Hmm good point. Can you tell I don't play marines
much?
I've mostly been playing around in my data
files to see what does what so far.

I was thinking that it might be something like this.
Is there a chance it might have something to do with
the itst attribute as well...the fact that every army
can see it even when not told to include the marines
data file I mean?

You forgot the ! at the start. The expression must evaluate to "true"
for the item to be available.

Your assumptions are flawed
So, as it turned out, were mine; the wildcard ? character didn't work
the way I expected it to. New files out soon, indeed out today if I
think there's enough new stuff in them.

Believe it or not Shawn, yes they are. Any army can take a unit of Harlequins as an elites choice when facing chaos. Note that they aren't so much allies as just also present on the same battlefield with the same targets.
