Chaos allies and battalions question

[Silphid]

I am currently working on hedonites models and with the upcoming release of Be’lakor, am considering a mixed force of chaos, with slaanesh and nurgle. If I take a S2D list and add my slaanesh units and nurgle daemons, can I take battallions from each of those respective battletomes into my S2D army? I get that I won’t have access to faction specific things such as exploding 6’s for slaanesh, or the wheel of maggotkin of nurgle.

Best case scenario for me would be to play a maggotkin battallion along with some Hedonites units and Belakor. Under the current rules for Belakor/S2D, is it possible? Or are battalions restricted to their own faction/battletome?

thanks for clarifying this for me!

You won't get much of the units you want into a S2D unit. Only 1 of every 4 units can be an Allied unit + in case of a 2000 Point List, you only have 400 Points for Allies.

Next. If the Battalion is not part of the Faction (in most 2.0 Battletomes part of that Book) all units inside the Battalion are Allies.

Q: The rules say that a warscroll battalion can include allies and that they don’t count against the number of allies in the army. Does this rule only apply to battalions that share the same allegiance as the army, but that have units from two different factions (a battalion in a Daughters of Khaine army that has Daughters of Khaine and Stormcast Eternals units, for example)?

A: Yes. The faction a warscroll battalion belongs to is shown on its warscroll, above the title of the battalion. In addition, the battalion is assumed to belong to the Grand Alliance that its faction is a part of. Warscroll battalions that share the same allegiance as an army can always be taken as part of the army, and if they include any allied units, these units do not count against the limits on the number of allies the army can have (or against the points limit that can be spent on allies in a Pitched Battle). An army can include a warscroll battalion of a different allegiance to the rest of the army, but if it does so the units in it do count against the limits on the number of allies the army can have (and the points for the battalion and the units in it count against the points limit that can be spent on allies in a Pitched Battle).

 

If you want to play, Be'lakor with Deamons, you can play the Allegiance Abilities "The Legion of Chaos Ascendant" from "Archaons Wrath", their you can mix deamons from all gods, but you still wouldn't be able to play the Battalions from the Chaos God Battletomes. (My guess is, that Broken Realms: Be'lakor will have an Update on that Allegiance).
