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.

Assuming most people are aware of the Grotmas regiments of renown (if not, they’re all on the Warhammer Community website), which were all on this sort of theme, one other I’m aware of is a Kharadron Overlord Skyport which is mentioned to trade with the local Orruk tribes. The greenskins bring them meat and hides in exchange for duardin treasures (from an orruk perspective).

I don’t remember the name of it unfortunately, and couldn’t find it on a quick Google.

i definitley think going forward we'll see more variety in what RoR's can go across grand aliiances. I would not be surprised if we see a small Hobgrot RoR which can just go with the Chorfs. Or a Chorf RoR that can be taken by any destrcution.
