Have the rulebook. No mention of no special character allies.

Imotek + orks?

You CAN take unique/ special characters as allies. Just watch out if you arent battle brothers because the other 2 kinds of allies are considered enemies that cant be targeted, attacked, shot, charged. So throwing eldrad in your (fill in te blank) army will just screw your own psykers if you take any. Transports can not be used from your ally as well.

Back to the topic, I would love to take some Tau with my eldar and guide up those shooty suckers. Also, depending how you read the rules, marker lights may or may not be used by allies. If they can, think about stripping cover saves from an army while shooting with eldar and tau.

I even like allying with yourself (double FOC at 2000) and taking 4 farseerswith one of them being eldrad. Or 2 seers, eldrad, and the avatar. Or even having more then 3 Fire prisms???

Or Dark eldar with a farseer pal. fortuned wyches or bloodbrides diving into a unit that was doomed led by a archon wit re-rollable 2++ saves

not that it matters as DE have no psykers, but if they did, they wouldnt worry about a allied eldrad.

Not sure yet if Fortune can be cast on Dark Eldar as it specifically says Eldar unit. Of course, he could cast it on himself and then join the unit the archon is in.....

I have the rule book. It specifically states that you may cast psychic powers on battle brothers as if they are friendly.
