Command Squad w/ Company Champion, 1 vet has lightning claw, 1 vet has melta bombs 150
Troops:
Tactical Squad w/ Missile Launcher, flamer, rhino 205 (X2=410)

HQ from Space Wolves (runepriest)
Elites from BA (priest)
Troops from Grey Knights (Terminators)
Fast Attack from Dark Angels (Ravenwing)
Heavy Support from Witch Hunters (Exocist)

Is this how you guys working it? Cause that give a major advantage to the space marine player against any other army since other armies don't have multiple factions. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3162360.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3162360.page GMT What Codex Best Supports SM

As in you can use more than one codex.

We are using the allies rules, so as long as it makes sence, I think he will allow it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3162369.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3162369.page GMT What Codex Best Supports SM http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3162388.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3162388.page GMT Re:What Codex Best Supports SM IoM army that best supports the SM.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3162406.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3162406.page GMT Re:What Codex Best Supports SM

This might be a noobish answer, but surely C:SM. If you're opposed to cheese, and want to field an Ultramarines-style Space Marine force, why bother with multiple Codices at all? Just stick with the Codex based around Codex Chapters, no?

Thats what I thought, but I wasn't sure if there was another codex that supported them well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3162535.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3162535.page GMT What Codex Best Supports SM http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3163569.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3163569.page GMT What Codex Best Supports SM

Which allies rules are you referring to exactly?

Thats the one. We are just modifing it as we need to (Deamonhunters=Grey Knights Which hunters=Sisters of battle). Everything gets run by our league orgonizer though, so as long as the fluf makes sence he will allow it. For example, he is runing a CSM-SW teem.

That's just the thing though. You can stretch it to make just about any army have a reason for fighting along side another.

However, since the old allies rule is now just that, the only way to have units from a different army under one commander is to be playing Apocalypse. Legally anyway, I guess your TO is allowed to do whatever he wants. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3165471.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3165471.page GMT What Codex Best Supports SM SM, obviously that would be C:SM itself. He is asking what would support he marines both tactically and in a fluffy way since he doesn't want to just cheese it.

To that I would say go with Imperial Guard.

Well, I suppose strictly speaking the Allies rules in Codex: Witch Hunters are still applicable for another three weeks (until the complete Codex: Sisters of Battle replaces it).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3165495.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3165495.page GMT What Codex Best Supports SM http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3165499.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3165499.page GMT What Codex Best Supports SM

Thanks! That makes a alot of sence. I like the idea of Space marines speerheading an assault while Basalisks and LRBT provide fire support.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3165628.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/388122/3165628.page GMT What Codex Best Supports SM SM's. The Space marines tackle the harder points of the enemy battleline, while the IG slog it home, overpowering any units the Space Marines are having trouble with and capturing objectives. Units such as MMV's can be used to take out armour, leaving Space Marine Devastators to annihilate heavy infantry such as Tyranid Warriors. Amongst the Imperial Guard, if your willing to acquire many Guardsmen, Conscripts led by Chenkov Work well as a sheer prcupine of lasgun fire that can afford to get destroyed due to
