If you could choose two armies to clash in a two player box set what would they be? I would like to see chaos demons and gray knights.

Do I have something in my teeth?

Any army that is not Space Marines vs any other Army that is not Space Marines (or any variants thereof). But we all know that won't happen since one of the armies has to be Marines.

Eldar vs Orks?

I'll second vote the above:
Dark Eldar vs Tau
Grey Knights vs Daemons (as long as they are NOT Khorne Daemons, we have had enough of those, let's hear from the other 3 chaos gods please)

Not having Space Marines is pretty much not going to happen. When was the last time there was a boxed set/Starter without Space Marines?

I would love to see Blood Angels vs. Khorne Daemonkin. Chaos Daemons are supposed to be converging on Baal at the same time as Hive Fleet Leviathan. But I am more thinking we will be seeing Space Wolves vs. Thousand Sons.

Well orks v space marines was just released btu it is just some of the AOBR models..

I would prefer 2 see a IG v a xenos race or a sisters of battle v xenos. but as stated that is unlikely to occur.

Ideally though Sisters V chaos would be a fun set and sell a lot of models, co release this with plastic sisters of battle and codex update.

Tyranids vs GSC. Now that we are only allies of convince now, why not.

Meh, we have had Orks recently too. Black Templars (with "exclusive" plastic Emperor's Champion model) would be welcome. Especially if it came with some new rules for a BT "Gladius" and unique relics. But their upgrade kit isn't 100% compatible with the newer SM kits, so it is less likely. But it could give them an excuse to remake the upgrade kit for Black Templars.

Dark Eldar vs Blood Angels?

I'm going by memory but I don't think either of these two have the super detachment thing going on.

Won't happen though since Baal is under threat from Nids/Chaos.

I would buy the GAK out of that, but it probably won't happen. Chaos doesn't have a Super Formation beyond Khorne Daemonkin either. Are DEldar even actively causing trouble for anyone right now?

Here's a random idea...sell three starting army boxes. I know this complicates things a little bit...but would be brilliant for sales.

Imperial Guard vs. Tyranids

Chaos vs. Tau

Eldar vs. Space Marines

etc. Why not offer a little bit of option --- and seasoned players will scoop them up by the ton to bulk out existing armies.

With stuff like the Start Collecting boxed sets and the separated boxed sets from War Zone: Damocles, I think the idea of a paired starter set is pretty well dead. They just need to put Start Collecting boxed sets out for all of the armies. I would still like to see sets like Shadow Force Solaq and whatever the Tau box was, though.

This.

Or really, I kind of don't like dual-army boxes; I like the start collecting boxes, I really just want to see more of those, and ways to quickly play battles between them, so new players can just pick an army they like, pick one of the start collecting boxes (if there's a choice) and play against someone else who has done the same.
