Hello.

I would like to make a 6th edition Space Marine army with my main force Imperial Fists (for the rerolls and tank buster) and allied with Ultramarines (for Telion).

Can I do this as there is nothing that I can find that says I can't but I want to make sure.

Thank you.

Yep, easily doable. You'll need to adhere to a CAD for one Chapter and at least and Allied detachment if not a CAD for the other, but other than that, you're good to go!

Yep. CAD, Allied Detachment, whatever formation you want. Armies can't normally have Allied Detachments of the same faction as their primary detachment, but marines are the exception.

The Space Marines FAQ wrote:Space Marines can be taken in an Allied Detachment (see page 122 of Warhammer 40,000: The Rules) even if your army's Primary Detachment contains units with the Space Marines Faction, provided that they have a different set of Chapter Tactics. Units in these Detachments are treated as Battle Brothers.

Thought as much - thanks for the clarification.
