Well, Eldar and Humans can't have kids if you were wondering. And indeed this would apply to anything not related to Chaos or Genestealers.
Orks are compeltely asexual so its out of the question. The closest an ork could come to romance would be finding a big loud gun.
The closest you'd come to what you are probably thinking of would be between strains of abhumans. There are many many subspecies of human, many with major differences, that are still considered to be part of humanity.
It hasn't happened. Xenos are barely explored in the fluff/books, and when they are it's 99% as adversaries. The Eldar would view a relationship with a human akin to bestiality, humans would view it as heresy.
Source? The source is that they never directly contradicted his existance. They just never wrote about him again and hoped people would forget about him.
I'm still looking for "him" though. I can't for the life of me remember his name and its making finding him rather troublesome.
Looking at the bio, born on Badab, worked with the dark angels, was an astropath for a while.
Its not a job you switch roles in typically. I think we can safely discount him as a relic of rogue Trader as having no reliable impact on todays fluff.
Yes that is what i was looking for. What book is it in?
True enough its a fanciful bit of writing. It still doesn't discout it as a valid piece of fluff though. Although i suppose thats open to interpretation isn't it?
Dunno how much of it was actually left after the war but according to Lexicanum the whole of the Badab system including Badab Primaris is under the Star Phantoms control. So i'd assume theres still something left of Badab Prime thats worth holding.

Probably a fortress/es with all its guns aimed at the Maelstrom or something along those lines.

In the end, there is no such thing as "one singular truth" in 40k and the various sources of fluff - which includes not only the official outlets of GW, Black Library, Forgeworld and FFG (which contradict each other regularly) but also the fans - are all on equal footing. It's left to the fans to decide what they want to roll with.
Personally, Human + Eldar I could see happen on a biological level, but culturally each of these civilisations seems highly xenophobic (with the Humans it's hate, with the Eldar it's arrogance) so that it would be a rare thing indeed. "Special snowflake" kind of rare.
I suppose in some dark, forgotten corner of the galaxy a depraved human and an even more depraved Eldar meet. Their romance is forbidden, abohorent, reviling and not very pleasant to any onlookers. However, despite all that, they meet. They are a rare, 1 in a million chance pairing. For the human, the angular yet alluring beauty of an Eldar is too much for him or her. For the Eldar, his or her twisted and disgusting fetishes over ride any sense of self respect. Their genetic material is incompatible but for the forbidden factor of their "love" well makes up for it.
At least that's how it could happen according to what people say is Gee-Dubs stance on Eldar/Human relations.
I can well imagine Dark Eldar not being too put off by the depravity in the way that their Craftworld cousins would. Either that... or some Dark Eldar are forced to for the amusement of other Dark Eldar. :p
Slaaneshi Daemons are pretty much lore-bound to do something freaky with whatever they get their hands on. Of course, neither example is exactly romance or relationship...!

I know where. The Dark City of Commoragh, where nothing is truly forbidden, and where the strong rule and the weak merely submit. There are supposed to be alien mercenaries in the outer districts, but since this is from the Dark Eldar codex, I assume 'alien' here refers to non-Dark Eldar. There are bound to be Human mercs there (given Humans are scattered like weeds across the galaxy), and given the reputation of the Dark Eldar, some things are bound to happen.

C.S Goto please leave. You aren't welcome here.
I don't know how to react to that....
On topic, if it's Dark Eldar then... well, what explanation is needed?

We are talking about same book where Tau have legs instead of heel? And where it is mentioned that they have Eldar crystal in their head that controls entire Tau people via pheromones?So yeah, pretty vaild book.

I agree.
I don't see why Eldar and Humans are not able to interbreed. The difference between them is minimal, moreover they are made by the same parent race - the Old Ones. Humans being "average" and Eldar being "more powerful" version of the same being.
Ehm they are vastly different. The Eldars are far removed from humans, and even so, humans can't breed with our closest relative the chimps for a variety of reasons.
Beaviz81 wrote: Ehm they are vastly different. The Eldars are far removed from humans, and even so, humans can't breed with our closest relative the chimps for a variety of reasons.
But then again, Eldar aren't a true life form even in the context of the setting, seeing as they're living weapons created by the Old Ones.

Ye Nay sayers! Love can always bloom! Next on the list. The two missing space marine chapters were female and where hunted down because of reasons still unclear.

I don't care if the victim was a xenos, rape is rape, and it is unforgivable. Warrant Officer Crag, escort these men to the airlock. May His Imperial Majesty have mercy on you, for I have none.
It's entirely feasible for romances between species if a writer decides it is and it's well written. Despite the background getting more and more tied down in recent years, it really is still in a state of flux, it changes from novel to novel and codex to codex, the entire Necron history just got utterly altered and the tyranids took a major shift in technology and weakness in the last codex, going from warp travelling super beasts to narvel (?) craft reliant and in a desperate race against the hive's own woken metabolism to devour or die out.
We won't have a human/eldar hybrid until someone writes one up and he or she is a great character.
To have hybrids, you must have the same number of chromosomes. Anyway, GW mainly take inspiration from the universe of the Lord of The Ring. You have Beren and Luthien, Aragorn and Arwen...
So we can easily imagine a deep love story beetwen Marneus Calgar and Jain Zar, for an example.

