Only reason I'd ever ally anything, is to get some flyers or get something with skyfire.
... Well, anything your army lacks, ally your self to it, that's all.
I've re found my joy of the DoW game...

Not played many games but I use blood angels with dark angels in my higher point games, and it seems to work pretty well, my dark angels have alot of ranged plasma while my blood angels have a very assault oriented force.
If you're asking how it is to use allies, I'd say it's alot of fun!
Anyone knows how many attacks Lightning Claws get? Can't figure it out in the Rulebook...
Edit: Just kidding, figured it out

They should drop the term space marine and FORCE everybody to use the term Adeptus Astartes.
OT: I've got this idea in my head that I can't get rid of, I really want to make some khornate space wolves but I'm not entirely sure which kits to buy to get the best result.
Probably best just buying a box of berserkers and a space wolf pack, then kit-bash to your hearts content.
You end up with so many superfluous parts from the wolf pack box.

I do agree that I too think of the GW Space Marine, but I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that GW needs to calm their tits over copyrights and third party stuff. Seriously , it's not funny anymore that they something up their ass 24/7...
For the whole kitbashing thing... If you have extra legs can I have them I bloody need legs
My current Chaos Force has a band of Space Wolf zerkers in it, captured alive and turned into Blood Crazed monsters. I recommend starting with a regular Space Wolf pack, a couple of Wulfen heads, and the Khorne Berzerker pack, thats what I did and mine turned out pretty well, just like Wolves but with more spikes and blood, as befits Khorne.
Actually, Patrick Wyatt (one of lead developers of Warcraft) writes in his blog that even as their boss (Allen Adham, one of co-founders of Blizzard) tried to obtain license from GW, he and rest of team preferred making their own IP ,he does acknowledge that WHFB was a huge influence (probably an euphemism for "we changed Metzen's fanfiction just enough so we don't get sued":P).
The blog is a great read if you're interested in history of Warcraft or Starcraft.
Found some damn awesome shoulderpads for chaos marines on a site called puppetswar. Might use them for my chaos marines, they look wonderful.
I'm damn curious. What would happen if a Pariah or psychic null entered the void..? Like Hive tyrants and their shadow in the warp thingy. I mean... They're anti void... Division by zero..?
The Void, Shadow of the Warp thing isn't what Paraiahs do. Pariahs and Nulls have no soul, they are just not there for Psykers, the antithesis of everything a Psyker is, psyker bane, etc. The Shadow in the Warp isn't that though, its because the Hive Mind communicates telepathically, and because there are so many creatures in the Nid Swarm, and there all part of the Hive Mind, it blocks out the warp, like white noise basically. Because of this, and since there has been records of Pariahs that have been "burned out" by a psychic force massive enough, i'd imagine that the Pariah would either get burned out, and become human, and then get nommed, or if they were sufficiently powerful enough, they might actually turn the tide against the nids, think about it, anything that isn't a Synapse creature that wandered into there null field would be outside of the influence of the hive mind, so they revert to there animal instincts, and become much easier to kill. Don't know what would happen if a Synapse creature went into the Null Field though.
That cleared things up a wee bit. Lexicanum article about it also helps i found...
What general should I paint for my Imperial fists army? Thinking of Lysander. then building it around focusing on a siege like unit(rather strange for an army that is master of defence... but... If they know the one thing, surely they know the other) Give them a vindicator with that big cannon etc.
But yeah, what general?
