Q1. Are there any restrictions on what armies players can play and ally? (E.G. Can one player in a team play Space Marines and his partner player Chaos Daemons?)

A- No there is no restrictions to what combos of factions a team can bring to this event except each player must bring 1000 points each and no more!

Q2. Can units between allied armies share benefits if they have the same keywords? (E.G. can two space marine allies use each other's “Oath of Moment”?). 

A- No, For this event ally’s army’s even if they have the same key word cannot share benefits. So in this example 2 space marine ally’s wouldn’t be able to benefit from each others Oath of moment choices.

Q3. Conversely if an enemy unit is being debuffed/nerfed by the effect of one player, can the other player benefit from it? (E.G. If a Death Guard player is applying effects from their contagion auras to enemy units, can the ally of the Death Guard player also use those effects?)

A- No, For this event Debuffs and Nerfs placed on a force will only apply when dealing with any interaction (actions, movement, attacks, saving throws ECT) from the faction or player that issued the Debuff or nerf. Ally’s will not be able to use there partners debuffing ability’s.

A- Per team.

Q5. Following on from Question 4, if two allied players happen to run the same faction, are they also limited to 1 use of a single stratagem per phase? (E.G.

A- yes- except in cases where a character allows you to use that stratagem a second time.

Q6. While it is 1000 points per player, if a player on a team finishes his list at less than 1000 points (E.G. 990 points), can his ally use those spare points or are they lost?
