My little group is organising a 2v2 fight at the next meet-up, and I know that the teams will be:
Ultramarines and Eldar
Vs
Necrons and X (Me)

Which army would make the game the most "fair", Imperial fists or Tau? I'm leaning towards IF because the UM player straight up can't figure out how to fight tau - he doesn't understand that my guns are bigger tan his and insists on trying to outshoot me in long range fights. He's grown more confident recently due to his knight, which he plans to hide a techmarine behind for repairs - he's convinced it is invincible.
The knight is the main thing that's making me consider taking tau though....

Edited for spelling.

Does the Eldar player have a wraithknight?

Eldar don't require your mercy. Show them the true power of the xenos.

If you have Grav Centurions go SM.

Otherwise Tau.

No centurions yet, and I have no idea what the eldar player has - that's what worries me
I'm not sure if I should open up a can on them just yet, neither have fully grasped the strengths of their own armies yet. But it would be funny... the main temptation is that I want to kill the knight as soon as possible, just because the owner is convinced that it is immortal

Railside his Knight into oblivion, or take a storm surge and pathfinder squad to D-missile him into oblivion

Don't have a stormsurge, not planning on it either
I thought railsides were viewed as pretty useless nowadays? Not that I've played them recently, but aren't there better ways of dedicating points to AT units?

Lols! I run 5 IK n they get cheesed by arc/gauss, melta lascannons and scat bike spam. Nothing will make you rage quit like seeing 4 IK go down turn 1 thanks to turn 1 deepstrike melta marines and centurion. Or just arc rifles glancing a IK to death.

Or that sweet sweet wave of gauss being surfed by the Overlord
