As long as it is equal down the board: No problem.

As I am doing the Orks, this is very important. The old
SM/TL rules had it set that the only way to 'double up'
on a Clan card was to have one of each of the Clan cards.
With this rule I can limit this to two to three clans worth
of purchases before I can double up.
I'm not too upset at this as I consider Snakebite Clan to
be marginally useless and any of their Clan specific
detachments that I want to use I just use Deathskulls.
Is this what everyone wants?
I definitely need some info from others on this.
example Army under the above rules:
6000 point total
I have a Bad Moon Clan (as they are my best shooters) with
4 detachments for a total 0f 1250 points. I then purchase
the Goff Clan with detachments(1300 pts) and the Blood
Axe Clan with detachments and Special(2050 pts). Now I can
purchase another Blood Axe Clan card for (600 pts) I still
have 800 points to play with for Detachments or Special.
I'll post more comments and suggestions after we nail this down.
