Hey All,

i was looking for a rules clarification

While building my Tanky Bladed Cog Abdom i ran into a snag..

Can an Abdominant Take the Born survivor Warlord trait? I vaguely remember that warlord couldn't take traits that already allowed them to re-roll the same thing but does that count for stacking Damage Reduction as well? (it might not even be a rule)


BORN SURVIVOR

Perhaps gifted with regenerative powers by the immortal Hive Mind, this warlord can shrug off even the most crippling of injuries to fight on.

Reduce any damage inflicted on your Warlord by 1 (to a minimum of 1). For example, if your Warlord fails a saving throw against an attack that inflicts 3 damage, they will only lose 2 wounds.

Bestial Vigour: When inflicting damage on this model, reduce the Damage characteristic of the attack by 1 (to a minimum of 1). In addition, roll a D6 each time this model loses a wound; on a 5+ that wound is not lost.

Thanks

If a model has multiple abilities that allows it to ignore wounds it can only use one of them. Reducing damage is not the same as ignoring wounds. Yes, you can use both on your Abdominant.

As p5freak says, reducing damage is not the same as an "Ignore Wounds" effect.
