Although I do think it quite feasible that a Dark Eldar would commit horrible filthy violation of a human of either gender.

In Nightbringer, one of the higher ups on Pavonis gets freaky with a consenting Dark Eldar lady on a fairly regular basis.

He went crazy and skinned people alive though....

Not all that surprising...

Sounds like a hell of a date.

**ObliviousBlueCaboose**

Hello all, Commissar Caboose here. All of you have been declared heritics and are secheduled for summery execution. Have a nice day.

Back on topic, i agree with the point that no eldar would want to mate with a "animal" and with imperial propaganda no human would want to shag a space elf. Also agree with the point that the species are most likely not biological capible.

**Tadashi**

And this is Battle-Brother Tadashi of the Blood Ravens Chapter. By the authority given by the Emperor to the Space Marines at the dawn of His reign, the execution order is put on hold.

Your tag reads Devestator, that makes you a Space Marine.

As an Excruciator of His Ordos of the Holy Inquisition, I will remind all Imperial citizens to "abhor the alien, and shun his works". To invite congress with the xeno is to invite heresy. To invite heresy is to invite retribution.

**Atrocity Exhibition**

wouldn't the multi-xenos Tau Empire be more of an inter-Xenos playground. I've no idea what the fluff says about it, just going by the 'open arms' feel of the race...

Nope. it's so strict against it that even Tau from different Castes (which because of this are now almost subspecies of Tau) cannot interbreed.

Your tagline indicates that you're Second Fiddle on a Warlord Titan.

Now, as far as the Tau Empire is concerned... this may be more open to inter-species relations and such, but not involving the Tau themselves, excepting maybe between, say, some Earth-Caste builders and some Human masons and engineers? I'm not sure how the rank-and-file of the Tau Castes deal with such things as skilled Human labor and the like... are they still the "second class citizens" as the rest of the humans, or are they noted as equals? Hard to say.

However, given that we know nothing about Tau reproduction, I think crossbreeding with them is pretty much out, Love Can Blam! not withstanding. However, I can see that several species might be going about getting their Kirk on with members of other, non-Tau species. Like, I dunno, surviving Squat refugees and Demi-Urg or something.

**CpatTom**

The tau thing I'm not so sure about. The fluff is conflicting at best on what is allowed within the empire (as long as its for the greater good of course).

Apologies. As a Space Marine, then I request the investigation be completed before an execution order be implemented. But I agree: Purge the Alien. The Man who submits to an Alien is no Man.

forgot i had changed it.FIXED.

**Brother Coa**

I think that question here must be: do Eldar and Humans have different DNA?

That would made some complications for sure, but we never tried sex relationship with alien species before so who knows?

**Deathly Angel**

It might actually be possible, they're both creations of the Old Ones.

ENORMOUS!

Not conclusively demonstrated to be the case in humans by a long way. Anyway, as I said people are more than capable of enjoying themselves with animals, inanimate objects and pictures. So really, a sexy space elf could do it for a human guy.

im2randomghgh wrote:Again, looking at a picture they might say "hot damn!" but in person the thought wouldn't even cross their mind.

No offence, but I think you're probably young/naive to think of sexuality in such a constrictive manner.

1. Though That may be the case, MHC IS fairly conclusive in it's results, and it is something you can't get from a picture. Plus, as I said, it would be that 0.0001% of the population that thinks their dog is sexy who would be thinking about Eldar in that way.

ALSO, being in the presence of a psychic being is supposed to be a HUGELY, profoundly disturbing experience for most being in the galaxy.

2. What I was saying was basically the same as point #1, a picture of a shmexy space elf would be just as...inviting as a picture of a sexy space woman, but without MHC and pheromones in person, combined with the psychological shock of being near a psychic being, combined with humanity's most basic fear: the unknown (the alien) manifesting itself as extreme xenophobia, PLUS the hate the xenos indoctrination of the IoM, fight or flight is the most likely instinct when seeing one, not fight flight or bone.

And the Eldar would return the sentiment with filthy inferior Monkeigh! Neither side is interested in 'doing' each other. They're far more interested in killing and sneering at each other. If anyone can be said to be involved in cross-species 'mating', it would be the Dark Eldar and the activity wouldn't be consensual at all.

**Howard A Treesong**

Tau seem quite a bit different, they might not have the right bits to fit with a human...

Non-consensual inter-species intercourse DOES sound like something the Dark Eldar would get off on... though they'd eat their souls afterwards, so it wouldn't be mating...

Why would the Dark Eldar wait until "after" - just as likely to be during

Also they would just as likely force other species to mate with each other - sick that way the Dark Eldar are........

40K is often about exceptions - I personally am happy with "interspecies mating is unusual but not unknown - especially on frontiers etc".

There is also a presumption in this thread that all humans are members of the Imperium - which is not really true - lots and lots of independatnt empires and worlds with different attitudes and tech levels.

Breeding is I feel much much rarer - I would think it would be by design and involve high tech and or sorcery - Chaos, Adeptus Mechanicus, Dark Eldar wanting new toys /humiliate captives, Open minded/Deviant Eldar etc all possible.

**Lord_Vader**

I reckon Urien Rakath could throw together a Human-Eldar hybrid monstrosity

We're talking about the Dark Eldar here. Of course they would do that. The sick bastards.

The Imperium happen to be the majority when it comes to humanity other than Feral and Feudal worlds that are everywhere.

**Howard A Treesong**

In honour of this thread I have made a special conversion of Illiyan Nastase, Chief Librarian Astropath of the Ultramarines!

**Mr Morden**

Thats a pretty cool conversion - most impressed

Agreed the Imperium likely to be the majority but as the OP talked about human/ eldar breeding in general its probably worth thinking about non Imperial humans as well in terms of attitudes and abilities?

Deathly Angel wrote:It might actually be possible, they're both creations of the Old Ones.

This might have been retconned. Unless i missed it the current Necrons codex no longer mentions that either the Eldar or Humans were created by the old ones.
Imo this is one of the few smart decisions in the current Necrons fluff.

**Mr Morden**

To be fair the new Necron Codex tells us virtually nothing about that period in their history and even less about the Old Ones or their creations - if the Necrons are even aware of their hand in creating the Eldar and other races. It aludes to the Enslaver plague of previous texts but not as heavily

Although there does seem to be a Slann /Old One's head stuck on a pole in a Tomb World used as a dinving tool - which does not always speak the truth.

The female praying mantis eats the male after mating. The Dark Eldar could be the Praying Mantis of 40k mating.

It is a debatable point, but not scientifically.

Really though, it IS possible, by canon, unless someone can quote a more recent canon source claiming otherwise. Things that have happened are not impossible. I'm not sure that's a scientific law, but it is a good logical axiom.

I need to see if someone can spare an eldar head, because I want to make one of those, or maybe another half eldar librarian.
