I ran this army this past weekend. Went 3-2(15th/50). The whole time I was really wishing I had some strategem or relic support in terms of anti Psyker, or perhaps the 2" reach strat.

looking at what you have there, I'd have run the list as Imperial Knights. You'd lose the double gatling guns sure (say One's a Battlecanon?) but get access to the IK strats, relics etc. proably be worth it in the short term well waiting for a Chaos Knight 'dex
Opinions are not facts please don't confuse the two

I've had that suggestion several times. I understand why. I'm just try to jam out some points for ITC RK. After this weekend and one RTT that hasn't posted yet I should be in top 3 for RK.

Same here, but I'm assuming by how well your knights have been modelled as Renegade Knights that it's the Questor Traitoris you prefer playing?

Perhaps, but more likely that it will just be new models. Time will tell.
If I was to build a pure Knight list before it would be Imperial, no doubt.
But if they keep the rules for Chaos Knights unit’s the same and give them a whole lot of new rules, I build chaos for the shear customization ability.
If the truth can destroy it, then it deserves to be destroyed.

There's no denying that an IK list would probably be stronger, but that's not always the most important thing about playing 40K.
The new Knight kit is named two ways. I feel like this means Chaos Knights are getting classes like crusader and gallant.
That means weapon restrictions to only certain models. Now not interested. Awesome looking stuff though.

The article does say that everything from the Index will be usable. I think their just pimpin some of the new new stuff. Gave everyone a Chaos themed name.
"In relating the circumstances which have led to my confinement in this refuge for the demented, I am aware that my present position will create a natural doubt of the authenticity of my narrative."
So let's look at our new chaos knights a moment shall we?
we're getting two,
the first is the Rampager
it looks like it's armed with a chain sword, thunderfist gauntlet and heavy stubber, nothing to see here. it's just a Gallent with spikes.
the second, the desecrator, is more intreasting
it's melee weapon is clearly a thunder fist gauntlet, but the rangerd weapon is a.. differant. That is NOT a RFBC. (you can tell it's not just a varient apperance by the lack of a heavy stubber in the shield BTW) It's something new. Maybe some sort of Autocanon?

It has power cells so some Uber-Las, or a Volcano cannon in miniature (barrel design)?

The cells imply energy weapon and yes the muzzle is reminiscent of volcano cannons. Presumably will be less powerful than the Castellan Volcano Lance though.
can neither confirm nor deny I lost track of what I've got right now.
