Searched around YMDC, and couldn't find this, apologies if it's been asked before.

With the Iyanden Supplement you can roll a warlord trait that gives your warlord the Spirit Mark special rule.
Spirit Mark says you nominate an enemy unit within 12" of the Spirit Seer for wraith unit re-rolls.

Does this mean that my Non-Spiritseer Warlord can Spirit Mark an enemy unit within 12" of any Spiritseer in my army?

Scenario: If my Wraithknight is the warlord and gets Spirit Mark and a Spiritseer is elsewhere on the field, can I Spirit Mark two units within 12" of the Spiritseer?


Additionally, what happens if your army does not have a Spiritseer?

Or do people generally just ignore the wording for this rule and change it to say the name of whatever model has the rule?

COntextualy it is the model possessing the rule, otherwise your non-spiritseer does not get to use the rule. "The" spiritseer is clear context.

That's also how I was considering playing it. It seems strange that GW wouldn't bother re-wording that, especially considering they wrote out the entire rule again in the supplement IN the rule that says your warlord gets spirit mark, and STILL specified "the spiritseer". I was just wondering if that was deliberate or just lazy.

Yeah, the RAW are broken for non-spiritseer warlords (it would literally do nothing). But the intent is very clear that spiritmark is supposed to work for non-spiritseer warlords, otherwise the clause about Spiritseers getting to target two units wouldn't make any sense.
