====Arks of Omen Detachment==== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">The new combined-arms detachment introduced in the Arks of Omen Grand Tournament Pack, [[Games Workshop|which basically renders the Battalion, Vanguard, Outrider, Spearhead, Super-Heavy, Super-Heavy Auxillary, and Fortifications Network Detachments obsolete]], as it does all of their jobs better than they do. You can only take '''one''' AoO detachment and get no CP for doing so, but it doesn't cost CP or preclude you from taking other detachments (or even allies), but its sheer adaptability is unmatched. To create an Arks of Omen Detachment, you simply choose a HQ unit, and then pick one of the five other main unit types to be your three compulsory choices, which can even be [[Powergamer|Lords of War!]] From there, you can dump a whole load of other units in to suit your taste, including Fortifications and more Lords of War, and you can take Elite characters like an [[Apothecary]] or a [[Painboy]] in different slots than other Elites to save even more space. This one-size-fits-all approach gives it an enormous amount of flexibility on paper: it's even bringing back soup! With the Battle Brothers rule players can bring an extra detachment of allies, albeit with some limitations that haven't been fully revealed. But as it has only just been introduced, it remains to be seen if it will actually produce balanced armies. <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> *'''Mandatory Units:''' 1 HQ (except for Imperial Knights or Chaos Knights because they don't have any HQ's), 3 Troops OR 3 Elites OR 3 Fast Attack OR 3 Heavy Support OR 3 Lords of War **'''Optional Units:'''+3 HQ, +9 Troops, +3 Elites, +3 Elites (Characters), +3 Fast Attack, +3 Heavy Support, +3 Lords of War, +2 Flyers, +3 Fortifications, 1 Dedicated Transport per {{W40kKeyword|Infantry}} unit taken. *'''Restrictions:''' All units must be from the same faction (and it can't be {{W40kKeyword|Imperium}}, {{W40kKeyword|Chaos}}, {{W40kKeyword|Aeldari}}, or {{W40kKeyword|Tyranids}} - they still have to be part of the same sub-faction). *'''CP Cost:''' 0 CP *'''Command Benefits:''' None. ** Well, this gives no intrinsic benefits, the Battle Brothers rule does help all the special allied detachment rules remain relevant. ***Any {{W40kKeyword|Imperium}} detachment can also include either a {{W40kKeyword|Agents of the Imperium}} Patrol or Auxiliary Support detachment, an {{W40kKeyword|Imperial Knights}} Superheavy Support detachment composed of one {{W40kKeyword|Freeblade}} model, or {{W40kKeyword|Votann}} Patrol detachment. ***An {{W40kKeyword|Asuryani}} or {{W40kKeyword|Drukhari}} detachment can also include a {{W40kKeyword|Harlequins}} detachment. ***A {{W40kKeyword|Drukhari}} detachment can also include a second {{W40kKeyword|Drukhari}} detachment, though the two detachments must have separate keywords (thus, if one uses {{W40kKeyword|<KABAL>}} the second must use {{W40kKeyword|<COVEN>}} or {{W40kKeyword|<WYCH CULT>}}). ***An {{W40kKeyword|Astra Militarum}} detachment can also include a {{W40kKeyword|Militarum Tempestus}} Patrol detachment. ***A {{W40kKeyword|Genestealer Cults}} detachment can also include a {{W40kKeyword|Brood Brothers}} Patrol, Auxiliary Support, or Superheavy Support detachment. ***Any {{W40kKeyword|Chaos}} detachment can also include a {{W40kKeyword|Chaos Knights}} Sperheavy Support detachment composed of one {{W40kKeyword|Dreadblade}} model. ***Any {{W40kKeyword|Traitoris Astartes}} detachments can also include a {{W40kKeyword|Legiones Daemonica}} detachment. ****Any god-aligned armies ({{W40kKeyword|Emperor's Children}}, {{W40kKeyword|Death Guard}}, {{W40kKeyword|Thousand Sons}}, {{W40kKeyword|World Eaters}}) can only take an allied detachment that is of the same god as their own. ***A {{W40kKeyword|Legiones Daemonica}} detachment using the {{W40kKeyword|Disciples of Be'lakor}} Army of Renown can include one {{W40kKeyword|Traitoris Astartes}} Patrol detachment and a {{W40kKeyword|Chaos Knights}} Superheavy Support detachment composed of a single {{W40kKeyword|House Korvax}} model. </div></div>
