    The Necron Tomb Stalker in the new Imperial Armour is pretty beefy. I think it has furious charge, feel no pain and it will not die - that's a true monster.

    Las/plas for Angels rules because of the fast vehicles. I'd add melta into those Assault Squads and flamers so you can deal with tough armour and hordes.

    I've been looking at Grey Knights and done two test games and really it comes down to the unit size. Psycannons are cheap and affective so you'll be using those Grey Knights mostly as fire support...
