How does giving a warlord trait to something that is not your warlord work with buffs that affect the warlord?
RAI is clearly that they benefit as though they were the warlord, but would RAW not mean that your actual warlord behaves as though they had multiple traits?

Say "add +1 A to your warlord's Attacks Characteristic.".
Wouldn't this technically buff whichever character was designated the warlord as opposed to the model that takes the trait via the statagem?

It literally says in the stratagem "(note that these models are only regarded as your Warlord for the purposes of these Warlord Traits)".

AFAIK GW hasn't messed this one up (yet), all "Give a character who isn't your warlord a Warlord Trait" has this wording to allow the Warlord Trait to work.

Thanks. Guess I should have known better to ask while still waiting on my own book..
