What are the best alliances possible between races, what killer combos are going to win a match?

A friend of mine swears by Orks and Tau. Orks for the close combat, Tau for the Broadsides.

Well I think IG combos very well with Space Wolves and Dark Angels, plus the combo of both Chaos armies can be good. Necrons can amplify almost all armies, and then DEldar/Eldar have some brutal combos... if you're going competetive then these are what you're most likely to see.

Battle brothers (Eldar, Dark Eldar etc) are probably good for whatever race you play, they have the least amount of drawbacks for ally rules.

Just got out of a tournament where we played Orks and IG. Same principle as above: Orks for CC and IG for big guns. It workedout surprisingly well.

A Nurgle CSM + Epidemius list will wreck face. Especially if you can get Chaos Sorcerers rolling on Biomancy and getting Endurance.

The Eldar/DE combo can be nasty. Eldar for shooting and psychic powers and DE for cc.

Orks and necrons. Again orks CC, necrons AT/shooting

I can see it now....Nids are now a collection of autonomous hive fleets there are multiple Hive Minds and they all war with one another in addition to everyone else. They speak to humans using telepathy, and they can now ally with Space Wolves as battle brothers, because reasons.
Tyranids talking to humans would be like you talking to your mashed potatoes or the probiotic in your kiefer drink. It is neither possible nor productive.
Inside my mind I pinched my nipples and savored his bitter silence.

IG is excellent for any combo, especially with battle brother allies.
I mean, you have big guns at back and what you basically need is something to either charge at the enemy or to further fortify your defense to keep the mat bay while big guns are doing all their work.
Best combo to me is IG/any SM and IG/SoB.

DA + TAU.
Bikes with rad grenades, followed by high strength shooting is nasty.

However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives.
