I... can't see why not.
But Why do you want him there? Give him a horse and ride with your Inner Circle Knights. Just a suggestion... don't throw anything at me!

Actually, I am fairly certain that you cannot take 'pikemen', as only Regiments of Renown are able to be hired by other armies.
Besides that, I am also fairly certain that only Dogs of War characters may join Regiments of Renown.

Only Dogs of War characters may jion Regiments of Renown.
However, Shane, you are wrong because regular mercenary units (Except hero's) can be taken in other armies as well. See page 4 of the pdf, under the "Fielding 'Dogs of War' units in other armies" section.
As to the OP. Yes, I suppose a Warrior Priest can. As the only ruling was that Regiments of Renown could not be joined by characters (As they're led by their own Mercenary Captain - but I'd say moreso to not allow abusable combinations).

Thanks to the new rules we're actually in a better place when used as allies.
No longer competing for those few rare and special slots we can be taken in force.
For example. In an army up to 25% of the points value can be taken as Special, and up to 25% can be taken as rare. So in a 2000 points army that means an Empire player could take half his army as Mercenaries.
The units I'm looking at.
Rare: Halfling hot pot (pity I only have one) two small cannon (D6 wounds ftw) hellblaster. 330 points.
Special: Ricco's Republican guard in unit of 30, great cannon. 440 points.
Then I can buy my core choices from the Empire list including an Empire General and a Wizard Lord.
EDIT: I could take up to 50% as special, but I still need to take 25% as Core.
