BA Codex of the Marine/Necron alliance.

However, no Chapter is going to deliberately seek out aliens for the purposes of an alliance. Such agreements are temporary, and there's no guarantee that after the fight the "allies" won't turn on each other.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544294/5915618.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544294/5915618.page GMT How do SM react to Xenos. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544294/5915627.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544294/5915627.page GMT How do SM react to Xenos.

Different chapters probably have different attitudes. Some examples.

The Black Templars. When the Templars launch a crusade the might come into a sector with the plan to purge it of anything that isn't Imperial, and even anything that isn't Imperial ENOUGH.

The Ultramarines. They are more in the vein of the Medieval military order that the marines originally were. The Lord of Macragge is both a military commander and an administrator. I am sure that within the area of space controlled by the UMs there are non human planets. The powers that be simply realize that they can't cleanse every planet at once. Resources are finite. So, they make eiter loose alliances or at least agreements of neutrality with some of them in order to take care of immediate threats. This doesn't mean that that cannot change when they get to Planet 427 on the list of Things to Do.

In short (too late I know) I don't think the marines randomly travel through space in their BattleBarges spoiling for a fight with anything that crosses their path. They are not mindless military automatons as some people think, they are shrewd strategic thinkers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544294/5915697.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544294/5915697.page GMT How do SM react to Xenos. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544294/5915701.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544294/5915701.page GMT How do SM react to Xenos.

It depends on the situations surrounding the meeting. Your post seems to indicate a xenos force going "Salamanders, let us go or we kill all your civilians", to which no chapter would respond well too(meaning they would all kill the xenos scum threatening the imperium).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544294/5915937.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544294/5915937.page GMT How do SM react to Xenos.
Space Marine: Excuse me, Is that a Halloween Costume?
Xenos: No it isn't, What is this Halloween thing?
Space Marine: BANG! BANG! BANG! Die Xenos Scum!

Scenario 2:

Space Marine: Excuse me, Is that a Halloween Costume?
Xenos: Yes it is, do you like it?
Space Marine: BANG! BANG! BANG! Die Heretic!

Scenario 3:

Space Marine 1: Oh look, Xenos.
Space Marine 2: Oh yeah, I see them.
Space Marine 1+2: BANG! BANG! BANG!

In all seriousness however, I would think most chapters would base it on the Xenos race involved and the situation they are placed in, if the need was dire enough they would ally temporarily, if not they would fight.

Space Marines I would think would ally with Eldar and Tau well enough in most occassions, but if they found either race on one of the Imperiums worlds with no other hostile life, then it would be on like donkey kong.

But I think it's that Black Templar know Eldar and Tau would also try to kill a tyranid hive if it confronted the two of them

But as soon as that tyranid hive is gone. its game-on]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544294/5916258.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544294/5916258.page GMT How do SM react to Xenos.

Seriously, it would take a whale of a reason reason for most Chapters and DE to work together.

Because they didn't think SM had enough of the allies matrix as battle brothers already? Heaven forfend!

Especially since most other folks have one or none...

SM actually works out for that honestly...At least in cases of shared enemies. Granted, that may not be battle brother worthy still. Though I could see them both campaigning through a system if it was bad enough to warrant it(eg:massive genestealer infestation) and working together on it. And then killing each other for actual control of the system after of course.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544294/5918649.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544294/5918649.page GMT How do SM react to Xenos.

So it doesn't work..
Because the definition of battlebrother does not say : "may get along until shared interests cease to exist" , right?

Every Legiones Astartes was trained to end the xeno menace.
Some kept their oaths, others failed and we have 2 basic flavors now.
The disciplined Adeptus astartes trooper and the selfish traitor. The first one follows orders and may restrain himself so the xeno may live ( for now ). The second one is going to backstab anyone, xenos are tools to use and drop at a whim..
Both aren't planning to spare the xeno.

A lot of chapters are wlling to allow Eldar to live to destroy chaos or Orks.
Similarly some chapters are not willing to allow any alien to survive contact with them.
