Can Skitarii even be taken as allies? IIRC they are incapable of filling out the 1HQ/1troop minimum for allies.
CustomLine is talking about formations or detachments that he can ally in, not an Allied Detachment. Yes, Allied Detachments (that is, a detachment using the "Allied Detachment" force organization chart) are totally different to a detachment that is allied.

Regular Skitarii guys can put out a ton of damage, but due to their short range they need some help getting in the right places. A lot of people run the Blood Angel Flesh Tearer Strike Force Detachment (from the Shield of Baal campaign book I believe?) which consists of mandatory 1hq, 1 troop and 1 FA , and lets you take up to 5 additional FA slots. So drop podding skitarii to put a solid dent in your opponent's army, while your guard camp the backfield with heavy weapons and wyverns can also work.

Skitarii or Ad.Mech also depends on what sort of gaps you want to close in your list. Mobility? Go Skitarii. Firepower? Go Ad.Mech with Kataphron destroyers. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665159/8183177.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665159/8183177.page GMT Skitarii allies for Imperial Guard http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665159/8183278.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665159/8183278.page GMT
