If I have two relics that both allow me to roll a D6 when my opponent uses a strategem, and on a 5+, gain a command point, do I roll two dice each time? Do these relics stack?

Yes, you get to use the special rules for both relics. However, can you tell us exactly what two relics they are, just in case there is some weird interaction?

The Veritas Vitae (Blood Angels)

And the Grand Strategist Warlord Trait.

I understand one is a trait and one is a relic, was still worried they wouldn't stack. I also understand they work slightly differently, one works per point spent, the other per strategem.

You couldnt mix them if you wanted to. The warlord trait means your warlord is AM and im fairly certain you can only choose a relic from a codex if your primary detachment is from that codex. Which means you cant have a BA relic.

Yo only get a free relic from your warlords detachment. You can happily pay fir a relic from anyone else's (presuming you have that strat)

Yes, as seen in the Codex Death Guard FAQ:

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.

**Lance845**

I stand corrected. It is possible to have a BA relic with a AM WL if you spend the cp to purchase one.

At which point, both would trigger per their individual rules.

**U02dah4**

If you check them again one gives you a 5+ for each command point and one gives a 5+ per strategem used.

So they are slightly different

A 1 cp strategem gives you 2 rolls
A 3 cp strategem gives you 4 rolls
