Age of Sigmar Skirmish Campaign Battle traits

[bigpoppanev@yahoo.com]

Hello all, I have a question about Battle traits allowed to be taken in a campaign.

One of our regulars has chosen a Disciples of Tzeentch army and has taken the Battle trait Masters of Destiny.

For such a small unit count game, this seems uniquely over powered, (he has a Gaunt Summoner with Familiars and basically erases units each turn), he is pretty much steam rolling over all the melee centered teams.

I can't seem to find it anywhere in the rules that says you can use Battle traits from sub factions, but I can't find it anywhere that he can't use it.

Could anyone offer clarification on this?

No he may not use it.

Page 16 of the Skirmish book, under the heading ALLEGIANCE ABILITIES:

"The units you choose to make up your warband may make it eligible for allegiance abilities from a number of different sources, such as battletomes and the General's Handbook.  However, in a Skirmish battle, your warband can only use the allegiance abilities of the Grand Alliance from which they hail."
