Two small questions for warlords in the new Dark Angels codex:

1) If I take Sammael in the landspeeder and any other HQ, can Sammael be the warlord? (I'm referring to the BRB p. 111 where the highest leadership HQ must be the warlord)
2) Azrael's Combi weapon, it doesn't say "One Shot" is this just an oversight or is it implied by the nature of a combi-weapon?

I'd say this is the same as if you have Bjorn as a HQ selection for the space wolves. Unless he is the only HQ selection then you have to go to any other HQ choice that has a leadership characteristic.

Azrael's combi weapon looked special to me why I read it the first time but that was a while ago and my book is packed up with the rest of my 40k stuff.

1) eh...not touching that one

2) Combi weapons secondary firing modes are one-shot due to the rules of combi-weapons, not the rules of the secondary weapon. If you look at even the weapons listed under the combi weapons entry in the BRB, you'll see none of the profiles are listed as "one-shot". It's in the rules for combi weapons themselves.

Thank you guys for the quick responses.

1) He has no Ld stat, so cannot be the warlord by the normal rules if htere is another HQ warlord capable unit around.

If you have azrael he automatically has to be warlord because of his special rule
