As an RK player, I was really hoping for additional warlord traits, strategems and relics in the 2018 CA. Is there any hope for it in future FAQ's?

There's a chance they might get something in the next Vigilus book.

I thought the next book was chaos?

We really don't know if GW has any plans to expand on Renegade Knights. Personally I think a full range of codex options is unlikely this edition.

To me it looks like they thought "ooh, if we throw together a quick index then more Chaos players will buy Knights', rather than seeing them as a full faction in the way Loyalist ones have become.

Never say never! But don't hold your breath either.

I also wouldnt hold my breath. Besides, the ability to kit your knights how you like makes up for lack of options greatly.

Household traits, worthwhile relics, and more than 2 stratagems are a lot to trade for the ability to double up on guns (which is a cool option, admittedly).

That's kinda what I was thinking. I personally would love a relic sword along with traits and a few more strats.

Just let them take a god keyword and the option to become deamons and they are perfect

Then you could summon one, right!?

I'm not sure it would be possible to roll high enough to get enough PL to summon a Knight even if they had the right Keywords.

It also wouldn't make any sense, as Daemon engines in general aren't summonable, it's something for pure true Daemons.

Yep. Not all DAEMON keyword units also have the Daemonic Ritual special ability. Probably the reason why this special ability for a CHARACTER is not part of those characters' datasheets, but part of the datasheets for the units that could be summoned using it.

Probably not. It'd be a Daemon in keyword only, not FACTION keyword. Meaning it only would apply to aura buffs and those sorts of things. It would still be hilariously good rerolling 1s from DPs, getting +1 Strength from Heralds, and getting all sorts of nasty psychic buffs from psychic powers.

I'd love this! Cast Miasma on a shooty knight, or Virulent Touch on a Gallant! +1 strength for knights near a Poxbringer. Knights and Daemons would go together like peas and carrots!
