How are you going to use Allies?

[daboarder]

I'm going to be modelling up a competitive tournament army based on the dark mechanicus, going to be either Mech or foot slogging depending on which is more appropriate with the new rules, think chaos Iron hands. its going to run with some allied traitor guard that will be based on traitor vostroyan's.

Im thinking a sort of dark mechanicum/chaos dwarves/bionic/daemon engine style list.

so things like as many sorcerers as I can pack in leading a very shooty army from hell.

Sounds cool, would be nice to see some of the conversions when they come around

My use for allies is pretty simple. I can put my Assassins and a Hereticus Inquisitor with my Sisters and do that army the way I originally intended it.

I'm also pondering doing enough Guard to add a Valkyrie to my Sisters, but that's down the road some.

Marines will use Eldar Dire Avengers and Farseer , and what comes to my mind

Eldar i dont know yet

There's a problem with the assassins. Each one occupies one elite slot so you can only take one. If you go over 2000 points it won't be a problem with the extra FOC. But under 2000, it would be an even more limited list. I'd go for the Psyfleman dread instead. Combined with an Exorcist you'll have amazing heavy firepower. Though a Vindicare assassin can also fill the anti-tank niche quite well (3D6 for penetrating!) the 5+ cover save to almost anything kind of reduces his chance to live. He would only get a 4+ due to stealth I believe, and I think they already have 4+ invul saves.

I'm now thinking of remaking a list of the "Adrantis Union" from the old BOLS minidex for the Macharian crusade. only question ?? Necrons allied to Tau but im leanning Tau allied with necrons.

I plan on making about ~1000 points of GK and ~1000 points of Inquisition forces to use as allied detachments for my various Imperial armies.

Also thinking of turning my fledgling Dark Eldar army into a joint force with Eldar, and I might add some Daemons to my Thousand Sons army. Maybe.

Oh, and I'm taking a large allied detachment of Imperial Guard for my Tau, to use as Gue'vesa or however the hell you spell it.

You need a troops choice to go with that.
