Possible Warlord Traits

[onlinemph]

I have been thinking about the possible Warlord traits 'Nids may get when the sixth edition codex comes out. I realize that it's far off, but there's always time to wish list.

Now with that said, I would imagine there would be a lot of deployment manipulation in the warlord traits, but what about extra bio-morphs and things like that? I would imagine the 6 inch Preferred enemy bubble you can buy for the Hive Tyrant would be on the Warlord trait table.

But anyway, post any ideas you had for the chart.

Probably one that boosts Synapse range or it's effect in some way.

[Jabberwocky]

I expect an equivalent to each of old adversary, hive commander, swarm leader and alien cunning.

Maybe let 1 unit that has arrived from reserves or infiltrated turn one assault.

We will have to see how many options we lose as standard though to see what we can gain back.

Most of the army specific ones aren't as good as the BRB ones.

Maybe one of them can be as written in fluff - the Warlord can ignore challenges and still participate in battle (like the Skaven from Fantasy).

[jhussey]

I think that if the unit has no shooters (genestealers, Raveners, hormies) then allowing them to run and assault, or assault right out of outflank, deep strike, ambush whatever would be nice.

[Jabberwocky]

There's a +1" to charges trait, maybe we will get a +1d6 at the cost of shooting or some such

[elitemaster]

all units get a D3 extra movemment

all units have 6+ FnP

or all units count as beasts and thier unit type

[genestealerdude]

The Swarm Consumes - Each Objective Controlled Generates 1x d6 Hormagaunts (eggs that have been lain, similar to brood-nest)

Shadow of the Hive Mind - Whilst Warlord is alive every enemy psykers on the board is affected by the Shadow in the Warp regardless of range

Genestealer Cult (Wish-listing Time) - The Warlord rolls, every game turn on a d6, result of 6 a Genestealer brood arrives within 6" of any objective with the ability to charge. In Purge the alien this trait is worthless (much like other skills)

Can't think of owt else

That's broken, can you imagine if Runes of Warding affected the entire board?

Oh wait...
