Hey all

I'm wondering what might be solid chapter tactics or Codex specific Space Marines to use as allies for my 40k Admech army.

A force that makes good use of heavy support and vehicles.
Iron hands maybe?

Iron hands is thematic and gives you uniform feel no pain for all your units. What units do you want to use in heavy support.

Well I was hoping to actually get some melee backup (thinking of it now) seeing as how my admech are kinda lacking in that area.

So Blood Angels might be a good choice probably.

I need some protection for my servitors and large shooting squads and someone that can tie up some guys in cc.

Something Admech is sorely lacking is psychic backup. Maybe run that formation that allows 3-5 psykers and just go Ultra for their chief librarian?

Just to give you a bit of advice if your care about competitive play, Blood Angels are one of the worst books in the game and by far the worst loyalist marine codex.

Anything BA can do SM do much better.
