This sounds pretty good.

In the case of chaos there are five, but most people forget about chaos
undivided forces, and GW has moved away from them too. I sorta liked them,
but I don't have the rules handy (for 40k). As for squat stuff, I believe
Orc and Squat warlords mentions some homeworlds, and if it doesn't try
looking at the universe maps for that area (if you have them), there are a
number of homeworlds on it.

I like this a LOT!! :)

I'd let Eldar ally against Chaos and Tyranid, but that's probably something
for polls or further discussion later on.

Overall, I think this is an excellent idea.
