Can an army take both WH and DH allies?

If yes, can one take a full selction of DH and WH units allowed as per the allies rules of each codex?  So 1 elite choice from each codex, 2 troop choices for each codex, etc?

The WH Codex says that they can be included in an army with allies from other Ordos of the Inquisition.

My copy of the DH Codex (1st printing) doesn't say anything about other allies at all.
The DH FAQ states that no other allies may be included... and that this has been updated in the 2nd printing.
The 2nd printing apparently (haven't seen it, so going from what I've been told) includes the same wording as the WH book.


So yes, you can includes allies from both.

The units you can take as allies are specific to the codex ("...and the total number of Daemonhunter unit choices...") so yes, you can take the full allotment from both, so long as you have room on your FOC.

Remember though that you still need to fill all the compulsory slots from the parent list first.

Correct. It does have the same wording as the Wicth Hunters codex.

This is what makes it possable to take an Assasin with an Inquisitor, rather then an Inquisitor Lord.

If you believe you can fill a unit's requirements from a different codex, that is.

Ture, there is a good argument either way, but personally I don't think it's coincidence that these two books share 50% of thier units.

50%?

Not even close.


At the end of the day, it boils down to the combination of both codices *possibly* allowing something that is expressly illegal if you only consider one of them.

That looks like the definition of an exploited loophole if I ever saw one. My recommendation to you is to err on the side of taking the least advantage and just say no.

Not to mention that even though it may look legal from a rules perspective it doesn't make sense from a fluff perspective. Why would an Inquisitor be able to call upon an assassin that is aligned with another Ordo and not one aligned with his own instead? It just does not make sense.
