This popped up today from Beasts of War regarding the use of allies in 6th, it's pretty funny.

I can't quite grasp how getting an allied/enemy unit a kilt will affect the outcome of an average game of 40k. Which codex has kilts as wargear? And exactly how would you model the wee little tartan onto your models?...

Got to love the Scottish brogue.

In regards to their comments: Well most if not all of my games have needed some kind of RAI accommodation.

Delicious...

That's pretty hilarious. Got to love the northern irish accent.

They are Irish? Good Lord... Well I did have a lot of background noise happening when I viewed the clip. Had to put my ear down by the speakers on my laptop. The angle of my head may have caused some kind of dialectic confusion. I must keep my shame hidden from my Irish friends.

To be fair the Northern Irish (in this case sounds like Bellfast) accent is very different than the southern accent. The northern Irish accent is also almost identical to some of the regional accents on the west coast of Scotland. So I wouldn't blame you for mixing them up.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that after viewing the video and seeing the situation that they got themselves into, I see that with the RAW... they are right.

Sad, and definitely just an oversight.... but still funny as heck. And right, IMHO

The fact that allies of convinience deny objectives from your guys was pretty well known already (they're treated as enemy uits you can't attack, and enemy units within 3'' of an objective deny them from you), but I didn't realise before that, yes, the BRB states thta allies cannot be shot at, targetted with psychic powers or charged. Note: charged, not attacked in melee. So if you do get into a melee that involves an enemy unit and non-battlebroter allies, you can (and in some cases even must) hit them!
