After some extensive research, I have come up with this list to add some Eldar allies to my GK army that I have been working on. After play testing, I saw that one of my weaknesses was mobility so here is to hoping that the Eldar can deliver:

Grey Knights:

HQ:
Coteaz

Troops:
10 GKSS 2 psycannons psybolt ammunition
Rhino

10 Terminators 2 psycannons 5 hammers 5 Halberds psybolt ammunition

Henchman-
2 Jokaero
3 Warrior Acolytes plasma gun power armor
3 Servitors multi-melta

Fast Attack:
Stormraven TL multi-melta TL Lascannon

Heavy Support:
Dreadnought 2 TL Autocannon psybolt ammunition
Dreadnought 2 TL Autocannon psybolt ammunition

Eldar:

HQ:
Farseer
Jetbike

Troops:
3 Windrider Jetbikes
Shuriken cannon

3 Windrider Jetbikes
Shuriken cannon

3 Windrider Jetbikes
Shuriken Cannon

5 Dire Avengers
Wave Serpent with BL and Shuriken Cannon

The only thing I have been contemplating is dropping the third jetbike squad in favor of taking some Fire Dragons in the Wave Serpent instead of the Dire Avengers but I think that my GK have the heavy weapons taken care of. I was also thinking of possibly dropping the jetbike from the Farseer and putting him in the Wave Serpent.

Well, the FOC for the ally detachment is rather restrictive with 2 troop units only.

I did the math for a list similar to this and this is what I got:

Coteaz

x5 Gkss psycannon rhino

x5 Gkss psycannon rhino

x10 Gkts 2 psycannpns psyammo brotherhood banner

2 monkeys x3 servitors with MM in chimera

stormraven TL mm assault cannon hurricane bolters psyammo

x2 dreads with double TL autocannons

Agies defense line with quad gun

Farseer with MotLG jetbike

x2 units of x3 jetbike guardians

And then either x5 warpspiders or 3 shining spears with exarch with star lance. which came to 2k with 3pts to spare.

And that was a stupid oversight on my part. Well in that case there are several scenarios that can go on here. I could easily just absorb the Jetbikes into one massive squad to keep the list the way it is but I feel that it would weaken it more by doing that. Honestly, bearing that in mind now, I really feel like doing it this way:

Eldar:

HQ:
Farseer
Jetbike

Troops:
3 Windrider Jetbikes
Shuriken cannon

3 Windrider Jetbikes
Shuriken cannon

5 Fire Dragons with an Exarch equipped with Firepike
Wave Serpent with BL and Shuriken Cannon

Or something that really just came to mind is eliminating the Wave Serpent with troops completely and throwing in a Wraithknight for good measure. Nothing like a towering monstrosity with 2 S10 AP2 cannons that has 6 wounds to scare the crap out of my opponent. It is tempting because I think the Wraithknight is such an awesome looking unit. It would give me an excuse to finally buy one...

I like this list since it does exactly what I would want it to. But if you take an ADL, who is sitting in it with the henchman sitting in a Chimera?

5 Fire Dragons with an Exarch equipped with Firepike
Wave Serpent with BL and Shuriken Cannon

I'd just take 5 Fire Dragons w/ Serpent w/ tl scatterlaser, underslung shuricannon.
The tl scatter laser (if there is some hit) allows to fire the shuricannon and shield twin-linked.

The ADL gives all your units 4+ cover and the gun is manned by coteaz because he can't cast prescience in a chimera, the chimera is there so if the squad is down to 1 man they can hide in it, and it can shoot as well.

I originally stuck the BL on the Serpent to give it some power against vehicles to better support the Dire Avengers but now because I took them out and they were replaced by the Fire Dragons, yeah, I don't need the BL anymore and that Scatter laser would definitely help in utility. With Coteaz casting Prescience, the Farseer with guide and then all the TL in this army, I will definitely be hitting things.

When I was building this army and considering putting a Chimera into the list, I had asked whether prescience could be casted within a Chimera and the consensus I got was that he could. Is there any reference to clear this up?
