Ok, so i mainly use IG as my army of preferance, but i also have a few squads of lovely painted purifiers and i want to use them in my army as allies
so say i take an inquisitor and 2 squads of purifiers

A. Are they subject to the rule stated?

B. can they use an auger array ( or whatever the no scatter deep strike one )

sorry but i lent my friend my new rulebook and havent been able to check the BRB after the new IG codex came out.
thanks in advance
The Pure one

How are you taking to squads of Purifiers as allies without taking Crowe as your allied HQ?

Are guard desperate allies with GK?

Is this about the armageddon thing?

If the array only benefits friendly troops, only BB can benefit from it.

Presumably as purifiers are Elite, and you can only take one Elite unit, to take two units you would need Crowe to make them Troops.

Correct.

Thanks everyone for the comments i really appreciate it. so i was wrong about 2 squads of purifiers. so lets say i took the inquisitor and 1 squad o purifiers. are they subject to one eye open if they are near my guardsmen? what allies work best with IG

All Units are subjected to the Alliance Table whenever they are interacting with a Unit from a different codex.
For example, a Unit will trigger the 'One Eye Open' rule if it ends up anywhere near the Unit from a different codex should the two codex's be Desperate Allies to each other.

As for what works best, simply review the chart for which Codex are Battle Brothers to Imperial Guard. Aside from one or two exceptions, Battle Brothers function in such a way that they might as well be considered part of the same Codex. Personally, I would advise to expand that list to include Allies of Convenience. While they don't function in a way as Battle Brothers, the possible combinations open some very interesting tactics that can easily be better then taking a Battle Brother.
