What would you consider to be the nemesis of your favorite faction?

Here is my break down. Feel free to disagree!

1. Imperium vs. Chaos. (Not expecting much debate here)

2. Tyranids vs. Orks

3. Necrons vs Tau (Old self proclaimed masters of the universe vs new self proclaimed masters of the universe)

4. Eldar vs. Dark Eldar

So what do you all think? After the awesomeness of Octarius' biggest xenos rivalry ever what do you think are the chances we get a Necron vs Tau narrative campaign book?

< my faction > vs everyone else.
And sometimes even themselves.

Eldar are either going to be necrons (old foe) or Chaos, focused on she who thirsts. While craftworld/dark eldar might not see eye to eye on a lot of things, they are a far cry from nemesis level foes.

Mechanicus vs Necrons, my two favorite factions.

Tyranids vs Starvation!

The Traitor Legion's greatest nemesis is the 40k rules writing team. But hey! The 30k guys dig us!

Dark Angels vs. Space Wolves!

Death Guard VS a sanitation wipe.

Vraksian Traitor Militia will forever be the nemesis of the DKoK

World Eaters vs Yes

Blood for the Blood God!

Ultramarines have always been the nemesis for my orks. Since 3rd I consider the smurfs the true villains of the entire 40k universe .

My SW never really had a real nemesis, while my two other armies AM and Tyranids are nemesis to each other.

Other armies I've played which I don't have anymore are drukhari and adepta sororitas, their nemesis were craftworlds and chaos space marines respectively.

On a subfaction level, I feel the Ultramarines pair up vs. Tyranids. Sure, they have a long history against other foes, but the Battle of Mcgragge highlights modern Ultras.

I don’t think nids or orks really have nemesis's. Is it eatable? Will it give a good scrap? Warbands/splinter fleets might hold a grudge (Like Gaz and Yarrik) but not as a whole.

IMHO.

Necrons vs Everyone
Get off ma lawn, whippersnappers.
*cocks gauss shotgun*

Effective birth control/rising personal wealth leading to a below replacement birth rate.

The Guard need your children!

Eh???

Nids, Choas and Orks, for different good reasons, want to attack everyone I don’t see why they would be anyones nemesis, specifically.

And necrons

Necrons have a bone to pick with Chaos and Eldar in particular.
They hate Chaos and they really, really hate Eldar. They hate the Orks too because of their irrational behavior and their ties to the Old Ones, but of all of the Old Ones' creations they hate the Eldar most of all because of their closer ties to the Old Ones and they were the ones who chased the Necrons into hiding.

Likewise, Eldar have a strong animosity towards Necrons.

For a major galactic event, the War in Heaven doesn't have as much coverage as it should have.

Orks sayin' Mork is da strongest vs Orks sayin' Gork is moar strong

Orks are basically Groundskeeper Willy.
"Humies and Orks are natural enemies. Or Tau and Orks. Or Hrud and Orks. Or Orks and Orks. Damned Orks, they ruined everything!"
