No Please note that ally lists are not reciprocal, in other words it is possible for a race to appear as allies of another race, while not having that race in their own ally list. This simply reflects the fact that to get a race as an ally there must be a good chance of a small contingent of their troops serving in a large army of troops drawn from the main list. In the case of Dark Elves and Skaven, for example, it seemed sensible to me (Jervis) that small contingents of Dark Elves could serve in a Skaven army, but not vice-versa.

Can characters join Scout units and Dark Rider Units?URL Copied!
Characters can join either unit, but note that with the exception of Champions they will not benefit from the unit's special rules. Thus a character with the Scouts can't infiltrate, and a character with the Dark Riders can't make a free march move at the start of the battle or fire and flee.

Which units can have Assassins? The rules (p 40) say "you can hide Assassins in Dark Elf infantry units". As there are no units called Dark Elf infantry I assumed that they could be hidden in any non-cavalry unit. Then I read in the Dark Elf battle tactics (p 66) that they could not be hidden in Scout units?URL Copied!
Dark Elf Assassins can hide in the following units: Executioners, Black Guard, Corsairs, Warriors, Spearmen, City Guard, Crossbowmen. It should be noted that Dark Elf Assassins are male, and cannot disguise themselves as scantily clad female witch elves. See e.g. Warhammer Armies: Dark Elves, p. 40 "the Witch Elves steal away the male children who they raise in the temples of Khaine."
