This might seem like a weird question, but hear me out ...

I was looking at the Armoured Battlegroup Army List. It seems to me that the Company Command Tank with Vanquisher upgrade would be an excellent "poor man's Paskuisher" at 165 points. I don't have enough tanks to field an actual Armoured Battlegroup, but was wondering if it would be kosher to bring a regular Imperial Guard army and then an allied detachment of IG using the Armoured Battlegroup list?

I can't see anything that explicitly prohibits this, although the square on the matrix is blank where an army meets up with itself ...

Don't see why not man, but wouldn't you just include the Armoured Battlegroup into your other IG?
Other than that, I don't think anyone would be upset if you used it, just give you wierd glances.

If it uses the A.B. list then it is not allied IG, it is allied A.B. so perfectly allowed. Same as you could take allied DKoK, etc..

Hmn, seems like shenanigans. What if you took 3 heldrakes and then an allied detachment of chaos with another heldrake. I can't see many tournaments letting you do that kind of thing. But for friendly play I can hardly see anyone complaining if it's a model based thing (not having enough tanks).

Because one is against the rules, and the other isnt?

YOu cannot ally CSM with CSM. You CAN ally IG with DKoK, Elysian D-99, etc because they are NOT from the IG codex and are NOT IG!

Yes you can ally ABG with IG as they arent IG Codex, they are IA rule set, same as DKoK etc.

Might just be easy to use squadroned Russes though - normal IG codex would allow you to take 9 anyway.

Where can i find the IA allies chart? aka where can i find a rule that states that i can ally any IG list and who can ally what list. For example what allies can Eldar Corsairs take?

Go to Forge World, download the allies FAQ. It will explicitly say that IG can take ABG as allied Battle Brothers.

Yeah, I want to do it for a 165 pt Vanquisher with BS4 rather than taking Pask on a Vanquisher for 205 total.

Thanks for the link olcottr. I checked the allies FAQ and it is clear, that Armoured Battle Group "may ally with Imperial Guard as Battle Brothers"
