As probably all of you know, many of the DA HQs have a warlord trait from the DA codex assigned to them. I know it isn't possible to swap that out for a different DA trait, but I was wondering if they might be able to be traded for a roll on the BRB tables.

There are no mechanics for trading assigned warlord traits that I am aware of.

You can't sawp, I can't remember where i read it but if says something very close to "roll on the traits table for your warlord unless he has already has one" I would check DA codex under "using the army list.

I thought that was the case. I was just hoping that perhaps a more careful reader than myself would have found some kind of snarky loophole for me to use

Typically, that loophole is what will annoy your opponent more than give you any advantage. Like in real life, if you think you are "getting away" with something, its probably best you didn't dk it in the first place...

Anyway... You have the option of using the codex traits or the BRB traits unless otherwise restricted. Azrael specifically states he takes DA traits. The rest of the unique HQs have one pre-selected. The other ones leave the option open for either one. In other words, you must use a DIY master, chaplain, or librarian and choose which chart to use.

Perhaps "loophole" was a poor choice of words. I really wasn't trying to sneak my way into something unexpected, I was just hoping that it was an allowed thing that I had missed.

Thanks for the replies.

Pg 110 of the brb-Warlord traits special characters roll for warlord traits as normal, unless their profile specifically notes that they have a fixed warlord trait.

Knew it was somewhere.
