Hey guys I am building up my guard army and I was wondering which would be a good ally to help them.
I was stuck between Tau and Eldar and I was hoping for some feedback.
If you have any good 500/750 point ally list that would help with guard would love to hear it.
Thanks!

Orkses!
Though, guards are better allies for orkses than vise versa. Personally i play orkses with an allied ig detachment containing of comsquad, vets, leman russ and marbo.

Depending on what you need and what you play atm. Inquisition, sm, tau, eldar, orkses - all can give what you need.

How about small SM Force of bikes? They can add an agressive side to your army and they're fluffy.

I sometimes use a small 500 pts Marine force. 5 snipers with Telion, 5 with bolters+HB, captain with artificier armour, relic blade hanging with my HQ.

It's not the super power house, but it's thematic, adds to the IG with outflanking untis, decent snipers (tougher than Ratlings well) and a big melee guy in the HQ (as my HQ usually gets in melee sooner or later, a captain helps to either get the attention away or stuck it in))

I say screw whats 'good' and pick what army you're next most likely to build...that could also potentially ally.
