Topic: Question about Lost and Damned...

[Chaplain C Chew]

Ok...so I'm reading Codex: EOT and I see the allies which I can use from Codex: CSM...the question is this: If marked units count as Elite then do they also take up the limit for Elites taken as allies? Example: I want 2 squads of TS in my force yet both squads have MOTz...this would make them count as Elites but does it also mean that I can only really take one squad...does the squad take up the 0-1 limit for Elite allies?

Thousand Sons are marked marines, and therefore they count as elites..So I guess they do count on the elite restriction....Unle ss there is a lop-hole I'm not aware of.

No such loophole exists. You don't 'ally' troops and then mark them. You do the whole squad and then ally it. So if you're going to have, for instance, a noisemarine squad, they're marked before they're allies, and so they go into the elites slot. They take up your one elite choice.

Better make that one elite choice worth it. Make them Rhubric Termies or something.
