If you take a named IC with a warlord trait in an allied detachment, I'm guessing you can't use their warlord trait as a 1) an ally can't be a warlord, 2) your primary detachment warlord already has a trait, and presumably you can only have one per army?

But i haven't read this while glancing through the rulebook, wanted to double check.

Cheers

Warlord Traits are comparable to Chapter Tactics (C: SM). While any number of HQs can have one your army only benefits from one (whichever one your Warlord has).

And your Warlord has to be from a Primary detachment.

All being an IC that has a set warlord trait does is it means that if that guy is the Warlord he can automatically have that trait instead of rolling normally.

Substitute "must" for "can".
