Jolemai Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 In your army, who is your choice to have a Warlord Trait and why? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262195-warlord-traits/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHarrower Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I usually one take 1 HQ, so that's the person that gets it. If I have an HQ that is going to be in close combat, I'll roll a personal trait. If I have an HQ that I plan to sit back more with (like a Librarian with Prescience) I'll roll a strategic trait.

Jolemai Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 I see. What if you took a second one? Say a Special Character and a normal one, would the Special Character get it regardless, or would it still depend on your plans for them?

Morollan Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 It has to go to the HQ with the highest Ld so it's only a choice if you have 2 or more with the same LD.

Chaplain Admetus Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 So, its always a choice, as our HQs are Ld 10 across the board unless you're running DC Tycho.

Xenith Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Mephiston gets personal. Always. My librarian gets either command or strategic depending on the opponent, objectives and terrain. Generally I find personal the best, as BA already get furious charge and stuff from priests.

JamesI Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 My lists tend to have Dante and a Librarian or Tycho and a Librarian. I always give the warlord trait to Dante or Tycho as it seems more appropriate than giving it to the librarian. As to what I roll, it depends. Almost always I forget about them anyway.

Deschenus Maximus Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 A simple question, but a complex answer. It will all depend on 1) who the characters are and 2) what the army build is. For example, if you have say a Reclusiarch and a Libby, both with jump packs, in an all jump pack army, you might as well give it to the Reclusiarch since he will be tougher to kill. On the flipside, if you have an army that is more shooting-oriented, with a lot of units that would benefit from the Traits in the strategic table, give it to the libby and stick him out of sight somewhere.

There is the cheeky, gamey aspect to this. If you make the cheap librarian your warlord, you can send Dante on warlord assassination runs without fear of retribution, as if he dies taking down the enemy warlord you don't give up that particular VP of your own.

I know, I just feel cheap doing that. Also, my ICs play very aggressively, so Dante is far more survivable than a librarian.

DominicJ Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Agressive get personal, defensive get strategic.

Demoulius Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Generally always (well always, only played a few games so far...) with the "roll 2 dice, pick highest for run" or the "+1 to your charge range" and I ALWAYS forget about them <_< always find out after the game I had an extra inch of breathing space on charges... Same goes for the run, people alwaysh ave to remind me when im running... "dude, roll 2 pick highest" Oh...right :D i dont know it feels kinda stapled on atm. Some of the powers are WAY more usefull then others... Abit unbalanced if you ask me...

Chaplain Admetus Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 ^this is exactly my problem. It can be very polarising. One player gets warlord is a scoring unit, whilst the other has his non-existent outflanking units getting acute senses. A space wolf player nets his unit counter-attack in his own DZ, whilst his opponent's Ghaz gets a bonus VP for everything he kills in a challenge. Or whoever deploys second getting princeps of deceit. It just seems a little unbalanced to me that one player can get an absolutely godly warlord trait, whilst the other player's one is literally useless. I usually roll on either command or strategic. Personal seems a bit weak for a librarian. There's some decent options in both others though; I'll usually take command, because there's no 'dead' traits there, whereas the strategic table ones are more powerful, but there's a chance I'll get a useless trait.

Mezkh Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I always go command, best table to roll on. I can't remember what the others do ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262195-warlord-traits/#findComment-3194070 Share on other sites More sharing options...
