Subject: 1k BT list for doubles tournament, working with Grey Knights
Okay, in a change of pace my FLGS is doing a doubles tournament. I've partnered up with a Grey Knights player, both because we work well together and it's fluffy. As of yet he's not really gotten back to me on his list, which will drastically change my tactics. All that I have from him is "Crowe, a libby, 2 purefier squads/rhinos, and a dreadknight with a great sword and heavy psycannon". It's a work in progress. I've rarely played with or against GK, so I don't know what he's going for with those units or what their tactics are. Currently, I have two lists in mind.
List One
Spoiler:
HQ Emperor's Champ with AAC
Elites 5 terminators, 2 with CML and tank hunters
Venerable Dreadnaught with multimelta, extra armor, searchlight, and tank hunters conveniently placed in a drop pod.
Troops 8 Initiates
1 initiate with PF Rhino, smoke launchers
8 Initiates
1 initiate with PF Rhino, smoke launchers
Conventional, but could work as a lategame objective thief.
List Two
Spoiler:
HQ EC with Abhor the Witch
Troops 5 initiates, one with Lascannon, one with plasgun
5 initiates, one with Lascannon, one with plasgun
Fast Attack 5 assault marines, all with Storm Shields and Melta bombs. Power fist added.
Heavy Support Vindicator with PotMS, Ex armor
Vindicator with PotMS, Ex armor
Vindicator with PotMS, Ex armor
Comes out two points over, but no one has an issue with that. More or less a barebones HQ/troops, leaving maximum points for heavy hitters. I figured that the GK would have enough to be frontline units, with my guys more or less supporting their assault. Sad, coming from the BT.
What do you guys think? I know the second list is more or less TFG, but screw it, I have the models.

I'd vote for the vindicator list.
3 of them....at 1000 points, that would utterly devestating, just don't let anyone get close to you.
Bedouin Dynasty: 10000 pts
The Silver Lances: 4000 pts
The Custodes Winter Watch 4000 pts
