While looking at the new Tyrannic War vets dataslate I noticed something odd. Chaplain Cassius has a warlord trait.

Each datasheet lists its Faction (the codex it is considered part of), and will present either an Army List Entry (the rules and point values for a single model, vehicle or unit) or a Formation (a specific group of models, vehicles or units that enable you to use special rules when you include them in your army).

The only two datachseets in this dataslate are for the Veteran unit army list entry and the Saint Tylus Battle Force formation. Why does Cassius have a warlord trait? He can only ever use that warlord trait if he is an HQ choice in your primary detachment. He is only listed as part of the Saint Tylus Battle Force formation in the dataslate.

Cassius Codex Copy Paste?

oh, is he in the codex? I completely gloss over the ultramarine characters.

Yeah, he's in the codex. So he has a warlord trait because the codex one does, which heads off "These two characters have different rules but the same name, can I field both?"
