Hydra warlord trait

[Bohxim]

The newly leaked hydra WL trait says "at the start of the command phase, this warlord can regenerate itself.......this warlord can only regenerate itself once per turn."
Since a battle round consists of 1 of yours and 1 of opponent's turns, each with its own command phase; Does this imply that the hydra warlord trait can regenerate itself twice a battle round?
Because the strategem rapid regeneration specifically mentions "your command phase"

Otherwise I don't see what it needs that last sentence

This definitely needs an FAQ but I'm leaning towards RAW being both command phases.

If it said "in each" it would obviously be both.

If it said "in your", well, obviously just your own.

It just says "the" though. Well, it is THE Command Phase in both player turns. RAW, I don't see an argument against using it in your opponents phase. RAI... who knows. I do notice that OOE's also specifies your Command Phase. I can see some people arguing that the different choice of words was intentional and therefore OF COURSE the designers meant both, and then I can see other people arguing that OOE and Rapid Regeneration can only be done in your turn so OF COURSE that means it's s mistake.

As with so many of these things... talk to your opponent about the ambiguity, if you can't agree then Most Important Rule it, and wait for an FAQ.

The once per turn is to prevent it from combo-ing with Rapid Regeneration. Old One Eye has the same clause under her Regeneration ability.

RAW it will trigger that the start of each command phase. All of the Tyranid regen abilities/stratagems have the once per turn clause, and it stops the combo mentioned above.

Tin foil hat here: it just means 10th ed. will have a single command phase at the start of each battle round where both players use their command phase abilities, doing away with turn-1 gotchas where alpha-strikes can circumvent defensive abilities that are activated in the defending player's command phase.

I have absolutely no information to back that claim up other than firmly hoping that 10th ed. is just around the corner to do away with the recent silliness of ignoring invuls, trans-human this and that and what not.

I doubt 10th is just around the corner, CSM still haven't gotten their codex yet and the rumour is that marines will get another.
I like transhuman and the new version for hits that the custodes blade champ and Harlequins have. Not a big fan of ignoring invulns at long range, having abilities to turn them off at close range (max 6-12") is interesting as it involves some risk and the defending player has a chance to avoid danger.
I hope 10th is a while away yet seeing as our 9th codex isn't even out yet.

It's not just CSM. Did you forget about our humble AM and Knights? If the power creep curve will be the same, Astra Militarum will be kicking a$$es like crazy. 30 shot Punishers, 3+ invul Ogryns, FRFSRF doing a bazilion shots, deepstriking Baneblades... I'm worried about our bugs tbh

Dont worry a single gaurdsman will cost 9-10pts base lol

Deepstriking Baneblades? That's impossible, it would take a tactical genius to-

-CREEEEED!!!
