Quick thoughts:
Though it's preference, I've never found a FD exarch to be worth it. In the books, on paper, all his powers sound good. But in play? You're shooting meltas. 2D6+1 is hardly worth it. Neither is ignoring cover for 1 shot. Drop him.
Why is one GJB squad 76 pts? Does it have a Cannon?
I run DE allies and honestly, for the 5pts, I take 5x wyches just because they can hold an objective much better if a squad of plain marines come to contest. Their CC is much better.
Other than that...

Both players should be using the least durable units possible, with the house rule that all players remove an article of clothing every time you lose a unit, and take a drink every time you kill one of your opponent's units.
I have no idea which army will be triumphant, but I can assure you that everyone wins.

He mans the Quad Gun, 2+ TL, and it counts as having the Exarchs powers.!
One does.
And I just have it because its cheaper. They are going to be in reserve for as long as they can be.

Oh yeah, forgot about the quad gun. I never use one, I run Nightwings instead so I totally forgot about that...
Anyway, Eldrad is with the Guard (I presume), so are you planning on walking the Lords up with them to keep in spirit range?
