So my opponents are my two buddies forming a team; one playing 1250 Dark Eldar and the other 1250 Space Marines. It's just the three of us, so they elected to have me play two 1250 lists. Here's what I'm bringing.

1250 Imperial Guard with Grey Knights
1× Company command squad
1× Grey Knight Brother Captain (force halberd, Empyrean brain mines)
2× Infantry platoon (3 squads w/ lascannons)
1× Grey Knight Terminator squad (+3 terminators, force halberds)
3× Hydra flak tank

1250 Farsight Enclave Tau
1× Commander Farsight
7× Crisis bodyguard (2 fusion blasters, target lock, bonded)
2× Crisis battlesuit (2 plasma rifles, flamer, bonded, 2 gun drones)
2× Crisis battlesuit (2 plasma rifles, flamer, bonded, 2 gun drones)
2× Crisis battlesuit (2 plasma rifles, flamer, bonded, 2 gun drones)
2× Crisis battlesuit (2 missile pods, flamer, bonded, 2 gun drones)

Thoughts? I wanted to bring an inquisitor plus henchmen but couldn't justify it when I had points to bring Terminators as troops (!) instead.

Alternatively,

1× Company command squad
2× Infantry platoon (3× infantry squads, 2× lascannon squad)
1× Ordo Xenos Inquisitor (power armour, rad grenades, force sword, Hammerhand, Ulumeathi plasma syphon)
1× Grey Knight strike squad (10 knights, 2 psycannons, psybolt ammunition, Nemesis force halberds)
2× Hydra flak tank

Which would net me a truely ridiculous amount of indirect anti-infantry firepower.

Honestly, given the choice between six lascannons and twelve lascannons, well, lol

By the looks of that Tau, your termi's are going to get eaten alive, crapped out and eaten again... So I would suggest something to saturate those plasma shots...

I'd go with a nice healthy block of 50 conscripts.... That'll show em!

I believe he is playing the Tau unit AS WELL as the Grey Knights, the plasma is on his side.

Yeah, my opponents are playing Dark Eldar and vanilla Space Marines. Simultaneously.

Since we don't have a fourth player, the Tau are on my side, under my direct control.

So 3 armies as one. If you are facing a lot of strenth 8 or higher shots than I wish you luck.
