Definitely Space Marines. I mean, it's not as though Games Workshop has spent 20 years balancing the armies, nor is it the case that the armies specialize in different things, giving each one advantages and disadvantages concurrent with the context of the battle. Nope, definitely Space Marines.
It's not that Space Marines turn on Imperial Guard or vice versa. It is the ones loyal to the Emperor fighting to the Heretics.
man for man the space marines are stronger, they are augmented, generaly fielded with some form of power armor, and have many hundreds of years of combat experience, while an imperial guardsman is armored with light flak armor and issued only a lasgun. however the imperial guard gains strength through superior numbers, and massively powerfull and numerous armored vehicles. the imperial guardsmen in the universe outnumber the space marines several hundred thousand to one. however in one on one combat an individual space marine would almost certinly be more powerfull, on the other hand in battalion level combat the guard may be better prepared
NO, Valkries are for the Imperial guard. Space Marines use Thunderhawk Gunships.
Answer# Imperial Guard + Space Marines (of all types except traitors) + Eldar (sometimes under certain circumstances) + [All Imperials]# Chaos Space Marines + Chaos Daemons + any human traitors of the Imperials # Tau + Imperial Guard (under certain circumstances) # Eldar + Orks (by manipulating them) + Space Marines/Imperial Guard (under certain circumstances) # Space Marine Chapter: Soul Drinkers + Dark Eldar (happened once)
AnswerWell half of it depends on who you will play against and the other depends if you like it or no. Space Marine - These guys it doesn't matter. Chaos Marine - These guys it doesn't matter. Ork - Long ranged weapons like tau (IG). Eldar - Try some close combat and some ranged (N) Dark Eldar - Ranged (IG) Tyranid - my brother has this and i am space marine i shoot half of his army down but then he kills me with his close combat guys so you would want a variety (N) Tau - Need close combat guys but either way tau has the best fire power and will easily kill close combat guys (N) N = Necron IG = Imperial Guard
yes however you need to have the Aquila or whatever the 2 headed eagle is called on 1/2 of all you units. So if you have 2 tanks 1 needs to have 1. Try using the transfers with the eagle on it, the eagles on the aegis defence line and sky shield count as one eagle per space marine.
Space Marines and Guard don't turn on each other. Some Guard and Marines are declared heretics by the Inquisition. That means they no longer fight for the Emperor and are either renegades (which can still be called on in times of need) or have fallen to the Dark Gods of Chaos. You also must keep in mind that most Guardsmen have never seen a Space Marine (or an Asartes as they call them) they have heard of them, but if a Guardsman regiment that has heard rumors of the arch enemy being there with Chaos Space Marines and has never seen an Asartes before will fire on any thing that they think looks like a Heretic to them. If the Guard regiment fired on a loyal Space Marine strike force they would then be declared Hereticus and immediately killed.

Answer It depends what you like. If you have read the background fluff about one or the other and liked it, or you find them more interesting in general pick them.I would say that Space marines are probably the best starter army as Imperial guard play style can get more complex.
AnswerNo, the God Emperor of Mankind did, using his own DNA he created 20 Primarchs, who in turn created the Space Marines.
It varies depending what you arm them with, this is copyrighted material so we can't answer that question.
