Okay, so I've got a DA army, and am slowly massing a farsight tau force, my question, kinda because I'll probably do it anyway, is, would it be plausible for the dark angels in all their secret agendaness align themselves( temporarily anyway) with xenos such as tau and eldar to get a shot at the fallen. I think it'd be a cool idea for the tau at theperdus rift to let some DA join in against some chaos seeping through.

The Dark Angels were the most xenophobic marines in the rules and had restrictions to allies.

I dont think its a good idea to use DA alongside any xenos race.

To prove their loyality, the DA would just annihilate the xenos and take any info from them.
You dont want to mess with those interrogator-chaplains.....

The only short time period you may cover, would be with some fallen around ( = primary target ) and the xenos erased later
( = secondary target ) , just a short lived silent agreement.

But since Asmodai was removed from this codex series, why not?

And if you're going to use "two" broken codex's, the floor is all yours

Though it's funny as I'm also considering a Tau force to fight my Angels.

In the fluff it wouldn't happen but for a game sure.

The old Codex states as a special rule:
"The dark angels refuse to fight alongside non-humans except under the most dire of circumstances."
And this even includes Ogryns and Ratlings.

Simply because they dont want xenos poking around in their business.

I think they skipped this rule in the new codex though.

And yes, DA is the most xenophobic legion.

agreed. the DA would be one of the chapters MOST against fighting alongside xenos.
