A full alliance between the Eldar and Imperium is impossible. The Eldar's pride and the Imperium's intolerance towards Xenos aside the real problem comes from the Eldar's situation. The Eldar are suffering from a declining birth rate in addition to rapidly losing their population to attrition due to the hostile nature of the galaxy. That's why each Eldar life is precious to them. No in an alliance both sides are expected to pull their weight. "We fight and die together", or something like that. Now do you think that the Eldar are going to agree to send their warriors to the frontline to die when they are approaching extinction and humanity is out there breeding like rabbits? I certainly don't think so.
