. Nowadays Hope's Shroud regularly fights alongside the Word Bearers, and might be drawing its pilots from the Traitor Legion.
*'''Hatred of Krastellan''' - House Hawkshroud, following the Heresy, gave whoever was the pilot of the Hatred of Krastellan the shittiest jobs - killing allies suspected of betrayal, punishing planets which could not fulfil their Imperial Tithes, purging civilian populations that chose the wrong side in civil wars, that sort of stuff. Eventually the spirits inhabiting Hatred of Krastellan could take no more and went batspit bonkers, declaring itself the true High Monarch of Krastellan and beginning its long descent into Chaos. After slaughtering an entire planet ([[Derp|a magos from Mezoa was convinced that Knights couldn't fall to Chaos and told them fighting it would be treason, causing their armed forces to lay down their arms even as it killed them]]), HoK ended up allying with the Company of Misery warband and sending a challenge to [[Imperial_Knight#Freeblades|Sir Hekhtur the Chainbreaker]] to duel on a dead moon.
*'''Litany of Destruction''' - Once a pious if somewhat unhinged Freeblade called Living Litany, by unknown means the Knight turned to Chaos and became the Dreadblade Litany of Destruction, fighting alongside the Traitor Legions.
