1) You can have allies but the rules are mostly against you. The army has to be really well thought out to work properly as you will have issues casting psychic powers, using command points, or special rules affecting other allied forces. If it's casual play with friends - sure!
Do you have some sort of storyline of marines allying with Eldar or something? could be a good basis for an army. Remember Blood Angels and Necrons teamed up once! officially
2) The 20+ year old ones? They'll be out of scale but youre going for the retro look. You might want to paint 10 or so marines and use them for Kill Team to get warmed up and back into the game. You'd have to check eBay or the swap shop here for those original models. You might get lucky or you might have to paint strip some of them if you buy them second hand.
Google/instagram/look up retrohammer or oldhammer and you should find a ton of old school looking warhammer painting style of those old models

I am thinking of idea of fanfiction for my alliance codex. So basically in RT there is this guy who’s half eldar and half space marine. He was also a psychic person. What if he joined a custom made chapter and him being there makes them want to work together to kill the tyranids and chaos because they both don’t like them.

In the actual canon, the half-Eldar would probably be executed for mutation. The fun part about custom chapters though, is that you can do whatever backstory you feel like. Heck, I had a “Space Clowns” chapter before converting them to Salamanders.
If you’re open to some food for thought, how would you have the chapter function without being considered heretics? Do the Eldar hide away and show up as “coincidence” when the marines are fighting? Has the Inquisition sanctioned them as a special unit (like the Deathwatch) and a necessary evil for taking on Chaos? Your call in the end, just throwing some stuff out there.

They would be trying to help kill the tyranids and the genestealers so it’s like “Oh wow we have something in common” and since the tau and eldars are willing to help they can work together to stop them. So it’s like a normal army but divided with the space marines being the main infantry with the eldar being the light vehicles and the tau being combat specialists.

If you have to kill, then kill in the best manner. If you slaughter, then slaughter in the best manner. Let one of you sharpen his knife so his animal feels no pain. |
