==Warlord Traits==

<tab name="Tau Empire">
#'''Precision of the Hunter''': This model can re-roll all hit and wound rolls. You can probably guess that this is great for beatstick commanders.
#'''Through Unity, Devastation<sup>Aura</sup>''': While a friendly {{W40Kkeyword|<SEPT> CORE}} unit is within 6” of the warlord, when a {{W40Kkeyword|CORE}} model in that unit makes a ranged attack, 6s to wound have -1AP.  Thoroughly worthless, which is a shame since Aun'Va is stuck with this.
* Arguably this WLT has much more value in a post-Armour-of-Contempt game, where your Pulse Rifles have now gone back to not even scratching a Space Marine's armour. Still, you have better options
#'''A Ghost Walks Among Us''': Attacks against the warlord have -1 to hit, and the warlord auto-advances 6”. Darkstrider uses it, and probably has the most need for it as a Fireblade.
#'''Through Boldness, Victory''': In your command phase, pick a friendly {{W40Kkeyword|<SEPT> CORE}} unit within 9”. Until the start of your next command phase, when a {{W40Kkeyword|CORE}} model in that unit makes a ranged attack, 6s to hit autowound.  Can be very good, but always make sure you don't accidentally mix this with any abilities that trigger on successful wound rolls - for example, this will ''reduce'' the output of Railsides who didn't take a second weapon against all possible targets. Longstrike uses this.
#'''Exemplar of the Kauyon''': After the first turn roll, select one friendly {{W40Kkeyword|<SEPT>}} unit, or up to three if you selected Kauyon. Redeploy those units or place them into strategic reserves without spending CP. Shadowsun uses this.
#'''Exemplar of the Mont’ka''': In your command phase, pick a friendly {{W40Kkeyword|<SEPT> CORE}} unit within 9”. Until your next command phase, when a {{W40Kkeyword|CORE}} model in that unit makes a ranged attack against an enemy unit within 9”, or within 12” if you selected Mont’ka, you can re-roll the wound roll. Farsight uses this, which is really for the best.
#*''Absolutely, utterly fantastic.''  Full re-rolls to wound are the stuff dreams are made of, and deft use of this Warlord Trait will win you games.  Using this to buff a max-size unit of Crisis each with 3 flamers will murder a truly impressive amount of stuff.

<tab name="Kroot">
#'''Master of the Hunt<sup>Aura</sup>''': While a friendly {{W40Kkeyword|KROOT}} unit is within 6”, when a model in that unit makes a ranged attack against an enemy unit within 12”, that enemy does not gain the benefits of cover.  Worthless.
#'''Pack Leader<sup>Aura</sup>''': While a friendly {{W40Kkeyword|KROOT}} unit is within 6”, roll an extra D6 for their charge rolls and discard one of the dice.
#'''Nomadic Hunter<sup>Aura</sup>''': While a friendly {{W40Kkeyword|KROOT}} unit is within 6”, each time a model in that unit makes a ranged attack, if that unit did not fall back this turn, it is treated as stationary.  Fantastic for supporting Carnivores and Krootox Riders on the move, ''provided'' you can keep the Shaper in position, which is ''difficult'', as the Shaper may roll poorly on its Advance rolls.
