I had an idea to make my two armies based on arch enemies(it's basically a way for me to theme and narrow my choices, since anyone whose talked to me knows I'm having a heck of a time choosing my armies). So, the ones I can think of are GK and Daemons(or AS ), the SW and 1k sons, and IF vs IWs? Who else are the arch enemies out there, like the BAs hated(besides Bile?)


Edit: Put on a poll for people to vote on. What two armies should I do as my Arch Enemies?

Crimson Fists and Orks; they shattered their home, and they've never forgotten that

Also can't go without saying Yarrick and Ghazgkull - that's probably the most well known rivalry in the galaxy

Eldar/Necrons since forever

This is true, necrons and eldar are the oldest and longest hatred

DA and Crimson slaughter, so much so that both have warlord traits associated with the other. Slannesh and Harlequins have a particularly strong hate for one another, slannesh and Eldar and Dark Eldar are also mortal enemies but the harlequins moreso. Dark angels and Space Wolves I wouldnt call mortal enemies but are at odds a lot of the time

Eldar + Orks <-> Necrons. We can thank the Old Ones for this.

Farsight -> Orks. Farsight hates orks, but this isn't mutual.

Tuska vs Khorne daemons. Both are content with this.

Space wolves VS thousand sons
Space wolves VS inquisition
Space wolves VS dark angels
Space wolves VS space wolves

Dark angel/unforgiven - fallen angels

Given heresy.. Ultramarine - wordbeaers...

Iron hands - emperors children

According to the original fluff it should be Khorne v Slaanesh and Nurgle v Tzeentch. They should attack one another on sight and prefer to fight one another than any other potential enemy. Now, however, they all work together and then you have the weirdness of 'chaos undivided'. But I note the daemons still have the requisite hatreds.

Sisters vs Necrons via Sanctuary 101, Hammer and Anvil and the like.

Raven Guard vs Alpha Legion since the Heresy.

Necrons vs Tyranids- It's a more recent one but it counts. The Silent King encountered the 'nids while he was outside the galaxy and came running back to wake up the Necrons so that the space cockroaches didn't eat everything and ruin their plans for the galaxy.

Black Templars vs Ghazghkull

BA+necrons vs Nids

Super fwends!

I might say Space Wolves vs. Dark Angels, or possibly Black Templars vs. Dark Angels. Also Eldar vs. Slaanesh is a big one.

In all fairness to the orks:

The Rynn's World incident didn't really have anything to do with the orks. A nuke basically just misfired and stuff exploded in an apparently completely random accident of such bizarre proportions that it could basically only happen if an author of fiction penned it that way.

The Snygrod WAAAGH! which subsequently ensued just made things worse.

Imperium vs Tau for sure. We basically kick their ass all the time and they keep sending larger and larger crusades to kill us and lose most of the time.

Space Wolves and TS, most enemies in 40k have competing goals or ideologies. After what happened on Prospero these two absolutely downright hate each other, end of.

I think any Loyalist Marine and any Traitor Marine.

Also, let's not forget Eldar and Slaanesh.

whut orks vs IG is the worst idea ever. You should not want to paint 2 horde armies at the same time.

That's true, but the CF hold the Orks responsible rather than the capital weaponry, so nemeses they shall be regardless for the real reason behind the destruction of their monastery

Who said IG have to be a horde army? Tank Companies, Armoured Fist Squadrons, Veteran Companies etc

Space Puppies and Dust Bags. Such a shame...

Inquisition vs Everybody including themselves

Amen!

Imperial Fists vs Iron Warriors.

I gotta say IG and Orks. It's the single most common in fluff match up (not counting the mirror matches of Orks vs. Orks or IG vs. Rebel humans). The armies are built to kill each other, and both have a ton of options for highly diverse armies.

I would also say Eldar vs Slaanesh.
And Eldars cannot choose to ignore Slaanesh, while in theory many other arch enemies could choose to make peace or stop caring about each others.
