So this weekend I saw an all Deathwing army that was 2000 pts, nothing but Termies and Belial. It was amazing.
Anyway, the owner of said models told me that he doesn't have to take 'The Hunt' (Belials assigned Warlord Trait) if he doesn't think that it would be useful. He could instead roll on the DA Warlord Trait list or the ones in BRB.
I told him that I don't think that was the case. Who was/is right?

I think if you are given a specific Warlord Trait you have to use it.
I think it says something to the effect of "Belial always gets 'The Hunt' as his trait" or something like that.

Your friend is mistaken. Belial has "The Hunt" and that's all he can ever have. However, he doesn't have to be the warlord. If you've got a Libby in terminator armour, he can be the warlord instead, and roll on the Dark Angels table.

Page 110 of the rulebook clearly states that Special Characters may have a specific, designated Warlord Trait, and if they do NOT, then they roll for one as normal.
Belial can only ever have The Hunt. However, as said above, unlike Azrael he does not have a rule saying he must be the Warlord. If you have another HQ with LD10 you can designate them as your Warlord instead.

Thats what I figured, thanks.
And I'm assuming that if your codex has a Warlord Traits table, like all of the new 6th ones do, that you if can roll for a trait, you have to roll on your codex specific one. Is that correct?

No, if you have a codex table you don't have to roll on it IIRC, its optional.

I only have the new CSM codex, so I dunno if it's the same for DA (although I imgine it is) but it says that you can roll on either the C: CSM one or the rulebook one.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Surely that's irrelevant when the trait is chosen for you before the game starts?

What? Yes, it's only for those who roll. That was already covered.
