I would also like to see Imperial forces (not members of the Tech Guard),
only able to purchase Titans as allies, this is how we have always played
it in our local games. It stops the Marines from getting too much
advantages, (eg. In a 3k game they can take an Imperial Artillery Company
as allies or a Reaver, but they cannot afford to get both as they could in
the old Space Marine V2 rules.)

The way I see the Imperial forces divided up, it is but under a different
name - Titan Legions. This is what I've put in the Core Rules about it:
The Forces of the Imperium
For ten thousand years the Imperium has warred on its enemies. Alien races
strike at the frontier systems. Rebellion, Chaos and treachery are
commonplace on millions of colonised worlds. In its perils, Mankind has one
guide: the Emperor. His rule is harsh and uncompromising, but for ten
thousand years he has stood between humanity and extinction. At his right
and left hands are the weapon and shield of Mankind, the Forces of the
Imperium.
Planetary Defense Forces: The Imperium's first line of defence against
alien and traitor incursions. Unfortunately, large concentrations of heavy
equipment are forbidden by Imperial Edict to prevent successful revolts.
Even so, often poorly trained and lacking true front line equipment, the
PDF is nonetheless supposed to hold its ground until reinforcements arrive.
Imperial Guard: They are recruited from the elite of the PDF and represent
the bulk of the mobile Imperial military. Entire armies are recruited from
a single planet and spend decades defending the Imperium, then allowed to
settle a planet of their own.
The Sisters of Battle: The fighting arm of the Adeptus Ministorum - the
holy church of the Imperium. Trained to the highest standards, they are
utterly dedicated to the protection of the Imperial Faith and scour the
Imperium in tireless search of heretics and the faithless.
Space Marines: The Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes are the toughest, best
trained and best equipped soldiers in the Imperium. Genetic manipulation,
surgicly altered bodies, power armor and constant hypno-training allow for
centuries of warfare.
Detailed Chapters: Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Space Wolves
Titan Legions: The various Orders of the Divisio Militaris build and
maintain the vast war machines that rule the battlefield. Hundreds of feet
tall, wraped in protective Void Shields, sheathed in meters of armor and
carrying the largest weapons available, Titans are the most powerful force
in the Imperium.
That makes five very distinct army lists. There'll be some crossover
between the various army lists, but not a whole lot. Anyone interested in
my breakdown can look at my Core Armies Proposal in the Files section.
