In this episode the King of Chaos Knights is back! Ratnu Vaidya went 7 and 0 to come second at the Leeds Supermajor. 300 players, 7 rounds against some of the very best in the world, and he did it with 4 big knights in an Infernal Lance list! We go game by game through some incredibly tough match ups to see how he did it, and break down his thinking and tactics and some of the key moments.
There's a LOT in here for both CK and IK players. Massive thanks to Ratnu once again for his time!

This is one hell of an episode. Special guest TJ Lannigan is the Lord of Chaos. We ask TJ to go through the World Eaters, Thousand Sons, Death Guard and Emperor's Children books and give us the tricks, the stratagems, and the stat lines of the best units as if they were playing into Knights. We ask him what our target priorities should be and what we can do against these incredibly tough armies. It's a gold mine of information from one of the best in the game!

This is another big episode! Dustin Hammond went to a 155 super major in North Carolina and won the whole thing, going 6 and 0. We talk about his list (which definitely has a few of the usual suspects missing) and go game-by-game through the event. Dustin has a heap of great tips, tricks and suggestions.
He also has a very cool 'origin story', which you can listen to in a lot more detail in this interview with Nick Nanavati on the Art of War 40k podcast.

About the podcast.
40k by Knight is all about helping Imperial Knights play better 40k. That's it. And we've assembled an amazing group of people to help with that mission. Each episode will do deep, answering a specific question and looking at all the different ways to break it down.
The team is:
Steve Joll. Compeitive IK player who hasn't yet cracked anything better than X and 1. Occasional winner of 'Best Painted Army'
Stig. Tabletop Tactics legend and IK enthusiast who gets to play our favourite army on one of the world's biggest 40k channels.
Brian Jones. Literally the best IK player in the world right now. Brian is an Art of War coach and member of the US national WTC team.
Rees Darvill. One of the best Imperial Knights players in the world. Current Number 1 in the ITC.
Ratnu Vaidya. The best in the world with Chaos Knights last ITC season, and off to a blazing hot start in 2025 with CK. Consistently finishing at or near the top of 40k events.