We don't know how hazardous their -other- bodily fluids are. It's probably normal, unless you are a Space Wolf, then it's wolf seed! Cause Space Wolves are special!
Also, I'd totally support Marneus Calgar/Jain Zar. Wait till s/he finds out what he did to an avatar of khaine.
To answer the original question as bluntly as possible;
Humans and Eldar could probably do the deed to some extent, but reproduction would be impossible, we're more likely to breed with Chimpanzees, which we can't due to a couple of chromosomes being flipped on the DNA, and we're pretty closely related.
Human and Eldar DNA would be totally incompatible. Aren't they supposed to have avian ancestors anyway?

Do you remember that story about a guy called Macbeth? He came from a planet called Scortlund, he met three rogue psykers, then murdered and usurped the planetary governor.

The Half-Eldar Space Marine guy, in the current setting, would have received a bolt-pistol trepanning by the Inquisition once his genetic tests came back.
You think the Ultramarines are going to allow some half-blood freak to sully the geneseed of Roboute Guilliman? Get real.

And if you look up what the UMs were back then, you would find they were a new chapter forced to scrounge their equipment from traitor marines on a desert planet.
Note the bit in my post between the first set of commas.
"In the current setting".
The galaxy is a much darker place now than it was then. Back then, having what was basically Tanis Half-Elven in Spaaaaace was a cool thing. Now? Now, that gak doesn't fly in the Imperium.
Did anyone mentioned Bequa and frigid Ostian in Fulgrim? Two chicks in "a Thousand sons"?
Ups didn't see inter species sign...
Spoiler:
Bequa playfully punched his arm with her free hand and said, ‘Don’t be obtuse, Ostian, I shan’t stand for it. You’re a dreadful boy to tease me so.’
‘Tease you?’ he said. ‘I don’t know—’
‘You know exactly what I mean,’ said Bequa, releasing his arm and turning on her heel to face him. ‘I want you, right here, right now.’
‘What?’
‘Oh don’t be so prudish, have you no sense for the sensual? Haven’t you heard my music?’
‘Yes, but—’
‘But nothing, Ostian,’ said Bequa, jabbing him in the chest with a long, painted fingernail and pushing him back against the glass. ‘The body is the soul’s prison unless all five senses are fully developed and open. Open your senses and the windows to your soul fly open. I’ve always found that when sex involves all five senses it’s a quite mystical experience.’
‘No!’ cried Ostian, squirming free of her grip.
Bequa took a step towards him, but he backed away with his hands held out before him. His body palpitated at the thought of being Bequa Kynska’s plaything and he shook his head as she advanced towards him.

The galaxy really isn't darker now than it was then. The half eldar space marine was the result of rape. Those days were the times of really gribbly Lovecraftian horrible chaos, not the mustache twirling 'tie you to the railroad and cackle' chaos we have now, but the ancient tentacle cannibal grinning insanity mutation chaos. Also, if you read the old Lore about the tyranids, you'd be taking a san check, they weren't kind enough to reduce everyone to digested soup in those days, they fleshcrafted living sentient and aware beings into their tools and weapons and fused them to their ships or grafted to their bodies, compacted by the joyous smiles on the faces of the duped humans lead by their genestealer masters onto the heaving, pulsing biosips to be 'joined with the fathers'... stories from those times could be far darker than they are now, it's true they could also be more insane or comedic, but there was darkness in abundance back in the day.
I think it's unlikely that an CWE or even DE would deign to mate with or be sexual with a human (whom they do not regard as animals, but more like barbarians). They would both probably avoid that sort of relationship out of an aloofness or arrogance.
The Exodites however... Not a lot is known about them so it's not out of the question. They always did strike me as the tree-huggin' hippie types.

I think we're getting hung up on the hybrid thing.
Due to different biologies precious few xenos can mate with humanity.
Stealer Hybrids are possible due to the way that stealers infect your dna.
Half-Eldar were once possible.
Who knows if Tau can breed with humans? Has anyone tried? I'd doubt it.
Doesn't really matter - the question is, can they boink?
Orks- not really
Eldar/DE - yup. Eldar will only do so with other Eldar, but DE will boink ANYTHING, pulse optional...
Humans- will boink anything, but will get shot for it if discovered
Tau - insufficient data. Probably only their own kind.
SM - Action man. Nothing but plastic and a trademark.
CSM- Emperor's Children might dispute this, or not
Daemons - most wouldn't even get the need, and have no need to do so. Slaaneshi would do so as a control/seduction into chaos Succubi thing...
Necrons - um no, barring some radical tech-upgrades. Theoretically do-able if you had a Lord that was a Lothario in life, and wanted to keep it going..
Nids. They'll implant stuff in you, but i wouldn't call it boinking. The slither slither of little tails is sure to follow though As mentioned above, Stealer hybrids are an exception, as they infect you and jazz your sex drive, to make you go breed..

