Master of Legion, Warlord, Rite of War

Does a model with the "Master of Legion" rule have to be your warlord in order to use a Rite of War?

 

Reading the rules it's a little confusing.  It says something along the lines of "if your warlord it have master of legion...."

Didn't know if that was just for the rolling twice on warlord table or for everything

 

For instance, If I wanted to have Crysos Morturg be my Warlord, for his trait.

Then I took a praetor, could I still take a Rite of War or would the praetor need to be my warlord?

After going back to re-read the rules in question, it doesn't look like you can do that. By my reading, while the Praetor and such have the Master of the Legion rule naturally, the only way to actually benefit from it is if that model is the army's actual warlord. So, unfortunately, while you could include Morturg and a Praetor in the same army easily enough, you can't have a Rite of War if Morturg is the warlord; the Praetor would have to be warlord to get you a Rite.

I had to ask this same question myself recently as well.  The way I have now been reading it is that you lose the 7th edition Master of Ambush (warlord trait) if you want another HQ with the MoL option for a RoW in the same list as Morturg.  I guess during 6th edition, the Master of Ambush rule wasn't as effective as it is in 7th.  So old lists with Morturg and a Praetor for Master of Legion to get a Rite of War was probably not a big loss without Master of Ambush.

 

Master of Ambush and The Reaping would be pretty interesting indeed :)  The inability to have both is probably a reason why you don't see him trolling the army list section I'd imagine.

Just getting the books I saw Master of Ambush and then the Reaping and thought "Holy crap that would be so much fun!"

Then rereading the Master of Legion rules, I started thinking I couldn't do it.  Like I said the wording is weird.

I'd love some solid clarification of yes or no.  Even though I think it's no....
