I'm building an IG list with a power blob in it, and i intend to use Al'rahem to outflank it. Is it legal to have a Primaris Psyker join that unit and still have them outflank? i.e. does Al's rule extend to the IC joining a squad?

Is there any negative or benefit to having multiple commissars in one blob. On one hand more power weapons for me, on the other does it mean that multiple models will get summarily executed when i fail a leadership test?

If you outflank, you are allowed to combine in any legal way via the reserves rules. Infiltrating is another question as then the deployment rules apply.

1) Yes, No, Maybe. Some say you can, some say you cannot. It is Unclear, since the IC is only ATTACHED to the Squad, it is not PART of the Platoon.

2) No, only 1 model gets executed.

1) while fuzzy I would say you can... actually you must.
Outflanking an IC joined to a squad that neither has scouts nor infiltrate does not exactly break any rules(sort of bends one of them pretty bad), however Attaching an IC to one of Al'Rahem's platoon elements and then not outflanking that element does Break a Rule.

2) only one model gets executed; but then multiple commissars give diminishing returns. For more information on this ask in the Tactics forum.
