So my large blast template scattered astonishingly badly last night and hit my command group. Only his invulnerable save kept the warlord alive – which led me and my opponent to wonder what would have happened if he died? Would my opponent have achieved the Kill The Warlord victory condition because he was dead, or would that condition be lost because it wasn’t my opponent who killed him?

Read "Slay the Warlord" on pg 122. its very clear it doesn't care who kills it, just if the enemy warlord is dead at the end of the game.

Ah, we couldn't find that - but then we were using the smaller summary book. Thanks

Same information, same pages.

What is "the smaller summary book."?

The one that came with the starter set called Dark Vengeance, has the full rules and same page numbers as coredump has pointed out.

Yeah, a deep strike mishap can result in a slay the warlord claim. So could the rare circumstance of being in reserve when the game ends (ie aboard a flyer that just left combat airspace). Punking out on a Gets Hot roll could do it too.

Of course if any of those happened I'd start writing fluff for my new warlord.
