But do the eldar or tau ever fight themselves like the humans do?

Traitor eldar fighting eldar (not dark eldar I imagine they would fight against the DE)

Or traitor tau fighting tau? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/613659/7175501.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/613659/7175501.page GMT Do the tau or eldar ever battle themselves in fluff?

Craftworld Eldar also argue and have inter-Craftworld hatreds but they rarely come to war. They usually can be resolved by chosen warrior of each group fighting until First Blood or sometimes death. This is much more common on certain craftworlds then others, for example Biel-Tan and Saim-Han are known for being militant or barbaric while i imagine Iyanden would be far more reserved.

For Tau, rebels are rare due to the Etherials ability to ''re-educate'' the population, but any Tau that aren't under that spell might well become and enemy of the greater good, and we all know what happens to them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/613659/7175542.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/613659/7175542.page GMT Do the tau or eldar ever battle themselves in fluff?

They run off and form a Farsight Bomb?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/613659/7175865.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/613659/7175865.page GMT Do the tau or eldar ever battle themselves in fluff? IIRC, even Farsight dislikes fighting other Tau. Doesn't mean he won't, but he dislikes doing so. And is Battle Brothers with them on the Alliance Matrix for what it's worth.

CWE understandably hate fighting each other because they're already a dying species. They are independent "countries" of sorts though so war isn't impossible I imagine, but I can't really think of any fluff examples (though my mind vaguely recalls some CWE vs CWE fights). As for "traitor" CWE... any CWEldar that leaves the CW isn't really a CWEldar anymore in the first place, and their army composition and lifestyle (and even cultural outlook, given that Eldar must constantly be battling their own hormones which is very difficult to do outside the controlled society of a craftworld or the Amish society of the Exodites) would quickly change without any CW resources. In that case what you'd really have is a CWE vs Eldar Corsair battle, probably.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/613659/7176607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/613659/7176607.page GMT Do the tau or eldar ever battle themselves in fluff? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/613659/7182321.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/613659/7182321.page GMT Do the tau or eldar ever battle themselves in fluff? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/613659/7183431.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/613659/7183431.page GMT
