My question is can the bane knights vengeance attack be affected by any spells or abilities. I know speed buffs wont work on them. But for example what about bane lord tartasauce curse ability(+2 to melee attack rolls). Will that affect the attack as it does say a "normal attack" in the ruling, I am not to sure though as its a little ambiguous to me?

Yes it will. Its just things that only come into effect during a model's activation that won't work. Like special attacks or actions.

Or if the ability for some reason would expire before the Knights get their vengence move.

It all depends on how long the spell/ability lasts as vengeance happens in your maintenance phase.

Theoretically: yes.

In practice: since the Vengeance move + attack happens during the maintenance phase, practically only upkeep spells will be in effect by then, other spells and abilities will already have expired or won't be in effect yet. Case in point: Tartarus curse ability will only be in effect after its activation, so the Bane Knights won't benefit from it during the vengeance move.

Ah yes I see. So the effect would have to last longer than a turn for anything with vengeance to get the buff. Cheers for the info guys, greatly appreciated.
