Named characters and mount traits

[PiotrW]

Hello, guys!

I plan on playing my first AoS game tomorrow and I'm building a list... So far, I have some SCE to choose from, including Astreia Solbright. And here's a question:

The rulebook says named characters cannot take command traits and artifacts. What about their mounts, though? Astreia Solbright (who counts as a named character, of course) is riding her dracoline... which is also named. So, can I assign a mount trait to Astreia's mount, or is it not legal?

I'd really appreciate some help here

Named characters do indeed get mount traits, just as they can select spells. Mount traits are neither command traits or artifacts, just as spells are not.

@AverageBoss answer. The rules for named Characters only restrict command traits and artefacts.

You answered your own question - it's named, so no.
