Allies Contingent units may only be joined by Allies Contingent characters. Allies Contingent characters may only join Allies Contingent units.
Allies Contingent units do not benefit from the main army's General's Leadership even if within 12". They also do not gain Break test re-rolls from the main army's Battle Banner.
Allies units may use the Contingent Commander's Leadership if within 12", and may re-roll a failed Break test if within 12" of a Contingent Standard.
