So just like in 40k. There are some guys out there who have a passive relationship with each other. Tau and Space Marines usually do not get into it....yet.

Orks and Tau HATE each other. So forth and so on. So is there a list like this for Fantasy?

Like, Who does the Dark Elves and Lizardmen or the Vampire counts get along with and whom are their most hated enemies? Also what the hecks up with them tomb kings?

Skaven hate everyone, including other skaven.

High Elves and Dark Elves loathe each other.

Warriors of Chaos basically want to kill anything, but IIRC the Empire is definitely a preferred target.

Beastmen hate all man things.

Dwarves and High Elves went to war awhile back, but are okay with each other now.

Brettonians are sometimes raided by the Wood Elves during the Wild Hunt, but they generally don't take it personally.

Dwarves and Orcs n' Goblins hate each other, although Goblins are generally afraid of High Elves.

uh...

I believe I've read that the Tomb Kings and Vampire Counts hate each other, but I'm not really sure why.

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

Oh, and noone gets along with the Dark Elves. Like Skaven, even other Dark Elves don't trust Dark Elves.

Tombkings hate Vampire Counts
Dwarfs hate Orcs and Goblins
High Elves hate Dark Elves
Lizardmen hate Skaven
Empire hates Chaos
Beastmen hate everyone

Empire has a decent relationship with High Elves, Dwarfs, and Bretonnia as they learned thier magic from the elves and their tech from dwarfs.

That's really about it, though everyone can and has fought everyone else (it is Warhammer after all).

They hate each other because when Nagash was still ruling Nehekara, the queen of Lamia ran off with his scrolls of necromancy. She then learned how to turn into a vampire and set about fighting with others (including killing the much better fighter Khalida). The Tombkings eventually ran her and her vampire friends off north to where they eventually ended up to bother the empire and co. (though they did this when they still had skin on their bones). They basically lump the vampires in with Nagash in their hate.

If you feed them, Ogres like you(not as a meal)

If you don't feed them, well, you will end up feeding them.

Should be noted that Woodelves and beastment hate one another alot. As well as Wood elves and Skaven. Skaven are always causing problems for them by the sounds of it.

this is because the tomb kings were the original Nehekran kingdom, and Vampire counts started from the queen neferintiti or something (ripped off egyptian history) from her experimenting with necromancy found from Nagashs' studies into it. She created an elixer of life, which turned her into a vampire, and used it to turn others. Necromancy was forbidden after the problem with Nagash, so they found out her vampires were attacking and killing people in her kingdom, and then they sent their armies to destroy them. The vampires scattered and all went seperate ways.

One major difference between fantasy and 40k is that different races can sometimes get along with one another in fantasy. In 40k, if two races ally (which is rare enough), it is usually because one group is manipulating the other. Almost every race in a position of power wants to wipe out all other races. The prime exception is the tau, who want to rule over the other races rather than annihilating them.

In fantasy, some races such as the Empire, dwarfs and high elves, have formal, long-standing alliances. They may even care for the welfare of their allies (doubt you'll find that in 40k).

The 'evil' races tend to be less cooperative, but it does happen. I seem to remember an old (5th edition?) bit of fluff that mentioned an alliance between Settra and Malekith.

I know in 40k Space Marines,I.G and Eldar have a neutrality thing going on. Also just about anyone whom does not follow chaos. Especially High Elves and Lizards...LOATH Chaos Daemons.
