Do imperial knights that are taken in an admech detachment using knight of the cog benefit from ik house traits.

My assumption is no but would love to be convinced otherwise.

You can’t put an Imperial Knight in an Adeptus Mechanicus detachment, so the question isn’t valid.

You take a super heavy auxiliary detatchment of imperial knights - this counts as agent of the imperium and benefits from being freeblades there's is ko way to benefit from mechanicus houses anymore

That is for matched play or battle forged though right?
You can put them together in some situations IIRC.

If you are playing an Arks of Omens game your Admech can take a super-heavy aux detachment of Imperial Knights, however this is required to be a freebalde unit, so the Knights of the Cog ability is irrelevent.

If you are playing a non-Arks of Omen game then for Knights of the Cog to work, the knight(s) must be in a Super-heavy Aux detachment and have a mechanicus household.

if your army isn’t battle forged, you don’t have detachments. Besides an Imperial Knight does not have the correct Keyword to be in an Adeptus Mechanicus detachment.

Ahh, they call it an "order of battle" in Crusade, not a detachment, even though they are basically the same thing.

Not quite.

In Crusade, your Order of Battle is basically just a roster of all the units that have joined your Crusade army. When you actually play a game, you still organize your units into Detachments.

Knight if the Cog literally states that if you take a detachment with this ability. Which admech have you can,

“Select one super heavily auxilary detachment and they have the knight of the cog”.

The question is does that detachment get to take houses or is it freeblade.

In AoO you can use a lord of war in an AoO detachment. But because the knight doesnt get any admech faction keyword you cant do that. KOTC says you can take a knight in a shaux detachment, not in the same admech detachment. If you do so it gets the KNIGHT OF THE COG keyword. AoO mission rules say you can include one FREEBLADE, so the knight gets both keywords. As a FREEBLADE it cant benefit from any house rules.

It does however benefit from the freeblade rules and isn't limited to mechanicus freeblade options as the knights codex grants it agents of the imperium

The question you asked and the one you meant to ask were very different questions.

That being said, Knight of the Cog has no impact on whether a Knight in a SHAD gains Household Traits. You decide if the Knight is a Freeblade or Household Knight. A Freeblade has a Martial Tradition. You can’t have enough Household Knights (3) in a SHAD to get a Household Tradition.
