Is it allowed for me to combine a space marine army with imperial guard army? I have been getting massacred by horde armies and i need some cheap troops to hold objectives.

The closest you can get is Imperial Guard combined with Sisters of Battle, but then still the options are limited. This is under the "By the Authority of the Immortal Emperor of Mankind" rule on page 26 of the Witchhunters codex. Alternatively, Space Marines accompanying Inquisitorial Stormtroopers.

Hope that helps!

No, simply put you can't mix codexi with the exception of apocalypse, multiple detachments which only take place in higher point games, the original DH/WH codex's or the 'by the imortal emperor of mankind' rules in the DH/WH codexi which allow certain units to be 'inducted' into a DH/WH army.

If your having trouble with hordes try;
- rifle dreads
- missile launcher devastators
- bolter marines, lots of them
- blast templates (thunderfire cannons, whirlwinds, vindis)
- sternguard for those tough horde targets
- flamers on dreads, command squads, bikes and assault marines
- staying inside cheap metal boxs and using them as bunkers
- dakka preds

But apart from that and a few other choices SM are completely and utterly useless against hordes, its one of those great injustices that needs to be fixed next codex [sarcasm/]

Good luck!

Witch Hunters can ally with Space Marines. Both of the troop choices are significantly cheaper than Space Marines, but not Imperial Guard cheap. I don't know that that's the answer to your horde problem, but there it is.
