Both variants are able to benefit from Might of Heroes Psychic power, for an additional attack and strength (and toughness too). The Chaplain, clocking in at 115 as well, can, with the Mantra of Strength Litany, and the Benediction of Fury Relic, can also do 6 attacks at STR 7, but ap -2 and 4 damage. Jump Captain with Burning Blade and this trait has 6 attacks at STR 8, ap -5 and 2 damage a pop for 115 pts. The two that most gravitate towards are the Chaplain on Bike and the Jump Captain. This opens up some nice combos for some beat-stick characters. In addition, on the first round of combat, you get to add one to your Strength (STR) and Attacks. It allows the wielder to re-roll the charge roll (both dice). The Imperium’s Sword – While I typically am not a huge fan of traits that only benefit the wielder, for this one I make an exception.Unfortunately the other traits are simply much better, enemy units often have ways to bypass or negate LD tests, and other traits offer better buffs or more damage potential. This trait is not terrible, and if LD and Combat attrition tests mattered more, this could see some play. Meaning that for a unit not under half strength, a 1 or 2 will see a model run, while a 1, 2, or 3 will for a unit under half strength. Secondly, when making a combat attrition test, the Enemy units subtract one from the rolls made. Firstly, Enemy units within 6″ suffer a -1 to their Leadership (LD).
Fear Made Manifest (Aura) – This ability has two parts, both dealing with Morale checks.In a beautiful clarity, GW has also listed if an ability is an Aura, which will help clarify rules interactions. Note that Named Characters may not select these, but will have one specified for them. The following Warlord Traits (WL) are available to any Adeptus Astartes (read: Space Marine) Character who you choose to have as a warlord, either for your battle forged army or by using Hero of the Chapter Strat. Situational: This is a codex entry that may not pass as competitive on its own merits but can be made effective in a creative list, as a meta-buster, or in a specific combo or scenario where it ratchets up in power to potentially very high strength but otherwise will not be seen very often.Efficient: This is a codex entry that can stand on its own merit in a matched play list but works best when combo’d up with other units or in specific situations to become very powerful but may not always be seen.Competitive: This is a codex entry (unit, stratagem, item, etc.) that has a place in essentially any competitive list built with this faction regardless of unit choices or is the source of a significant force multiplication effect for other units.
