No alliances, you could house rule it but you’ll need to work out how you’re going to deal with command points and structure

Class                                    Typical Base Size                Typical Number of Models in a unit
Troop                                      25mm round                                        Five
Specialist                               40mm round                                        Two
Support                                  60mm round                                        One

that’s the basics for the types of unit and base sizes you’ll be dealing with. I honestly have no clue whether 40K models will line up, I stopped paying attention to what GW is shitting out a long time ago. I could probably stick stuff into the lists and it would kind of work, but despite what some GW fanboys think Mantic isn’t just copying GW and Firefight and Warpath don’t easily mirror 40K

Even Kings didn’t match whamster that well hence having to write a book with 9 lists in it out of the 11 armies that existed in the old world (or 14 if you count all the elves separately)

If the appeal is playing a better/quicker game with current 40K armies I would suggest just going to One Page Rules and playing Grim Dark. It has analogues for all the 40K armies. If you want to play firefight you’re better off just playing firefight with the mantic models, or you could do that 3D thing the kids like. A lot of GW figures will be redundant in FF
