Hello dakka, I'm building an IG army (got a few games in) and I'm looking for an effective force to ally with. My IG army is a hybrid mech with a balanced force.
what i'm thinking for allies is:
librarian w/ jump pack,
1 full squad of 10 assault marines ,
sanguinary priests (to join with footslogging IG elements)

I'm thinking of using the assault marines as a shock troop element.

The libby and ASM are a solid choice, but bear in mind the SP won't affect guard unfortunately. This does, however, provide a moblie and hadr-hitting element to any guard list.
