How about the Necron one that lets you reroll morale, pinning, etc within 12" of the warlord... Because Ld10 isn't enough

Personally Im still a huge fan of getting +1 Strength on my S5 Warboss who is equipped with a powerklaw, because PowerKlaws are literally the only way to equip Ork Characters.

Ive watched a couple Bat Reps where people give there Warboss's and nobz Big Choppas thinking they are being Kunning. They usually think that until they lose all there guys without inflicting any real dmg on the enemy

+¹ Strength is decent on Big Mess and other s4 pk guys as with Furious charge they'll be S10. Wasted on Warboss

Harlequins have some of the most crazy warlord traits in the game, for example
- +4 to a seize the initiative roll
- Warlord and his/her unit have an extra turn after the game has ended
- Add or minus 2 to whether or not the game ends is freaking huge
- D3 Units can choose to scout/Infiltrate or deepstrike (in any combination)
- If your warlord dies in a challenge roll off to see if the warlord's opponent suddenly implodes...

The worst warlord trait... maybe Blood Dancer for Dark Eldar:
- +1 WS? But most Dark Eldar have a decent WS anyway and are already hitting on 3's (succubus goes from WS 8-9 so maybe some value?)
- Eldar Warlord getting split fire is...kinda meh
- Necron Honourable Combatant... forced to issue and accept all challenges (only here because of miniwargaming, a poor overlord was forced to challenge Vulkan lol)
- Implacable Conqueror, Necrons again and they get Relentless and crusade... hope your one of the 5% of Necron players not using a Decurion

The worst warlord trait is what Perigrine mentioned already. It gives literally 0 benefits.

The worst one straight up is from CSM's that provides Fear or the PE bubble.

I like the PE bubble. There are more space marines in our reality than there are in the reality of the 41st millennium.

It would be good if these traits were rolled into one. Against marines you get PE, against non marines you get fear.

As Perigrine said there is the Armoured Battlegroup one which makes your already scoring warlord..... A scoring unit!

Aside from that there are some that vary depending on your Warlord, such as the one that gives your Warlord and unit outflank..... Great on a melee unit, terrible on a Tank commander.
