Lets be honest unless your a marine the Grey Knights are not so much allies and more enemies that happen to be shooting at the same thing you are well pretending to be from the same team and whats worse if you try to defend yourself from them your now a traitor but they are not. Also the Dark Angels I think still win because not only might they ditch but they will kill you or worse for even knowing something about the Fallen.

The Dark Angels might kill you if you know something of the Fallen. This is a very specific, highly unlikely scenario.

The Marines Malevolent are a chapter famous only for the fact that they will nonchalantly butcher civilians and other mortals if it is convenient for them, and view it as a just act.

Those Minotaur's, man. A Space Marine chapter with Prefered Enemy: Space Marines. I swear if I heard they were coming to my aid I'd set up an ambush and make sure whatever came out from warp travel wasn't there for long. I might even try to garner a momentary ceasefire from my opponent and ask them to help me out.

They are currently the Executioners of Renegade Space Marines by the High Lords of Terra.

They just got pretty good at killing more space marines.

My vote goes for the GK and Marines Molevolent grox-holes

**Beaviz81**

Alpha Legion masquerading as Ultramarines is quite bad as well, but not sure if they can be called allies.

Iron Hands basically treat guardsmen like cattle and force them to fight in situations they have no real hope of surviving, or hope of inflicting any damage really, like tricking guards into charging into a cave full off mutants and daemonettes, knowing the guards would break and die almost to a man. But hey, free meatshields.

Well that is what the guard is for after all.

But I agree, Iron Hands, Marines Malevolent and Grey Knights are rather bad as allies

The Marines Malevolent I find to be even less sympathetic than most Chaos Marines. At least they're open about their team killing practices. Imagine the hope you might get as an Imperial citizen to see Space Marines come to rescue your world, only to torch you and everyone you know for getting in the way. And laughing about it because "lawlz, puny humans."

**Fotherington-Thomas**

Chaos ones. Followed closely by the loyal ones. They're all complete maniacs in one way or another and any Guardsman fighting alongside them is in deeper trouble than usual.

**Tyr Grimtooth**

The Irritable Bowel Space Marines chapter is a pretty crappy ally.

**Supertony51**

Hmmmmm....

I'd probally go with the knights of blood.

They beat up allies as much as their enemies,to the point that they have been declared renegade.
