Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Imperial Knights (section)

===={{W40Kkeyword|Questor Imperialis}}====
The Imperialis Allegiance Oath grants an additional 1" to advance and charge rolls, but this is not cumulative with any other sources.

* '''{{W40Kkeyword|House Cadmus}} - Hunters of the Foe:''' Allows re-roll wound rolls of 1 in the Fight phase targeting anything under 12 wounds.
**Against T4 and below this almost guarantees that your stomp attacks will get through, and re-rolls to wound against high wound, high invulnerability save models like Guilliman will ensure that your assaults will not falter.
* '''{{W40Kkeyword|House Griffith}} - Glory of the Charge:''' Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic of a model during any turn in which it charged or performed a Heroic Intervention - in addition a model with this Household Tradition can perform Heroic Interventions as if it were a Character. 
** Now that blast weapons aren't a thing anymore there's no reason not to mob up the table with a blob of Knights, all of whom should be in range to make Heroic Interventions. Also remember that as {{W40Kkeyword|House Griffith}} you can make '''15''' stomp attacks, ''18 for Gallants''.
* '''{{W40Kkeyword|House Hawkshroud}} - Oathkeepers:''' Wounds count twice as many for the purposes of your Damage Chart.
**A useful trait to have in any battle, but especially useful against opponents who will try to incapacitate your knight in a single strike, or against things like other knights who charge you and get all their attacks in before you can make your response. 
**Probably one of the best traits in the codex. The loss of effectiveness from damage can really gimp your knight, but if your enemy has to deal 18 wounds to your Questoris, 21 to your Dominus and 9 to your Armigers to even drop their statistics by one point, it means you can survive far longer putting out higher damage, and give you a definite edge against other knight armies, or armies that kill you with chip damage.
* '''{{W40Kkeyword|House Mortan}} - Close-Quarters Killers:''' Add 1 to hit rolls in the Fight phase for attacks made by a model with this Household Tradition during any turn in which it charged, was charged, or performed a Heroic Intervention.
**Makes up for the minus one to hit of the gauntlet, and with a knights high movement speed you can reliably position yourself to make the charge:
* '''{{W40Kkeyword|House Terryn}} - Gallant Warriors:''' When advancing or charging, roll an extra D6 and drop the lowest. <s>Pretty underwhelming on anything that isn't built for melee</s> The basic Knight Paladin has 2D6 shots, but kicks 12 times in melee. Since Knights are like tanks that can stomp and have giant chainswords, you're missing out when they aren't in melee. Unless tactics dictate keeping your distance is better, where this Tradition also aids your escape if the enemy gets too close. Furthermore, attacking first is incredibly important for Knights and other big things that degrade after taking damage, so a better charge can be the difference between victory and defeat.
