I would say a greater deamon and lots of blood crushers is the way to beat those armies. The BA will want to get close and assault (a bonus for you), the Gay knights will want to shoot then assault (make sure the eldar kill them off and then you assault them), while the eldar will inadvertantly keep away from the others and dakka them, try some screamers or flamers against them.

If the Grey Knights know what is good for them they will do a heck of a lot less assaulting and more shooting.

Games like this are all about making someone else look like the low hanging fruit. That means difficult to wound units that force other to 'waste' their firepower.

I would not go with Flamers - they are far too easy to shoot down and they are much too deadly to leave along. Screamers have some potential with their speed to setup screens and take down vehicles or tie up walkers.

I mentioned this in the other thread you posted, but I think the core of this list has to start with Bloodcrushers. At 1k Fateweaver is a bit too expensive in my opinion, so instead lets throw in 2 Khorne Heralds on Juggurnauts w/ Blessing and an instrument on one for wound allocation. Finally, since it is objectives, I think 2 units of 7 PB are a good investment to provide an obnoxious to deal with troop choice. I would then add a large unit of Bloodletters to get...

Herald of Khorne w/ Juggurnaut - 105
Herald of Khorne w/ Juggurnaut, Instrument - 110

8x Blood Crushers w/ Icon, Instrument, Fury - 360

7x Plaguebearers ~105?
7x Plaguebearers ~105?
14x Bloodletters 224

I am not sure on the PB cost, but this comes in right near 1k points, has a huge hammer unit you can use to cordon off the board and drop the PB's onto objectives while the Bloodletters support the crushers up close and personal.
