The Rampager is a brutal war engine used by the Traitor Legions of Chaos in Warhammer 40,000, typically associated with the World Eaters, the bloodthirsty followers of Khorne. It is a variant of the Chaos Knight, a towering war machine powered by the rage and bloodlust of its pilots, who are often mad with the thirst for battle. The Rampager is specially designed for close combat, making it a terrifying force on the battlefield.
Unlike more conventional Knights, which balance ranged and melee capabilities, the Rampager is all about getting up close and personal. It is equipped with brutal melee weapons, such as a massive chain-glaive or Reaper chainsword, and an enormous thunderstrike gauntlet, designed to tear through the toughest armor and rip apart enemy vehicles, fortifications, or even other Titans.
Its role on the battlefield is that of a berserker engine, charging directly into enemy lines to smash and butcher anything in its path. Driven by the unrelenting hatred and aggression of its pilot, the Rampager doesn’t concern itself with tactics or defense—it exists solely to kill. The machine’s bloodlust is often enhanced by the daemonic forces bound within its frame, adding a supernatural ferocity to its rampage.
The sheer power and terror induced by the sight of a Rampager charging into battle makes it a favorite among Chaos forces, especially in the legions dedicated to Khorne, where it epitomizes the glory of slaughter. It strikes fear into both the enemies of Chaos and, at times, the allies of the Ruinous Powers, as its rampage can be uncontrollable, leaving carnage in its wake.
In essence, the Rampager is the embodiment of Khorne’s brutal philosophy—kill, maim, burn—wrapped in a monstrous, blood-hungry machine. Its presence on the battlefield signals utter devastation, as it tears through enemy lines, unstoppable and unrelenting.
