Can War Machine use minions and Hordes use Mercenaries?

Some. It depends on the exact model. Contracts also should be consulted as to who is eligible to work for whom.

In general, No. Each Mercenary and Minion model/unit has a set list of factions they will work for printed on their card, and Mercenaries only work for Warmachine factions, while Minions only work for Hordes factions.

There are some Models which are "Mercenary/Minion" however, and will work for a selection of factions from either side.

There's a full list of which Mercs and Minions work for each faction on Battle College - http://battlecollege.wikispaces.com/mkiiMercTab

There are some that work for both merc and minions. Mostly solos and a couple squads. They say who they work for in the books.

For whom a specific Minion or Mercenary can work for is also stated on their card.

And stuff.

You will have to read the card in question.

Some minions will work for some warmachine factions.
