→Chaos Knight Houses
[[Image:FallenKnightMaps.jpg|thumb|right|[[Fallen Knight World]]s across the [[Galaxy]] ]]
Two primary classifications of Renegade Knight Houses exist.
*'''Iconoclast Houses''' which have their roots in the [[Horus Heresy]] and originally consisted of Nobles who had been driven mad by their [[Throne Mechanicum]]. They are defined by their malice and madness and in place of honor they pursue only conquest. Many have long history's histories stretching back thousands of years.{{Fn|3c}} These Houses houses often ally with [[Chaos Space Marinechaos space marine]]s or declare fealty to only the [[Dark Goddark god]]s themselves.{{Fn|3b}}
*'''Infernal Houses''' are sworn to the [[Dark Mechanicum]] and maintain themselves on their Daemonic [[Forge World]]s. The Dark [[Tech-Priest]]s on these Worlds corrupt captured machinery, using base Human slaves as test subjects and often having them compete with one another for the right to pilot a Daemonic Knight. The Knights of Infernal Households are corrupted beyond repair.{{Fn|3b}}
