In the grim darkness of the far future, duty is eternal.

Thematically, House Hawkshroud are the broest of the Knight Houses, often sending out Knights to help others. 

On the tabletop, Hawkshroud still fight harder longer thanks to their Household Tradition. Meanwhile, their strat and relic has been re-worked in 9e.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
'''Household Tradition - Oathkeepers:''' Still has wounds count twice as many for the purposes of your Damage Chart, but you now count as having +1 more Honour point than you really have, letting you edge into Virtuous perks so long as you aren't Dishonoured.
*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.

'''Warlord Trait - Duty of Forsworn:''' Pick an enemy unit at the start of the game. Your Warlord adds +1 to all hit rolls against that unit.
*Not always great, but put this on a Castellan and pick the biggest baddest thing they have and watch the look of fear on your opponent's face as you tell him your Volcano Lance is hitting on 2's. This is especially something to consider with certain Vows and Secondaries.

'''Relic - Angel's Grace:''' {{W40Kkeyword|Questoris-Class}} or {{W40Kkeyword|Armiger-Class}} knights only. Get a straight up 5+++ against mortals AND a 6" aura that grants the 5+++ against mortals to Armigers. Much improved over the older version.

'''Stratagem - Staunch Allies (2 CP):''' Now changed in 9e, you can no longer surprise people with an overwatch ambush. Instead, select one model 12" away from a model of yours that is being charged. You can perform a 6+D6" Heroic Intervention, which is incredible range and stacks with any other bonuses you may have for HI's.
*Stacks perfectly with Defend Those in Need, as the Honoured ability lets all your knights Heroically Intervene.
