I have an upcoming game this weekend with some friends. We decided to to an apoc game, there are 4 or 5 players on each side. Anyway, my team has one SM army, one Ork army, one Tau army, and 1-2 CSM army. We're facing 2 IG armies, and 2 SM armies (1 SM army might be Eldar). So any tips on how we should build our lists or tactics we should use, espcially Apoc rules. Anything will help.

Personally in all the apoc games i've ever played tactics are thrown out the window and it pretty much ends up as a general free for all. That said if your facing guard maybe have someone with an assualty army flank march, dosen't work in my group of people I play with as we've banned that one (a little overpowered). You could also take vital objectives which will force them to attack you. Otherwise not much more I can suggest, good luck.

SM - Take an inquisitor Lord with Mystics and a hood, if he has room a second (elite) inquisitor with mystics. Redeemers tend to work quite nicely since you can have them flaming turn 1.
Ork - Battle wagons and as many boys as you can muster.
Tau - Lots of rail guns pop the enemy's vehicles
CSM - Defilers and lots of CC (i.e. Berserkers in rhinos)

And just play to each armies strengths. If you have any super heavy field them, also If you can take a vortex grenade then take them nothing is more fun.
