Ok minor discrepancy in the war master challenge rule set you sighted...

in thier player guide for doubles they state

Special, Named and Unique Characters/models – are allowed, but because they are
unique only one is allowed per team. Because of this, special characters that unlock
special force selections (Wazzdakka making ork bikers troops) or other special rules
(Shrike’s Chapter Tactic) may be applied to both team members provided they are using
the same Codex army. For purposes of Special Characters that have a minimum point
value to be fielded, the army is considered to be worth 2000 points.

in yours you say...

• Special, Named and Unique Characters/models – are allowed, but because they are unique only one is
allowed per team. Because of this, special characters that unlock special force selections (Wazzdakka
making ork bikers troops, Belial making Deathwing Terminators troops, etc) or other special rules
(Shrike’s Chapter Tactic) may not be applied to both teams.

so i assume you wrote up your blurb after sighting their rules to be clear if i took Wazzdakka my partner and i are not rocking strait biker armies ?

and ofcourse regardless of the wording my whaggg does not effect my partners whaaggg?

there are a couple changes between warmaster and what we have posted, which is why it states that our rules are based on warmaster and not a straight copy. So yes, we did intentionally change it so that you cannot have straight ork biker armies or Deathwing etc. (as much as I love my Deathwing)

Also correct, if there are 2 ork players together they do not benifit from each others WHAG.

If a special char has the standard "all friendly units/models within X gain Y till the end of turn" would my partner gain this effect too? Such as Logan's living legend which grants +1A for that turn within 18".

That would be a similar result as an Ork Kustom Force Field, which is refferenced in the package as not helping the second player's orks if it is from the first. Basically you are using 2 seperate armies and so consider friendly models as those in your own army only.

If it's 6th can each army have its own allies?

until I get my hands on a 6th ed rulebook and read through it, I will not specify as to what adjustments will be made. I hope you can understand.

I understand completely

I'd say the same thing applies to the funky terrain... Will we use it? I guess depends on once we get our greedy mitts on the book
