- The unit consists of 4 Blightlord Terminators and 1 Blightlord Champion.
- All models in the unit have the keyword Blightlord Terminators (not Blightlord Terminator, they have plural keyword "Terminators")
- Under Wargear Options it reads "For every five models in the unit, one Blightlord Terminator may replace their combi-bolter and bubotic axe, or combi-bolter and balesword, with a flail of corruption."

I'm confused by the unit model names, keywords, and wargear options. The Champion has the keyword "Blightlord Terminators" but his model name is Blightlord Champion, and the wargear option says Blightlord Terminator can take a flair of corruption.


Can a Blightlord Champion be armed with the Flail of Corruption because he is part of the unit of Blightlord Terminators, or because he's technically a Blightlord Champion and not a Blightlord Terminator model he can't take that option?


I've got a couple of boxes of Blightlord Terminators and I'm hoping I can make the champion have the flail for the 3D3 Hit Rolls instead of 2D3 on the normal terminators

It's not referring to a keyword, keywords are always in the bold upper case font. Look at the Silent Bodyguard rule for Deathshroud Terminators and note how Death Guard Character is typed. Those are keywords.

The wargear options refer to the model name, which means that the Champion can't take a flail, which is a real shame.

Names are like so "Blightlord Terminator".

Keywords are like so "BLIGHTLORD TERMINATORS".

If a rule refers to "Blightlord Terminator", it's the model name. If a rule refers to "BLIGHTLORD TERMINATORS", it refers to the keyword.
