Hi,
i've only just recently decided to start warhammer 40k and really like the Imperial Guard for the wide variation of units and convertions. I play LOTR most of the time, still enjoy it but fancy a change. Played fantasy a little bit but didnt like the non-skirmish game. i played an intro game to 40K and really liked it and now i'm making a 500pt army of Guard.
I have a mate that has played 40K for awhile now and he is making a 500pt Tau army to battle mine. If anybody has any advice on how to beat tau i will be very grateful.
Below is my first list, any advice or changes please post them up.

Iron Discipline, Grenadiers, Drop Troops, Close Order Drill
HQ
JO w/Bolt Pistol, Close Combat Weapon, Iron Discipline
