Hey guys,

From a fluff perspective, I know Farsight and Shadowsun are at odds with each other, but I want my army to sort of be a moment when Shadowsun is cut off from the empire and the only one who can come to her rescue is Farsight and a small cadre of his troops. A little romantic and cheesy but I just want to play both models of Shadowsun and Farsight.

The idea is to have Farsight and his suits deepstrike behind enemy lines or close to scoring troops to lay waste with flamers and burst cannons. I assume I can't use his "no scatter" rule if he's allied, considering Shadowsun is the Warlord for the main detachment.

Let me know what you guys think. If its worth it.

Apparently, in a Battle-Forged list we can't ally Tau Empire and Farsight Enclave as they are both from the same Faction. Haven't read it in the book myself yet, but that's what I've been told on here.

Thought Factions could ally with themselves hence the different marine chapters getting together.

Hmm I'm pretty sure Tau Empire and Farsight Enclaves can still ally...
