Space Marines, the best weapon at disposal for the Imperium, are all xenophobe, someone in a degree so extreme is highly probable allies shooting each other even before they meet their enemies. Second, Who should say SM to ally with xenos? The High Council? Even if the Emperor itself will raise from the Throne and order them to make a joint operation they will esitate. I don't see anyone strong enough to give such order hoping to be followed without the risk of a civil war.

History repeating. War never changes. Space Marine Legions will rise again. Pure seeds from the omega vault, new massive founding, i dunno how, but Legions do the Empire, and probably Legions are the only "self made" tool the Imperium have to face those threats. 250k Space Marines can face almost everything that terrorizes the Galaxy at the moment, even bigger Hive Fleets...

1. Emps was never lenient towards mutants or xenos.. Space Marines were dictated to commit xenocide.

2. Omega Vault and Legions.. doubteable... the IoM actually has one pure source of gene seed available with guilliman's stasis body but they wonb't use iot or actually be able to get his material.. most of the chapters woudl riot because of this desecration.

3. and 250k marines or a whole legion were sometimes not enough to get things done during the heresy and gc era, also bear in mind that the mass of equipment that the legions used, is lost.
