Not the most common thread title here. But, are there any instances in the fluff of these occurring at the same time in one location:

Eldar vs Space Marines vs Tyranids

Eldar vs Tyranids vs Any faction

Eldar vs Orks vs Space Marines

Eldar vs Space Marines vs Chaos (marines or anything)

Thanks!

Well, the third one is basically Dawn of War 2 before the Tyranids show up.

And Dawn of War 3.

The second Tallarn war might have included loyalist marines. I can't remember it being explicitly stated one way or the other.
Short story
Imperial citizens unearth strange artifact. Artifact is actually a dormant gateway to the realm of Slaanesh. Artifact slowly starts to activate.
Eldar farseers detect the activation. They don't know whether the imperial forces have been corrupted, and, really, don't seem to care. Eldar troops are ordered to wipe out the human defenders, reach the artifact, and stop it from opening a frickin' portal to hell.
Imperial forces put up waaaay more of a resistance than the Eldar expected. Eldar advance stalled.
Portal has time to open. Legions of Slaanesh emerge and start nomming souls.
Eldar finally explain themselves to the Imperial forces. The two sides team up, blow up demons, seal portal, and live happily ever after*.

*Story ends. This is quite a convenient, because if the story continued it would probably have involved the Inquisition arriving to wipe everyone out.



The "Theft of Lethidia" has Tyranids vs demons, and Eldar vs tyranids vs dark eldar. Other battles that fit that bill happened in theKarkarodon System, and both on Pandora Prime and Medusa V.

Hmm so nothing quite exactly right, but close.

The problem with Tyranids is that usually when they show up everyone fights them, temporarily not engaging one another. Tyranids tends to... Eat everything and everyone, which is inconvenient for anyone remotely intrested in living things. Like plants, or cattle.

There's the big invasion of hive fleet Kraken when Lyandel got devastated. Eldar and SM (Imperium as a whole really) teamed up vs 'nids.

There's the fall of Medusa 5 when all factions faced off against each other.

Sorry, I feel like I'm not much help in this one.
May I ask what it is for?

His pattern of returning alive after being declared dead occurred often enough during Cain's career that the Munitorum made a special ruling that Ciaphas Cain is to never be considered dead, despite evidence to the contrary.
