A question about "Loyal"

[andoutcomethewolves...]

Hi guys first post and its a rules question....

The Immortal Sentinel, both forms, is listed as having the special ability Loyal.  Having read this ability, and scratched my head for a long time, re read the section on constructing your company, and continued scratching my head i'm struggling to see the point in this ability, as faction warriors cannot join companies lead by Merc officers anyway as is clearly stated in the building companies section pg 75(new rule book.) Am i missing something?

The only thing i could think of is that it prevents possession type spells/effects unless cast by an immortal opponent, because your Loyal Sentinel would be temporarily joining a company lead by an officer not of his faction thus prevented by Loyal.(does that make sense?) .  But this seems a bit of a convoluted way of saying that.  Any help would be greatly accepted.

Love the game and the models can't wait for the next wave of releases to hit the UK.

the ability doesn't allow to an officer with the ability prestige to recruit a soldier loyal to another faction.

I must admit I have as well been getting mixed up by that part of the rule and being the me that normally does not want to scratch my head so much, I would be glad to hear from someone who has had a grasp of the same.
