Okay, cool.  That's what I thought.

I will bet someone a burrito that the Iyanden supplement will allow you to make your Wraithknight the warlord WITHOUT making it an HQ.

Using the rules in Iyanden allows you, for example, to take a Wraithknight as your Warlord. If that's not a fearsome prospect for your opponents to face then I don't know what is. There are also Iyanden-specific Warlord traits and the option to take a council of Spiritseers, plus three new battle missions and five scenarios to fight with your army. There are even stratagems for Cities of Death and Planetstrike for you to use on an unsuspecting enemy.

When you start talking about mission types, cities of death, planetstrike and strategems, this has me worried about the rules content.  No one uses those rules.  How "legit" are options, such as taking your wriath knight as an HQ going to be?

There is a difference between warlord and HQ, m i rite?

Not really.  Or, specifically, you have to be an HQ first to be the warlord.  Not really the point, anyway.

Yeah, there is no chance that there could be a rule that makes and exception to that.  I mean the rule leak clearly stated HQ and not warlord.  Not the opposite, m i rite?

I'm trying to be optimistic.  :)

I'm not really sure what you're making a stink about.  But no, I rate almost no chance that you'll be able to have it be a warlord without being an HQ.

None of which is my point, my point is when you start bringing up strategems, new missions types, plaentstrike, I start to think it's "fake" rules rather than "canon" rules....i.e. rules that will never get used.

I wonder if it's just more poor wording on the part of GW or if it's intended.
I'm certain that the poor wording is intended.

there is a human pilot inside and aspirit pilot. It could be possible for them to switch it and only allow the 1 in the hq slot.
