Unless its something that happens on frontier worlds beyond the notice of the major galactic powers, with Humans and Xenos living together. Off course, once the Imperium/Chaos/Craftworlds take notice, they get curb stomped.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

What? Where did this come from? And why would any of them want to live as one of a 'lesser race'?
So that they can breed with humans and have their children grow up to be Ultramarines.

Illiyan Nastase. He was basically a phone that the Ultras happened to use.
Then they retconned it trying to sound fancy by giving the Eldar a higher amount of helices or something in their DNA so that they would no longer be compatible and capable of breeding.

Wasn't that the Orks? And in an interview concerning the new DE Codex, it was stated that 'hybrids' made up the bulk of Commoraghs non- DE population. They're not DE clones, the so-called half-born.

The orks are fungi, so I doubt they were retconned in not being able to breed with humans because of too many helices.
And I think when DE mean hybrid, it's not entirely... natural...

Not necessarily. No mention was made either way, so its probably best we not set our thinking in stone over the matter.

Orks don't even have a lot to do with the Eldar. It's not like they interact a lot beyond Eldar assassinating warbosses that feel like messing with the Eldar so people like Gazhkull get into power.

They are the comedic relief army, as light hearted as grimdark gets.
As for Eldar it depends on what specific part you want to know.
The War In Heaven
Prefall
The Fall
Dark Kin or Dark Eldar
Craftworld
Exodite
Corsair
Harlequin
Mythology (Cegorach, Yynned, Asuryan, Kaela Mensha Khaine, Isha, Vaul, etc)
All of those should be good points to search for.

With analysis, they're the most grimdark of all races, seeing as they're the only ones who actually enjoy the crapsack world of 40k, and their only purpose is to survive and fight, forever... Which is a guarantee, since nothing can ever wipe out the Orks, and they'll be alive and kicking ass for all time.

They'll just keep coming back. If the Necron Empire/Eldar Empire/old Imperium couldn't do it, the current Imperium, Craftworld Eldar, and even the slowly re-awakening Necrons can't do it. Heck, these guys are holding back an entire Hive Fleet and enjoying it. And when said Hive Fleet has now manifested the Swarm Lord and still can't beat the Orks...you gotta hand it to them, those greenskins are invincible.

Let's see...
Created by old ones to combat the necrons
(By wardian fluff): numbers were too great for the necrons to consider effectively battling them (and the orks) after successfully laying down the pain on the old ones and c'tan so necrons went to sleep allowing the eldar to eventually claim galactic dominance (which we all know is a title that goes to the orks but let dem panzies dink der da bestest fa now, we'll krump'em later  )
Eldar eventually fall from properly worshipping their gods into pleasurable decadence which results in the birth of Slaanesh who nom noms a bunch of the eldar as well as all but 3 (well... More like 2.5) of the eldar gods. Craftworld and exodite eldar had already split from their decadent brethren and depending how far they were from their brethren, were safe from getting nomed. Dark eldar had been holed up in commoragh and were also safe from slaanesh's awakening.
From then on, they've been pretty much the same as they are currently in the fluff or so I am led to believe.

I would also reccomend finding out about the webway: That's one of the most important things about the eldar. That and the paths are the two defining things with craftworld eldar. Well, that, the craftworlds, the psyker-ness, their hiding from She Who Thirsts (known to the imperium as Slaanesh)...
I reccomend PMing people with specific questions: If you ask them on a forum, you'll get a whole load of conflicting and confusing answers. If you want to know about the eldar, find someone with something eldar-y in their signature and avatar, then ask them. If you need to know about Dark Eldar or She Who Thirsts, feel free to ask me (although there's probably better people to trust than one with my avatar).

They're funny.
In the GrimDark, where everything is such SRS BSNS, the Orks are yukking it up. The worst times in the history of everything are for them a huge party. This is the original, pre Third Edition spirit of 40k.

I agree. What part of 40k is funny, save certain ork special rules (e.g. "Faster! Waaagh! Uh oh...") or how they don't know which god it is any of the time?
But no, I understand completely what you mean and I wouldn't want to play with them either.

Well, that, the craftworlds, the psyker-ness, their hiding from She Who Thirsts (known to the imperium as Slaanesh)...
I reccomend PMing people with specific questions: If you ask them on a forum, you'll get a whole load of conflicting and confusing answers. If you want to know about the eldar, find someone with something eldar-y in their signature and avatar, then ask them. If you need to know about Dark Eldar or She Who Thirsts, feel free to ask me (although there's probably better people to trust than one with my avatar).
It isnt just known to the Imperium as Slaanesh... thats his name lol to any race in the galaxy. The other titles (Dark Prince, She who thrists, God of Pleasure, ect) are just that... titles or nicknames.
Big fan of eldar fluff, have played eldar/dark eldar/slanneshi themed armies for 6+ years. Best referance is the codexes themselves (all editions) and lexicanum.com IMO for general fluff.
