Fellow Dakkas, I am playing a game on Monday night coming and looking for some advice for a list I have written.

Its blind lists (i.e. neither side will know what the opponent is fielding until model hit the table), mission unknown and table setup unknown.

Points are set at 1500 points Vanilla (as in no Escaltion/Stronghold/FW/etc). My opponent can field Blood Angels, Necron, Dark Eldar or Orks. He knows I can field either Grey Knights or Tau (of which I will be fielding Tau.

Any thoughts on my chosen list (although it should be noted that other than a Piranha, this is my total Tau collection of units.)
