Urien Rakarth's warlord trait gives Fear, which all Coven units get turn 3. (Turn 2, in most cases.) So making him your warlord in a Covens list makes his warlord trait useless.

The RAW is clear, but it seems counter-intuitive that the "big nasty" of the supplement would have such a worthless rule. Did I miss anything?

Yes. You can take Urien in a non-Covenite detachment and his warlord trait is more useful.

**Ascalam**

You can take a tanked up covenite haemy as your warlord, which can be nastier than urien, and then have him tag along with some grotesques if he wants too. Much more effective..

PLEASE PROPERLY TITLE NEW THREADS IN THIS FORUM OR THEY WILL BE LOCKED!

Hello everyone,

There seems to be a bit of a rash of people starting forum threads in this forum that say things like:

'Would you allow this?'

or

'I need help with a couple things'

These thread titles are non-descriptive and don't allow people to know what the point of the thread is before clicking on it (which is therefore rude to everyone else)...not to mention these threads are terrible for using the search function to find later.

I've been trying to edit people's thread titles myself to add actual descriptions of what the thread is actually about, but as this behavior is getting more and more common, we're simply just going to start locking threads that have non-descript titles in this forum.

If you see a thread that has a non-descript title, please don't hesitate to click the 'notify moderator' button on any post in that thread (the little yellow icon with the exclamation mark in it) to point out that such a thread has been started.

If you are someone who has had your thread locked for having a non-descript title you have two choices:

A) You can start a new thread with a title that actually describes the point of your thread.
B) You can PM a moderator to have your thread re-opened and what you'd like the title of the thread changed to so as to actually make it describe the point of your thread.

Thanks!

GW seems to have started doing this alot lately. It is like they have decided Warlord traits aren't supposed to be useful, just fluffy.In Deathstorm Spawn of Crytpus has a PE warlord trait for himself only, but if you take the Phodian formation he is Warlord of, the whole formation has PE already.
