Welcome back to the game! You will be able to use all manner of space elves together even in most tournaments. They will be what's called battle brothers which means each army's units can use each other's transports and each other's psychic powers and warlord traits and special rules will usually benefit everyone.... Even the sadistic evil space elves!
I am still confused on the new system, every time I think I got it I am told I am wrong. lol
But Current Battle Brother Forces in game by group are All Eldar(Eldar, Dark Eldar and harliquins), All Imperial(Space Marines[and the supplement codexs), Guard, Sisters, Imperial Knights, Guard Wannabes, and the 3 other flavor of Marines) Tau(Tau, and Farsight[tau supplement codex]), Chaos( Chaos Marines[and supplement codex] and Chaos Daemons)
Supplements can be allied with the Main Codex they are based off of, and Codex Space Marines can ally with itself so long as they Forces being allied have different Chapter Tactics.
I think I covered the current Battle Brothers out there, maybe I missed something with how releases have been.
Yes, and no. Some Supplements can be taken as Allied Detachments even if their parent codex is from the Primary Detachment, some cannot (see Iyanden).
Otherwise, Ally rules are pretty free-form. You can have Eldar, Necrons, and Tyranids all in the same army! They just have to start rather far apart from each other and may not do anything if they get too close to each other.
Iyanden is just a modification of the Eldar, they are a little unique in terms of detachments when compared to the other supplements, basically you just declare that X detachment is using the Iyanden warlords and relics etc and its an "Iyanden" army. so Yeah they are Eldar for all allied intents and purposes

I probably come across as a bit of an ***, don't worry I just cannot abide stupid.
Truly, I don't think you'll need to worry about allying with anyone. Eldar and Dark Eldar are able to stand on their own. Harlequins should be much the same.
