I have been looking through the EoT book and the LatD faq but I cannot find the awnser to this. Does a chosen retinue of the Arch-Heritic count as an elite choice if they are marked? Or does it count as part of the Arch-Heritic's HQ spot?

Chosen are always an elite choice.

So you can have three units of chosen and they still only count as an elite choice as desrcibed in the chaos codex.

Ah so even though I have 3 chosen units as either retinues or stand alones I can still take 2 other elite choies, right?

One more question, is there any reason I cannot mark my arch-hertic when playing with a specific CSM ally. In praticular I want to give him the slanneshi mark and take EC allies.

I dont see any problem with that, the LatD army doesnt have a "leader" and dosent have the "Ancient Enemies" rule.

If all the restrictions from the cult list would apply (about having only one mark) then it would be impossible to ally in the first place.

Just to clarify...you can take up to three units of chosen, but two of those MUST be taken as retinues.  Only one can be a "stand-alone" unit.

There is a limit as to how many elites choices you can take from the Chaos codex, in a LatD list.  I believe it is one, so taking Chosen will take that slot.
