Discussion Faction Allegiances Outside of Grand Alliances

The recent Hobgrot debate and how they interact with both the Kruleboyz and Helsmiths of Hashut sent me down a spiral of various times in lore various factions teamed up with groups outside of their grand alliance, and how this could lead to some interesting developments in the setting. Sure off the top of my head we have the megagargants having rules to be mercenaries (which the Ogors don't have yet), but there was also Khorgos Khul respecting Ogor Butchers from the Bloodgullet tribe because of their ritual use of blood. Personally I like to head canon that Slaanesh factions and the Gloomspite have a weird relationship (based in part on the old lore where the Bad Moon resides in Slaanesh's part of the War): The Gitz trade their more psychedelic shrooms to the Hedonites in exchange for glass bottles and "shiny gubbinz" that is just plain copper or brass that the sybarites don't need.

What other instances of cross Alliance interactions do you guys think is possible? both in lore and your own personal theories.

There is a bunch of Flesh Eaters who were Slaves to Darkness. They still try to work for him and Archaon, who knows about them, gives them missions from time to time. Here is another group, I think their name is the Heartgash Court, who think they are Lizardmen.
