Hey guys,

I've been looking through some HQ choices for my Space Marines and one some of them (for example, High Marshal Helbrecht), it lists a Warlord Trait on his page. Do this mean that I must have that Warlord Trait if they are my Warlord? Or is it a case of "You can have this Warlord Trait, or you can roll on a Warlord Table of you choice."?

Cheers Guys

You must use that warlord trait

Yeah, surprisingly under 'Warlord Traits and Unique Units' in the rulebook:

"Many Unique Independent Characters are listed as having a specific Warlord Trait in their Army List Entry. If such a unit is your Warlord, do not roll on a Warlord Trait table – instead, that unit automatically has the listed Warlord Trait."
