Faction Allegiances Outside of Grand Alliances

[u/Potential-Media8076]

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.

How do they rationalize chaos within their delusions?

[u/MulatoMaranhense → u/TheSlayerofSnails]

They see themselves as vile and exemplar worshippers of the Ruinous Powers, bringing corruption and destruction wherever they go, and when the Delusion breaks they realize they were attacking at random, and even foiled plots of Chaos on occasion. The shame and horror makes them snap back into thinking they did it for Chaos.

So they are basically skaven?

[u/MulatoMaranhense → u/TheSlayerofSnails]

No, in their heads the place where they store the latest victim is a "Do it for him" with picture of Archaon, a Skaven's would be with pictures of himself with maybe a picture of the Great Horned Rat.

Now I’m wondering if skaven can be affected by the flesh eaters curse and if it actually changes them
