Played a Game the other day.

Opponent had a Vexilus in an Auxilary slot; gave him the relic that makes IMPERIUM units immune to moral within 6," by declaring he was the Warlord (to get the Relic).

Other Detachment was CADIANS with the Strategy that gives Relics, so he could take the good ASTRA MILITARUM Relics.

Was this legit?

Thanks,
Samii.

Without going through the FAQs - yeah it looks 100% legal.

This is legit. All the free relic cares is what faction your Warlord is from, not that it's in any specific detachment. He wouldn't have access to Custard stratagems however. Since he has access to Astra Copywritum Stratagems, he can pay CP to get relics from them.

He's paying 4 command points for the privilege, so it's all good. -1 for the Custard, -3 for the Astra Copywritum relics.

The Death Guard FAQ gives us precedent:

Death Guard FAQ wrote:Q: If my army is led by a Chaos Space Marines Warlord, and I have a Detachment of Death Guard, can I use the Gifts of Decay Death Guard Stratagem to include a Relic on a Death Guard Character?
A: Yes. The only requirement to have access to Stratagems is that you have a Detachment of the appropriate Faction. If you have a Death Guard Detachment, you have access to their Stratagems.