IIRC, Jes Goodwin (who, y'know, invented the Eldar) reckoned that there were probably a lot of hybrids kicking about in Comorragh.
It was in one of the "designer's videos" that GW released when the new Dark Eldar codex came out. So, fairly recent if not actually written down anywhere.

Well, there we have it. If Word of God says so, then it's possible between Humans and Eldar.
IMHO Xenology also contained the Ethereals' pheromonal control gland and an Imperial citizen actually doing science instead of quoting ancient tracts and resorting to the principle of authority
IIRC, Tau genetics are not compatible. It'd be like a human trying to breed with a bovine. Though now that there are those... cat people.... I don't even want to contemplate where *that* is going to go.
Except those Cat people are actually a sub-species of human. Just like Ogryn, Squats, and Ratlings. So they would potentially be genetically compatable. Tau, not so much.
Holy Chri-.... are you serious? I have to admit that my mind had blocked out the cat-people thing after I had originally heard about the idea in the middle of last year, after some unrelated, but no less psychologically traumatizing, events involving cat people from another setting.
Well... I should probably start reading up on them, it's inevitable that someone will want to play one in a Dark Heresy or Rogue Trader campaign. *bangs head against wall*

Dark Eldar may or may not - however they might find it amusing to "convince" others to do so and they have plenty of methods to make it happen.

There ARE humans that try to breed with bovines for their own sick pleasure though A sentient bovine-based life form might enjoy it also, and reciprocate
They don't expect a half-bovine hybrid, they just want to get their jollies.
Same goes for almost anything else they can catch, sane or not Crocodiles for instance... Not so sane, that..

Yeah, there is no doubt that you can "get it on" with any living thing. You just won't get any results unless its the same species or a derivative thereof.
I'd not be shocked if most human-abhuman matchups would mule out or at least have a very low conception rate either, even though the original base-stock was homo sapiens.

When I say "breed", I mean "have offspring", not "get it on with". They make servitors for that.
As far as rural living goes... I'm originally from the Deep South of the US. I got out of there many, many years ago and have never looked back. The Innsmouth Look? Not reserved to New England.

I can only hope, because my DH group contains some Red Dwarf fans, but it also contains two women, who might be totally enamored at the idea of playing bolter-slinging Death Cult Assassin Cat-girls.
Even that doesnt make a lot of sense, since the Eldar were created, pretty much fully-formed and advanced as all hell, 60 million years ago. Why the homo sapien species would be at all genetically related is... questionable. I'd have to see the quote in context.

Maybe they were created to be compatible with a wide range of different life form types. As soon as you drop off the natural evolution side of things, then you can say anything. Do Eldar have genes? Maybe they are all actually extremely complicaetd self-organising nano machine hives.
Also Mass Effect ratehr neatly dealt with the whole inter-species breeding thing with the Asari.

Also some can remember that in some old GW books it were humans whose origins could be not-so-natural (afair oldcrons/C'Tan were pointed at). So maybe it's homo sapiens bellum malleus who are most compatible with xenos filth
It is thought that the Old Ones originally seeded the galaxy with life, but after their destruction, those that were not already involved with the War in Heaven were left to develop without their interference. So while what would become Mankind may have originated with the Old Ones, they were not as... guided... in their development as the Orks or Eldar or any other preceding race was.
Really, the idea of the Eldar as Elves in Spaaace (and the Dark Eldar just being Dark Elves) is as old as the IP is, and half-elves have always been a popular thing in fantasy gaming and fantasy fiction. Personally, I prefer my Elves to be a bit more... otherworldy. More like the various legends of the Fair Folk or the Fae from a number of cultures, and definitely Not Human.
"The Black Library novel The Chapter's Due has as a minor character Kaarja Salombar The Corsair Queen. She's variously described as "...beautiful, with palm skin and warm almond shaped eyes of striking violet...there were some who said there was Eldar blood in her veins..." and "...more than a hint of inhuman Eldar to her lithe frame, and a wild mane of azure hair flowing around her shoulders..." She also bags at least a trio of Ultramarines and near slays Cato Sicarius before getting piked by the Ultramarines 2nd Company standard, which should make a bit of a hero to the various Ward haters"
Granted I haven't read the book, this is what i found on another website. But since they haven't retconned that Rogue Trader bit, I guess its whatever the particular fan thinks. I thought it said something about Eldar/Human Hybrids in the 4th or 5th Edition Rulebooks?
I personally would have to say its possible, But not likely as every race hates every other race in 40k.

Yeah, I'm aware of the character but, if you look at the Xeno-hating Imperium, wouldn't it make sense to claim that someone was a half-Xeno in order to turn opinion against them? Even many criminals in Imperial society are religious and hating of mutants, Xenos and warp-filth.
