I'm just venturing into 40k and play orks. Moving forward I would love to convert and use a renegade knight in my list as chaos can be taken as an ally of convenience. Just wondering what kind of list would work best with a renegade knight?

Well, I'd probably pair it with a fast assault army, like a trukkspam or Blitz Brigade list which would keep up with him.

Definitely want that all melee build tho. Idk if it's actually good but flipping land raiders at people is too fething orky to pass up.

we already have that with liftadroppas. honestly I will probable be running 2 renegades beside a custom stompa with 7 meks and 4 lootaz inside for the lulz

Anyone have any thoughts on the best knight loadout to complement orks?

I was thinking the thermal cannon, since orks dont have melta, and low access to ranged AP1/2.

Would a weirdboy with cursed earth be usefull, or does it not work on the knight?

Its not deamon...

Another buff of the gauntlet, or intentionally charging through terrain, is that when you strike at I1, you can stomp first. This can be huuuuge, as if you charged say, a rhino through terrain you are now I1. Sure you could punch it out with your fist or chainsword, or even your basic S10 attacks if you don't have D weapons. If you stomp first, you can stomp around the knight and hit other units and whatnot, then you can easily finish off whatever you charged.

Juat use an orkanaut and say the chaos guys tricked the orks with some warp magic and made the knight look like an orkanaut. I' try a shooty one, with 24 S6 ap3 rending shots. Orks suck at shooting, so built them for assault and let the knight deal with the sooting.
