HQ choice in my Tyranid army. How would this unit interact with warlord traits, and slay the warlord?

Would my opponent be required to remove all 3 models, before gaining any victory points?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5818844.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5818844.page GMT Multiple model HQ units and related warlord issues.
1) Must have he highest LD skill

2) While also being an HQ choice.

3) in the event of a tie you pick a single model to be your warlord.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5819020.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5819020.page GMT Multiple model HQ units and related warlord issues.

But this is a single unit of 3 models. Would you still have to pick an individual model within the unit?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5819026.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5819026.page GMT Multiple model HQ units and related warlord issues.

IG CCS, you use the model with the highest leadership, or if they are tied (like Malanthropes) pick one to be your warlord.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5819037.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5819037.page GMT Multiple model HQ units and related warlord issues.

And since the Malanthropes don't have the MC(CH) unit type (I believe?), would that then mean, that you would be without a warlord?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5819534.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5819534.page GMT Re:Multiple model HQ units and related warlord issues.

And Malanthropes are nothing like Zoanthropes aside from they both float.

RAW you need another HQ. HIWPI one of the Malanthropes is the warlord. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5819703.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5819703.page GMT Multiple model HQ units and related warlord issues.

Yes, and also has to be a character, how I forgot that one I will never know. TY for the addition.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5819837.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5819837.page GMT Multiple model HQ units and related warlord issues.

No, not having a Warlord makes the army an illegal list, similar to having only a single troop.

I do agree with this as there is no Character model as the actual warlord.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5819959.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5819959.page GMT Multiple model HQ units and related warlord issues.

And can't be a warlord.

The Iyanden supplement "breaks" the rules, which of course is fine. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5820783.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/538220/5820783.page GMT Multiple model HQ units and related warlord issues.

RAW, no.
