This has certainly been done before but since everyone is so bothered with the Tau and 6th Edition shooty, on advice from a friend I came up with this:

1. Belial
2. 7x DW Terminators (6x THSS)
3. 5x DW Terminators (4x THSS)
4. 3x Land Speeder Typhoon
5. 3x RW Black Knights
6. Land Raider w HB & TL Lascannons

Allies
7. Dante
8. Sanguinary Guard with 5x Infernus

I don't know DA, but for the BA allies:

Infernus pistol has range 6" so you have to be within 3" to get double dice. You will probably have trouble getting all 6 members (Dante and 5 guard) within 3". I would only take 2-3 Inernus in the Sanguinary Guard because of this. I would also spend the points to get the banner that gives everyone in unit +1 to Attack.

If you can find the points I would add a Sanguinary Priest with Jump Pack to Dante's squad. I like my priests to also have a power sword (or some kind of power weapon). The Priest and Dante also benefit from the banner while they are attached.

I refer to this as my "Dante Bomb". It is more like a scalpel than a sword. It is very effective against certain units, but also has some very hard counters. Stay away from units that have ap2 and/or good invul saves.

If they deep strike, Dante makes them not scatter, so no problem in getting the infernus in range on the drop. I find they really shine as anti-infantry in assault. They are great at eliminating most troop choices, plus those pesky Dev squads in the back field. If they get charged by something they don't want to be in assault with, just have Dante use Hit and Run to get out and then go charge some juicy target.

Due to being able to deepstrike without scatter in a dante bomb, 6 infernus pistols is massive overkill against anything that isnt a serpent with its shields up, or a superheavy, plus after the initial drop, anything you shoot will definitely be in charge range anyway, so you might as well substitute a couple of pistols for powerfists to make you hit harder in assault.
What Denny suggests with the priest is a good shout too. With the priest and banner you will be ending up with an extremely expensive squad when you also factor dantes points in however.
If unlocking BA as allies, I would suggest finding the points to get a furioso with frag cannon, magna grapple and melta gun in a pod. Jack of all trades, master of... well, all really! Anti horde, anti tank and anti squadron.
