i don't see why a alliance between SM and eldar couldn't happen, maybe not with Ulthwe ( even though they are the ones to most likely join a alliance with humans in any other situation ) but with biel-tan (although they are the 2nd most racist type of eldar after lyanden)
Humans don't know what they are dealing with that is why they must pack up and leave so we can all benefit. Allience with humans is pointless because they are primitives, just look at their history and current status of "their worlds"
yea lets say humans don't know what they are doing, and lets say the eldar does, that being said was it not eldar who created slaanesh and put the warp in the state that it is in today, that means is it not eldar's arrogance who doomed the galaxy to the state that it is in today.

Indeed human worlds are not pretty. On the other hand, at least they aren't mostly comprised of either spaceships(craft worlds) or daemon worlds from slaanesh. To give credit to Biel-tan, at least they don't seem to possess as many idiotic farseers. The appearance of biel-tan in retribution not with-standing.

The Eldar trying to destroy Slaanesh are doing so for purely selfish reasons, they certainly aren't saviors.
Also, of the races that are still present in 40k, the Necrons have the oldest claim to the galaxy :P

Hardly. Only some of the craftworlds are actively trying to kill slaanesh, even then most efforts are concentrated on trying to create a new god since that worked so well last time. The remaining two thirds of your species are either perpetuating slaanesh(dark eldar), or have withdrawn to seclusion(Exodites). To top it off Eldar consistently sabotage themselves with farseers.
The group with the best chance of killing Slaanesh are the necrons, the Eldar's other arch-enemy outside of chaos.
Just so you know..
The Emperor himself and no lesser than Eldrad Ulthran were about to forge an alliance.
Eldrad as a Farseer predicted that Horus will betray the Emperor and demanded him to be excecuted.
The Human Empire then broke the alliance with Eldar.
Then shortly after Horus betrayed the Emperor...
Humanity in 40K is just blindly ignorant and a lot of enemies and problems are selfmade.
They could have had an alliance for quite some time.
Still they choose to rather fight Eldar.
And you guys want to tell me that trusting in Mon Keighs is better?
I go and hang around with my cousins from Commorragh, see you later...in the pits.
You're way off. Eldrad and the Emperor never met or spoke with one another. There was no alliance in the making. Eldrad tried to warn the Emperor of Horus' betrayal through Fulgrim, without realizing at the time that Fulgrim had already been tainted by the Laer Blade.

In the new books they where but BEFORE the new books they did had one. Eldar and humans where friends. But Eldrad told the emprah about his fav son betraying him and then the emperor got mad and the alliance was over.
New books retconed that and made Eldrad tell fulgrim because "my center spot" shenanigans.
Also people in this thread are generalizing the eldar as a whole rather than as craftworlds.
The Blood Ravens do not like Ulthwe at all, but they at least have a history of co-peration with Biel Tan. And what I would very much like to see in the new DOW is the extence of the relationship between Gabriel and Macha besides the modicum of respect that they have from one another.
I like the idea of Macha forcing Gabriel's hand on the campaign and them going against each other as they end up having no choice.
I definitely see Macha and Gabriel at least have respect of worthy foes. When it comes to their interactions, I bet its hostile but quite willing to put aside killing each other to deal with a bigger threat. More interesting would be if Eldar Harlequins get involved, as that guarantees chaos is involved somehow. Out of curiosity does anyone know if the C.S. Goto books are cannon? @SharKnight That is almost what happened at the end of Tartarus, though greater daemon released from prison along with a warp storm broke up the fight.

Ok, thank you for confirming that.
Craftworld Eldar have their fate to be fed to Slaanesh after, their Farseers predict and are blindly followed without logic. Venerate the immortal machine. (I'm done saffron, this has been fun though).

that's a thing we all been wondering for a while
Saffron
Excuse me Farseer sabotage Eldar, you don't even understand warp, and you dare to insult me?
Saffron
Necron don't claim nothing but their deaths
Saffron
You don't understand the value of Cratworld or maidenworld alike that is why you are horrible createrues who are slow in everything and worship corpse
SharKnight
they arent, but some events happened in a different fashion.
This came from the devs on the relic news forums, last decade.

oh i know very well the difference between craft worlds and maiden worlds AND other worlds in the galaxy,
and eldar would destroy a thousand worlds to save just a one of them, be it a hive world filled with untold amount of humans or a paradise world ripe with natural life, you can claim eldar are doing whats best for the galaxy and for other life in it, but in fact a selfish race hellbent on doing what ever they want to survive even at the great cost to others
Saffron
There is no point in talking to human when he doesn't understand the how things work, we fight because we must, that is why you have our warning if you don't listen to it you will be perished in dance of death. Victory is our Fate

Ok, thank you for confirming that.
Craftworld Eldar have their fate to be fed to Slaanesh after, their Farseers predict and are blindly followed without logic. Venerate the immortal machine. (I'm done saffron, this has been fun though).
