It has the restrictions for the lords of war forgeworld choices. They generally follow the tone of for example:

IMPERIAL ARMOUR VOLUME 2 – 2ND EDITION LORDS OF WAR
The new edition of Imperial Armour 2 uses stamps to indicate which models are classed as Lords of War. The indicated models may be taken if your primary
detachment is from Codex: Space Marines, Codex: Blood Angels, Codex: Dark Angels, Codex: Grey Knights or Codex: Space Wolves

So lets say I take a primary detachment of the grey knight strike formation, and take a fellblade. I then take a CAD IG detachment. Can i take another fellblade? Since my primary detachment is from GK?


Would it work the other way round? If my primary is an IG detachment and I take a baneblade, if I then take a grey knight strike formation could I take another one? because my primary detachment is from IG?

Thanks!

LoW aren't special. They are just another force org slot like Elite or Fast Attack. You can take duplicate fast attack and such can't you? So why not duplicate LoW?

You can take multiple of the same unit unless they are unique.

As long as they aren't characters or have the unique type then yes you can duplicate them.

I mis worded the titled.

What I meant was, can I take a low from another faction? If you read my example in the OP:

I take IG primary. Baneblade as LOW slot.
I ally in a GK strike formation. Due to the rules linked above, by RAW can I take another Baneblade in their LOW slot?

All units within the faction must be from the same faction.

It depends the Formation or Detachments allowing access to the Lord of War in question.
To date, we have yet to see a Detachment which does not contain the Restriction 'One Faction Only' or 'X Faction Only' and formations have specific Unit requirements to make them a non-issue.

It must be the same faction as the detachment it is in OR be specifically allowed to be taken by that faction.

For example, all the new FW knights say they are a LoW choice for any Imperial faction. So GKs, SM, IG, etc... can all take them in their LoW slot.

I believe Baneblades are IG only LoW.

But where does it say what faction forgeworld units are?

For example, all the malcador are IG allowed too. But the Typhon for example does not say explicitly what faction it is.

Forgeworld is working on some Frequently Asked Question to bring their books up to 7th Edition, are they not?
I recommend emailing them if the lack of specific factions if that is a great concern.

The Forge World Lords of War are listed HERE.

The Typhon is a Legion Astartes vehicle for 30K.

Ghaz it is also listed at the bottom:

IMPERIAL ARMOUR VOLUME 2 – 2ND EDITION LORDS OF WAR
The new edition of Imperial Armour 2 uses stamps to indicate which models are classed as Lords of War. The indicated models may be taken if your primary
detachment is from Codex: Space Marines, Codex: Blood Angels, Codex: Dark Angels, Codex: Grey Knights or Codex: Space Wolves. They may also be used
in the following Imperial Armour army lists: Tyrant’s Legion from Imperial Armour Volume 9, and the Space Marine Siege Assault Vanguard from Imperial
Armour Volume 10.

The Typhon is in Imperial armour 2 2nd ed with a LOW stamp.

In their rules. And the link Ghaz provided.

For example, the Knight Castigator's experimental rules say "A Cerastus Knight-Castigator may be taken as a Lords of War choice for any faction that is a part of the Armies of the Imperium (see the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook)"

Permission to be selected as part of a Detachment does not mean the Unit belongs to the Detachments Faction, it just means they can be selected to fill a Battlefield Role within the Detachment.
In my opinion, as they do not list which Faction they belong to they must therefore be "Factionless" and are only selectable for a Battlefield Role as they have specific Rules for such.
