Shared keywords are the only way to make Ynnari armies at the moment as well as Corsairs - if anything they benefit from the added flexibility. It's almost like this is exactly the same as 7th yet again as far as the ally matrix was concerned. Against, I expect the Legion traits will cause some of this to be trimmed back and force people into set faction detachments or armies.ģ. If anything it adds a new level of flexibility and is also the ONLY way to make a Daemonkin army. Note that the SM Chapter traits will probably trim back the allied bloat and some armies already have requirements for entire detachments to be Faction X to benefit from certain special rules.Ģ. Kinda sucks for non-Imperium players and REALLY sucks for non-Eldar Xenos players.ġ. IG + CultistsĪllies are primarily only a thing for Imperium in 8th. Craftworld, Dark, Clown and Death varietiesĥ. Various types of Marines and various types of Daemons.ģ. In effect, there are 8 main armies in 8th edition.ġ. SevenSeasOfRhye wrote: Thanks for the replies guys. If your opponent objects to what you're doing you can expect them to insist on matched play restrictions, so in friendly play it basically boils down to "with opponents consent". Of course, since there aren't any restrictions on what factions can be in the same army it's totally "legal" to ally Eldar and Slaneeshi daemons for example. The restriction that all units in the army share a faction keyword or be unaligned is a matched play restriction, not a battle forged one.Īs long as you and your opponent agree you are playing "narratively" you can design armies using the rules for battle forged and have allied detachments from whatever factions you like, all totally legal. So you can take detachments from multiple factions and your army will still be battle forged.

All the detachments currently available have a restriction that all units within them must share a faction keyword but that only applies within the detachment. The rules for battle forged don't place any restriction on how many factions you can take in the same army.
