APPENDIX: IMPERIAL ALLIES

 

IMPERIAL ALLIES

The Imperium, on occasion, will assign a Commissar or Techpriest to act as an "advisor" in a Squat stronghold.  These also act as observors, letting the Imperium know what is going on within the Home Worlds.

Using Imperial Allies in a Squat Army

Using Imperial allies in a Squat army is as simple as looking through the list below, choosing what suits you, and adding it into your Squat army.  Each listing has a parentheses beside it in which the listing's force organization category is contained.  In the case of Imperial allies, this means that both choices will take up an Elites slot in your army.
