You can't breed with an Eldar for the same reasons you can't breed with a monkey. Human/Eldar similarities end at our humanoid physical traits.
Yeah, but that didn't stop people from trying. Namely the Russians who did have a project to create human chimp hybrids.

How did that go?
The records are fuzzy seeing as how they came from behind the Iron Curtain. There was a documentary on the project done a few years back.

Do you remember that story about a guy called Macbeth? He came from a planet called Scortlund, he met three rogue psykers, then murdered and usurped the planetary governor.

The Half-Eldar Space Marine guy, in the current setting, would have received a bolt-pistol trepanning by the Inquisition once his genetic tests came back.
You think the Ultramarines are going to allow some half-blood freak to sully the geneseed of Roboute Guilliman? Get real.

Several Races have the tech to make interspeicies hybrids but few if any would actually do it.
Eldar could do it - but would think the whole idea disgusting
Dark Eldar could do it - and to be fair might think it was suitably sick and perverse enough to be amusing and a new way to to torment captives
Necron could probably do it but again why would they.
Any surviving Slann could probably do it as a expermient and likely have already
Magos Biologicus of the Adepts Mechanicus could maybe do it but would be as likely to do so as Eldar or Necrons - ie not.
Its a mixed up crazy universe and its possible two people from different specicies could fall in love but children probably ain't gonna happen

The galaxy is a much darker place now than it was then. Back then, having what was basically Tanis Half-Elven in Spaaaaace was a cool thing. Now? Now, that gak doesn't fly in the Imperium.

Should have clarified. I wasn't contradicting you or anything. Just reinforcing that the UMs back than and today are completely different.

Did anyone mentioned Bequa and frigid Ostian in Fulgrim? Two chicks in "a Thousand sons"?
Ups didn't see inter species sign...
Spoiler:
Bequa playfully punched his arm with her free hand and said, ‘Don’t be obtuse, Ostian, I shan’t stand for it. You’re a dreadful boy to tease me so.’
‘Tease you?’ he said. ‘I don’t know—’
‘You know exactly what I mean,’ said Bequa, releasing his arm and turning on her heel to face him. ‘I want you, right here, right now.’
‘What?’
‘Oh don’t be so prudish, have you no sense for the sensual? Haven’t you heard my music?’
‘Yes, but—’
‘But nothing, Ostian,’ said Bequa, jabbing him in the chest with a long, painted fingernail and pushing him back against the glass. ‘The body is the soul’s prison unless all five senses are fully developed and open. Open your senses and the windows to your soul fly open. I’ve always found that when sex involves all five senses it’s a quite mystical experience.’
‘No!’ cried Ostian, squirming free of her grip.
Bequa took a step towards him, but he backed away with his hands held out before him. His body palpitated at the thought of being Bequa Kynska’s plaything and he shook his head as she advanced towards him.

ADB: I showed the Wolves revealing the key weakness at the heart of the World Eaters; showing Angron that his Legion was broken and worthless compared to the others; that he was the one primarch who couldn't trust his own warriors, and that they didn't care if he lived or died; showing that loyalty to brothers and sons is the heart of success for the Legiones Astartes, to the point even Lorgar makes a big deal out of saying the World Eaters and their primarch were massively outclassed by Russ, and Angron was too stupid to see the lesson Russ had sacrificed time, sweat, and blood, to teach. We're talking about a battle the Wolves won, by isolating the enemy general through pack tactics, and threatening to kill him, without a hope of defending himself. It was a balance, 50/50 - Angron overpowered Russ, and the Wolves were losing ground to the World Eaters; but Russ and his warriors had Angron by the balls, and barely broke a sweat. They won, no question. Lorgar even says: "The Wolves won, meathead."

The galaxy really isn't darker now than it was then. The half eldar space marine was the result of rape. Those days were the times of really gribbly Lovecraftian horrible chaos, not the mustache twirling 'tie you to the railroad and cackle' chaos we have now, but the ancient tentacle cannibal grinning insanity mutation chaos. Also, if you read the old Lore about the tyranids, you'd be taking a san check, they weren't kind enough to reduce everyone to digested soup in those days, they fleshcrafted living sentient and aware beings into their tools and weapons and fused them to their ships or grafted to their bodies, compacted by the joyous smiles on the faces of the duped humans lead by their genestealer masters onto the heaving, pulsing biosips to be 'joined with the fathers'... stories from those times could be far darker than they are now, it's true they could also be more insane or comedic, but there was darkness in abundance back in the day.

I think it's unlikely that an CWE or even DE would deign to mate with or be sexual with a human (whom they do not regard as animals, but more like barbarians). They would both probably avoid that sort of relationship out of an aloofness or arrogance.
The Exodites however... Not a lot is known about them so it's not out of the question. They always did strike me as the tree-huggin' hippie types.

Well sex is a rare thing in 30k/40k books so every attempt has to count...
The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always."

I think we're getting hung up on the hybrid thing.
Due to different biologies precious few xenos can mate with humanity.
Stealer Hybrids are possible due to the way that stealers infect your dna.
Half-Eldar were once possible.
Who knows if Tau can breed with humans? Has anyone tried? I'd doubt it.
Doesn't really matter - the question is, can they boink?
Orks- not really
Eldar/DE - yup. Eldar will only do so with other Eldar, but DE will boink ANYTHING, pulse optional...
Humans- will boink anything, but will get shot for it if discovered
Tau - insufficient data. Probably only their own kind.
SM - Action man. Nothing but plastic and a trademark.
CSM- Emperor's Children might dispute this, or not
Daemons - most wouldn't even get the need, and have no need to do so. Slaaneshi would do so as a control/seduction into chaos Succubi thing...
Necrons - um no, barring some radical tech-upgrades. Theoretically do-able if you had a Lord that was a Lothario in life, and wanted to keep it going..
Nids. They'll implant stuff in you, but i wouldn't call it boinking. The slither slither of little tails is sure to follow though As mentioned above, Stealer hybrids are an exception, as they infect you and jazz your sex drive, to make you go breed..
The Viletide: Daemons of Nurgle/Deathguard: 7400 pts
Disclples of the Dragon - Ad Mech - about 2000 pts GSC - about 2000 Pts
