Subject: Wanting some Grey Knight Allies, But who to ally them to..?

So I have three armies and I dont want to start a new army, But I love the Grey Knight models so I was thinking of allying them to one of my existing armies, But I dont know what one.. I have Space Wolves, Tau and Necrons. So I wanted to ask here, What army of those three would be best to give a small allied Grey Knight force to?

Tau would be good, I guess, as some CC in a shooty army.

The Grey Knights don't really add much to the armies you listed that they didn't already have. Actually, as a whole the Grey Knights are fairly substandard as allies. They're brilliant on their own but they just don't seem to synergize well if parceled out to other armies. Now the other way around may be a bit more workable, grey knights backed by missilesides? Yes please!

Coteaz could be good w/ PC Serv and a Jokearo. Hvy fire power w/ div at a low cost.

Well, seeing as you have all 3 armies already... why not try them all out?  Just field each army with the allies in and see which you like best.
Space Wolves already do what the Grey Knights do - close-range firepower and no slouches in combat - just SW tend to do the former a bit better and GK the latter. So I can see Tau benefitting the most with Necrons not close behind. You might want to concentrate on close combat units like Purifiers and Interceptors with that in mind.

Necrons // Grey Knights was a combo found in the Top 16 of Adepticon; the winning player used Necrons + Draigo.
Funny, you have the armies I have/want. I want a 2K Tau list pretty bad, too.
