Barliman in a tournament list

Is it possible to take Barliman Butterbur and Bill the Pony to a tournament as allies to a Fellowship list? (Or to say Rivendell and Lothlorien).

They are official allies to those lists (historical or convenient). But Bill is only a minor hero, not a captain-level model ... so does that mean you can't ally him in because you need a captain-level model to ally?

I feel like you should be able to take Barliman and Bill, but can't work out if there is specific wording anywhere that permits it. Is there some kind of exemption for the Wanderers in the Wild list that allows them to ally without a captain-level model?

Just checked the latest FAQ and wanderers in the wild are exempt from the rules for Heroic tiers when taken as allies. See the last sentence below.

Quote:

Page 133 – Adding Allies
Add the following paragraph:
Naturally, when multiple armies ally with each other to fight together, they will each be led by an appropriate leader. For a Historical Alliance, each allied force must contain at least one Hero with a Heroic Tier of Hero
of Fortitude or higher. For a Convenient Alliance, or an alliance containing Impossible Allies, each allied force must contain at least one Hero with a Heroic Tier of Hero of Valour or higher. Models from the Wanderers in the Wild army list ignore these restrictions.

Thanks very much. I thought it would be confirmed somewhere, but couldn't track it down!
