This.
Some allies make a lot of sense. Certain armies fight together frequently;
IG can easily be used as proxy PDFs, private armies, traitors, conscripts, frateris militia (sp?), allied with marines as the imperial army, etc. so I'm really happy to see additions like that, which allow some pretty fun fluff lists representing different forces using a mix & match principle.
However, I think they should have been way more restrictive so you don't just wind up with a bunch of mix & match
BS that's pretty clearly based on performance more than aesthetic or fun. They already had Apocalypse for "do whatever you want."
