==Warlord Traits== *'''Bane of Monstrosities:''' You can re-roll failed wounds rolls for your Warlord when attacking enemy {{W40kKeyword|Vehicles}} or {{W40kKeyword|Monsters}}. The former? Useful against Orks, Tau, Necrons, and Eldar. Monsters? Well, who else but Tyranids? Do note this is in no way restricted to Xeno units; the {{W40kKeyword|Vehicles}} keyword includes a great many Imperial and Chaos armies, and there are a good number of Chaos {{W40kKeyword|Monsters}} as well (looking at you, Daemons). Hilariously, Big Bobby G. himself is affected by this due to having the Monster keyword! *'''Lord of Hidden Knowledge:''' Once per battle, if your warlord is on the battlefield, you can re-roll a single hit roll, wound roll, damage roll, or saving throw made for your warlord. In addition, if your army is battle-forged, roll a d6 each time you use a Stratagem. On a 5, you gain a command point. Any Command Point recovery Warlord Traits is a valuable one, no matter what codex it gets copypasted into. *'''Castellan of the Black Vault:''' +1 damage to a weapon the Warlord Carries. Cannot be a relic, including the relic Banebolts of Eryxia. Interesting for a Storm Bolter or Master-crafted Auto Bolt Rifle. It can also turn your Captain's Thunder Hammer into something akin to a reliable Heavy Thunder Hammer. **Very useful for a Watch Master since the Guardian Spear is his only weapon and will benefit both for shooting and in melee, so it benefits the most and becomes very powerful. *'''The Watch Eternal:''' Friendly Deathwatch ''models'' within 6" of your Warlord don't lose their last wound on a 6. Only the last wound, so Primaris don't benefit that much, though it still gives your Apothecaries an easier time. Interestingly, it's ''not'' restricted to infantry, so roll for your tanks too. *'''Vigilance Incarnate:''' Once per battle, you can choose to swap out your army's current Mission Tactic for another one. It can only be used once, but unlike Adaptive Tactics it doesn't cost CP to use. While a bit of an overkill, putting this on a Watch Master with the Tome of Ectoclades can let you kill enemy brigades section by section. Watch Captain Artemis gets this trait. *'''Nowhere to Hide:''' Select an enemy unit at the start of each Shooting phase. That unit cannot claim cover against attacks made by Deathwatch ''units'' within 6" of the warlord. Since cover is usually +1 to saves, this can effectively turn your Kraken into [[Awesome|long-range-Vengeance]]. It also affects vehicles too. ''Suck on this, Markerlights''.
