Just in case you have been too busy with 8th Edition 40k, playing another wargame, or just getting back into the hobby, the newly released General’s Handbook 2017 has provided players with the ability to take allies from other Factions.
The only prerequisite is that they are listed keyword <Allies> for that specific faction. For example, Brayherds can have Chaos Gargants, Monsters of Chaos, Thunderscorn, or Warherds as allies. The <Allies> keyword allows players to take extra units and not count against their faction and still be able to take Allegiance abilities and other benefits.

With the updated rules for Matched Play in the General’s Handbook 2017, you can now take up to 400 points of allies without changing your army’s Allegiance, meaning flexibility – create more themed armies using diverse units from your collection.
