==Warlord Traits==

Aside from the unique warlord traits named character possess (detailed below), the Warlord Traits for Armored Battle Group Tank Commanders are as follows:

# '''Night Fighter''': Automatically Night Fighting on the first turn, with no need to roll. Meh.
# '''Disciple of Macharius''': A single vehicle squadron gains Outflank and Acute Senses. Pretty good, a good way to CREEEED! Hellhounds or Demolishers into advantageous positions.
# '''Icon of Imperial Glory''': Friendly units are Stubborn within 12" of the Warlord. Decent, especially when combined with regular guard tarpit blobs. Add a Commissar tank nearby to boost their leadership to 10.
# '''Tip of the Spear''': Warlord and all units within 12" can add D6 to Flat Out moves. Not bad, but not very exciting.
# '''Armored Assault''': The Warlord is a scoring unit. In 7E this should mean they get Objective Secured. It's always nice to have more superscoring units.
# '''Steel Juggernaut''': Gain a Victory Point for each enemy vehicle destroyed with a Ramming attack. Awful, as your warlord should generally be sitting in the backfield in a Vanquisher.

Overall interesting, but not nearly as flexible as the base Guard warlord traits. Sadly, you MUST take them; you can't even roll d3 on the main Guard table. For this reason it's probably a good idea to have your warlord be something, or some''one,'' else.
