Now my 2FIM:

1) The IG and TG. In this I support the combination of the lists. The TG is
not that unique; it didn't even exist before the TL and hasn't been heard
from since. In the original fluff there was no "machine god" (yechh! I relly
hate that apparition), the titan legions were not part of Adeptus Mechanicus
but formed their own branch of Imperial armed forces: The Collegia Titanica,
of which the battle titans formed the part called Divisio Militaris. When
titans needed infantry, IG regiments were seconded to them (the Scutarii
regiments). The Knights were not really part of army, but a culture similar
(somewhat) to Eldar Exodites. The knight worlds were seconded to a forge
world: they supplied food for the FW and the FW supplied spare parts and
machines for the KWs.

2) Imperial "allies". The problem is that this can be viewed from two
different perspectives: army command and game. No army commander would be
stupid enough to use special forces alone in a frontal assault without
support from the rest of the army. In the game POV, however, the situation
is a bit different: it can lead to cheese mongering and min/maxing in the
worst sense, so limiting "allies" is understandable. Unfortunately not a
simple situation.
