No, the Grots should not have been fearless. Part of the confusion here is that the summary of Warlord Traits in the Codex: Orks reference section (p104) says all units with 'Ere We Go get Fearless, but the actual Warlord Trait table on p92 says all models with 'Ere We Go get Fearless, not units. Regardless, the codex says that only the Runtherd has 'Ere We Go, therefore the Grots doesn't get Fearless, but the Runtherd would. Grots would not get Furious Charge either, only the Runtherd has that.

I stand corrected on the Fearless special rule. As Mr. Shine and Yarium pointed out, if even one model in a unit has Fearless, the unit gets fearless. So even though the Grots don't have 'Ere We Go or Furious Charge, they are Fearless as long as the Runtherd is alive as koooaei said.

There is a bit of sloppy editing on the wording of the warlord trait. It is worded two different ways (on p92 and p104 of Codex:Orks). However, in this case it doesn't matter because the Runtherd has 'Ere We Go, therefore is Fearless, and therefore the Grots are Fearless too as long as he's alive. Go Grots!
