morroccomole Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I recently picked up the datacards from my FLGS, and they come with the new Mont'Ka warlord traits. One really piqued my interest, where your warlord gets +2 BS and his unit gets +1 BS. Right away, I thought of the utility if you applied this to a Lord Commissar/Yarrick warlord, crammed into a 50 man blob. Another use could be in a tank command squadron, since an effective Warlord BS of 6 would make taking template Russ variants much more appealing, and his squadron mates would also have improved hits. Something like the battletank as warlord, and two executioners as the unit. Alas, I don't have the Mont'ka book, so I don't know if these are even possible. I'm inclined to believe that these warlord traits only apply to Cadian Formations. Thoughts? Comments?

WarriorFish Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 They're part of the Cadian formations, so only apply to them as far as I'm aware. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317367-cadian-datacards/#findComment-4257230 Share on other sites More sharing options...

morroccomole Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Tank Commanders can only roll a d3 on the standard Guard traits table. On this point, I'm hoping for one of two things: we get more vehicular warlord traits in the new codex rumored for release in Q1 2016; or that they put a cookie cutter vehicle warlord traits table in the next edition. There's a lot of potential there, which isn't really encapsulated in the three traits we get now.
