I don't know if it's a 'done thing' these days, but how do people feel about including allied units as part of an army?

Are players generally ok with this?

As a BA (successor) player, I don't really have wide scope for this - although I could probably reasonably go for an Armageddon Steel Legion unit/s (given the massive sacrifice and aid given in defence of the planet by the Blood Angels).

Theorethically you can ally all off IoM stuff

Generally Soup falls in two categories : The one where you just seek to play fluffy, e.g. an army from a specific campaign etc, and the one where you trhow in loyal 32's and get 5 CP for cheap to fuel smashcaptains, Knights etc. which is definately less liked in non tournament environments.

However if you say BA successor do you use the new marine dex or the BA dex?

Using BA Codex.

It's not something I feel a desperate need to have in my army, but it is something I wanted to keep as a possibility for the future - just to have a wider variety of models more than anything else. I would hope a squad of Steel Legion and perhaps one of their vehicles (nothing crazy like a Baneblade!) wouldn't cause anyone any problems?

Out of curiosity, do you run your BA Successor *as a successor* or do you just run them as pure BA? Because I hate to say this, if you're doing the former you're hamstringing yourself in limiting your access to relics.

I can respect that decision - though it's a tough road to tread. You might look to pick a relic for an allied force then - but I think in most cases you'd need your Warlord to be from that allied faction, unless you use one of the ubiquitous 'get more relics* stratagems.
