How different would the chain of events leading up the the 41st millennia be if after containing the C'tan, the Necrons attempted and succeeded in alliance with the Eldar.

Considering the eldar were created by frogmen for the soul purpose of killing the necron and the necron are eternally butthurt at having every kind of cancer by the time they reach puberty I would say that an alliance like that is very very impossible.

Oh i am fully aware, but I want to entertain the What If?

It would be pretty fucking weird because of how opposed they are. The Eldar are highly psychic and hold great respect for their gods, with a more loosely-based meritocratic socialist society.
The Necrons fucking killed their gods and work on a rigid feudal class system, and run on supertech diametrically opposed to the Warp,
What would these two have in common enough to ally? Seeing as if these is after the biotransference all that remains of the minds of the necrons are their psychotic nobles, %90 of whom are either megalomaniacs, insane, or omnicidal nihilists.

I can what if just about anything anon but not this. You're talking about two races whose soul purpose is to exterminate the other

Dark Eldar allied with Necrons in "Crusade of Fire".
The WD that introduced the 7th ED ally matrix said that impossible alliance/come the apocalypse need forging the narrative skills to justify. It gave the example of Necrons and Eldar and gave two reasons why they would allies on the TT. Either that the Necron Overlord has forgotten about the Eldar or that the Eldar are manipulating the Necrons into being their blunt instrument of destruction while they make surgical strikes at the real target.

>%90 of whom are either megalomaniacs, insane, or omnicidal nihilists.
So like Dark Eldar basically.
>>49914007
That's even more "completely different setting" than if the Eldar joined forces with Chaos and the Nids. I don't even think the human race comes into being in this scenario.
>>49914715
But what if it's the other way around? A lot of the Necron Overlords are described as peerless strategists, better than anyone else in the galaxy, but either crazy or crippled by hubris/rigid doctrine.

>mfw Tau can have both a allies of convenience
>>49918275
That's because Tau are naive enough to be manipulated/tricked into it.
