So a Scout squad has a teleport homer. Can allied Grey knight terminators benefit or not?

I think so, as "friends" can use it... so I assume this means allies can use it too.

RAW, there is not instance of "Your" so yes they can. But also under RAW any terminator can use it, even your opponents.... This may have been cleared up in a FAQ some were.

In fact it has: Q. Am I able to gain the benefits of any of my
opponent’s wargear or special rules, such as
Teleport Homers, Chaos Icons, Tyranid Synapse,
Necron Resurrection Orbs etc?
A. In most occasions this is clear, as the rules use
the words ‘friendly’ or ‘own’ to indicate your
units, and ‘enemy’ for the opponent’s. On the
other hand, some rules clearly specify that they
affect ‘friend and foe’. A few rules are, however,
slightly ambiguous as they don’t clearly specify
this distinction. As a general principle, we
recommend that you cannot use or gain the
benefits from any of the wargear or special rules
of your opponent’s army, unless specifically
stated in the rule itself (‘friend or foe’) or in an
official FAQ.

I think he means Allies as in the Official sense (Grey Knights Terminators).

I would say no, as they may have terminator armour, but the Daemonhunters "version" doesnt allow you to use SM Homers.

Clarify with your opponent is the best i can suggest.

That is not a rule. Just because Daemonhunters have a different version of a Teleport Homer in their codex doesn't mean they wouldn't benefit from a SM homer in their army.

In this particular case, the rulebook FAQ answer clarifies the situation that yes, any friendly DS terminators could use any friendly teleport homer.

It appears I have been corrected

I wasn't fully sure as I have no DH codex to hand, but now that I think about it, yes, It makes more sense sine they are in the same "army" so to speak (that is, same FoC)

Thanks yak.

Interesting example: If you have a scouts-on-bikes-squad with a Locator Beacon, and you are playing a game with some strange allies (apocalypse maybe, or fun houserules) Your ally could use your Locator beacon to deepstrike a Lictor, a darkeldar raider and an ork tunneling wehicle. As long as you are all in the same alliance things should work out just fine... But make sure you keep some enemies nearby to keep them busy once they are deployed. Because I ca see a great deal of risk involved in this allaince :-)
