quick question about using dkok deathriders in an astra militarum list

I know the general consensus amongst guard players is that if you want to run rough riders the best option is to ally in death riders. my question is whats the best way to do this?
hq commissar + engineers to fill out the hq and troop requirement and then take the deathrider platoon or is there a more popular/sensible option that I'm missing? i always see mention of using them as allies but never how the rest of the ally requirement is filled out

cheers

Its the death rider squadron detachment from the DKoK siege regiment list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708371/9023389.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708371/9023389.page GMT
i was under the impression that allies had to conform to 1hq, 1 troop and the 0-1 of each other slot?

or am i able to take that special detachment as allies?

cheers

Armies are simply composed of detachments (CAD, allied, formations, etc), one of which contains your warlord and is labeled your primary detachment. The "allied detachment" is just one of these types, and has a rule that it can't be your primary detachment or have the same faction as your primary detachment. But you are free to take other combinations: an IG CAD and a DKoK death rider detachment, an IG formation and a Tau CAD and a C:SM formation, three IG CADs and a Tyranids allied detachment, etc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708371/9024868.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/708371/9024868.page GMT got to say that aside from a few specific situations the allied detachment seems somewhat obsolete when you can.

multiple cad's from different codexes seems ideal for my situation though
