Hello everyone, I'm a 40K fan who primarily follows literature, lore, and anything relative to that.
I primarily joined here to get help making my short stories and organizations as lore accurate as possible. Probably won't get published but it's still pretty damn fun to write.
Also, if anyone could recommend any books, stories, even fanfics about Tau, Necron, and Dark Eldar it would greatly be appreciated.

Welcome to DakkaDakka!
Can't recommend many books since I tend to just read massively into the lore rather than the stories it creates. However, the Eisenhorn series is one of the best set of books ever published in the 40k universe imo, so definitely go check them out if you haven't already  Also enjoyed Lord of the Night as a standalone novel, but it kinda wore thin at times.
Looking forward to reading your short stories sometime; I really need to read more these days!

This is probably not what you're after exactly but the first book in the Ultramarines trilogy has both Dark Eldar and Necrons. The Imperial Guard novel Dead Men Walking chronicles the brutal attrition war of the Death Korps of Krieg when brought to bear against the Necrons (it's quite honestly the most grimdark Warhammer 40k novel I've ever read and I still feel a little sad when I think about it). Hellbreak is a short story in the bindup called "Let the Galaxy Burn" is about a super badass Commissar fighting Dark Eldar. Unfortunately there are very few books featuring the Tau. It's a shame, because they're a really cool faction that I'd love to see the Imperium go to battle against.

Hi!
Welcome to Dakka!  "Fire Caste" by Peter Fehervari features Tau heavily, but as the adversary to an Imperial Guard force. "Fear the Alien" is an excellent collection of short stories about Xenos, including at least one Dark Eldar story and the first story form an Orks perspective. I'd be happy to send you my copy of the former!
