To be clear, I'm not talking about Dark Eldar

No. I'm talking about the Outcasts and Exodites, such as 'The Crow Spirits', 'The Children Of Thorns' and the 'Balestorm Avengers'.

I'm curious from a fluff point of view, but also a modelling point of view. A detachment of Eldar Pirates to add to my forthcoming Craftworld army would be great to kitbash.

I'd say it depends on the individual Corsair crew. Some will believe all races are inferior filth, some will use them like meat shields and some might even get along with some people.

Mostly no. Doesn't reach hell no, but it would be very rare.

Think about it - would you have a dog act as navigator when you're traveling? Might be cool if you could rig it up - which is one way this may happen - but wouldn't be terribly useful. Fortunately, for the luls is very much the Corsair way, most of the time.

It is possible that they grow to respect a member of a 'lesser race', but that member isn't likely to live that long. Remember, their drive to excess will lead them to spill it's blood (or spores) rather quickly.

I might need to throw one into my corsairs, now that I think about it! Rare, but seems possible!

I'd have to agree. Corsairs may be pirates and outcasts but they're still Eldar.

Ofc they're also out there alone without much support so sometimes they would have to be practical instead of snobs. If the axe crazy Dark Eldar can work with someone else when it suits them a Corsair crew surely can too if the situation needs more bodies or some sort of experts.

They have regular access to Craftworlds, and probably Exodite worlds. Their piracy isn't about needing resources to survive, as I understand it. Some might get desperate, but most have options.
