[Brut]

We were taking influence as part of this, and generally trolls/ogres are in alliance with Dark Elves ("out of fear" says the guidebooks and whatnot methinks). Crushbone Orcs are holding the elves back and they're also in cahoots with Dark Elves.

For what it's worth, those 4 races were teaming up during the retake Grobb war events that happened on live. Rest of the races didn't really team up as much, but they didn't really have the incentive to do so since who cares if some amphebians hold Grobb or not. Still point is, methinks Dark Elves would use the fatties and orcs as their frontline then turn on them once the goodies are dealt with. And following Innoruuk's guidance they'd probably follow that up with starting to kill one another.
