There are enough dead horses in this thread to supply an entire Mongol horde.

So you have a Craftworld trait that affects all your army... but it doesn't? It doesn't makes sense.
The rules just wouldn't have any pre-conditions like the SM ones. Just take them as they are.

No, it means they want to highlight that guardians are useful, too. Or are we just ingoring all the other things they say in the articles?

I'll go get the ketchup to eat with your hat.

I have found that if you look at the Trait/Strategim/Relic/Warlord trait they tend to work out fairly well. The sky isn't falling until you have the book in hand. The Legion trait isn't great for Iron Warriors, but their Relic and their Warlord trait are really solid choices.
Look at whole board.
I think this has mostly not been true. The SM codex is all about Ultramarines, with Raven Guard a distant second. Chaos lists are overwhelmingly Alpha Legion. AdMech basically forces you to play Mars.
Too much net listing on the brain. Abaddon is no joke. Neither is a DP that can't be picked out with a 2+ and healing 1 wound a turn.

And yet you can add 3 to a charge and reroll all hits if you're near an avatar.

The discussion you guys are having about which trait belongs to which is the exact same effin' discussion IG players were having. Catachans are about jungles not heavy weapons!

Actually, Catachan heavy weapon squads are a thing in the fluff. They're all monstrously strong.
Oh, i'm aware - that was supposed to be a quote.

Good question - sheer laziness?
Yes, because including all the possible options would have no consequences at all.

 Oh, so they can put point values on data sheets after all.
Why the  didn't they just do that in the first place, rather than fiddling about with an absurdist's nightmare of cross-referencing!
Because this model has no options?
