Two questions:

1.) A lot of the characters list a warlord trait in their entry. Do they always have this ability, or do they only get it if they are your warlord? It seems to me like they should only get it if they are your warlord, but I can't see where it says that anywhere.

2.) Dark Reapers can take Starshot missiles and it does not say they lose their Starswarm Missiles. Do they get both? Also, the Exarch exchanges his Reaper Launcher for an Eldar Missile Launcher with Starshot and Plasma Missiles, so it seems like a weird inconsistency to me.

Anyway, thanks for your posts, I apologize if I missed an obvious rule somewhere.

On the warlord traits matter : they get this trait automatically IF they're the warlord. Asurman for example has a rule saying that he HAS to be the warlord if he's in your primary detachment.
Dark reapers get a second profile they can choose to shoot. The point in taking the missile launcher is having the plasma missile instead of the starswarm profile, and being able to take flakk missiles.
