Hello, my name is caver and I’m a wargamer, 3rd edition has brought a lot of crossover between units and armies, and i think it would be cool to have a compiled list of which units serve as crossover units(meaning units that serve in at least 2 different lists that arent main and theme list of one another), in order to have a concise way of better planifying how to build an army model and list wise. So let me begin
Elementals(these are the most common)
Water elementals(and greater water elemental)
works for:
- Forces of nature
- The order of the green lady(FoN theme force, are sacred water in this army)
- Trident Realm of neiritica
Earth elementals(and greater earth elemental)
works for:
- Forces of nature
- Order of the green lady
- The herd
- Imperial Dwarves
- Free Dwarves(greater earth elemental can be upgraded to unique character in this army)
Fire elementals(and greater fire elemental)
works for:
- Forces of nature
- Salamanders
Naiad units
Naiad Ensnarers and Heartpiercers
Works for:
- Forces of nature
- Order of the green lady
- Trident realm of neritica
Verdant units
Hunters of the wild

Twilight kin as a crossover faction
In adition to all this crossover it should be noted that Twilight kin have access to the following units from the nightstalker list as irregular units
- Fiends
- Butchers
- Shadowhounds
- Needle Fangs
- Mind screech
- Shadow hulk
- Banshee
And the following from the Forces of the abyss
- Archfiend
- Abyssal Horsemen
Hope This can help you planify better your purchases and organize your collections when it comes to list build, if im lacking some units(particularly the ones that are red goblin vs goblin in the ogres list) please let me know and add them to the list too.
As you can see, Forces of nature does a lot of crossover so a collection that of dwarves or elves could easily crossover to that faction pretty easily
