Necrons allieing with anyone.

That's true as much as it is amusing. As we all know Necrons wouldn't ally with ANYONE.

Apart from Tau.

As in the fluff.

Besides which, you people who refuse to see the truth of the Taucrons are using an extremely narrow definition of the term "allied".

Has anyone mentioned tauquest yet? That's some definitive proof right there

Actually that depends how you define "alliance", what the situation is, what else is happening etc.

In the Cadian Campaign during the 13th Black Crusade for instance small forces of Necrons repeatedly appeared and helped Imperial Guard forces fight off the Chaos hordes when they were attacking the Cadian Pylons.

Looking at these things in a vacuum and stating "no, nevah!" is just as silly as saying "and the the Emperor and Khorne sat down for tea".

Tau and Eldar

Im not saying it would last very long though. they would team up to fight something that threatened them. ie tyranids.
the tau would just be trying to convert the eldar to the greater good and then the eldar would just disappear, coz thats what they do

I said Eldar and Tau becuse they both might agree upon the greater good, Eldar are like that ya know

I think you'll find that the Emperor did in fact have a natter with Khorne and the other Chaos gods He had to in order to create the primarchs and end the warp storms that happened prior to the great crusade.

Much like the Ethereals must have done with the CTan to secure an alliance with the Taucrons/Necrau.

Long live fluff!
