I want to win against some tau... actually...

... Actually I don't want to win, I want to conquer. I want to
see their armies smote before my men, their weapons, soldiers
and tanks turned to naught but ash. I want to take their greater
good, build it into a nice conical structure, set it ablaze and
then throw them on it. I want to crush them flawlessly. I want
to win, GLORIOUSLY.
Basically I want to win against some tau in an apocalypse battle
with my guard. Any tips and tricks?

Baneblades? Melee units(Tau suck at CQC
right?)?..............??? Make sure you have a lot of cover.
Prayers to the Emperor.
Loaded dice? Hacks and cheats?

I have creed (and therefore tactical genius hurr)... so that
should help get some cc units up close... maybe a hellhound or
something with flamers?
I do have a bane blade, but I wonder whether I should use it as
a distraction carnifex? The only problem is that the tau may be
able to take it out in 1 or 2 rounds... meaning it'd have been
pretty useless. Then again, drawing fire from tau and allowing
CC units to get up is a good use.
I have 2 valkries and kasrkin, so I can grav chute those guys
onto the tau to fuck them up nicely...

The problem you have is that both armies are a very much 'hold
the line' style force. The real problems you'll find is
battlesuits with skyfire shooting down your Valkyries, tanks and
battlesuits blowing up advancing tanks, tanks and battlesuits
blowing up tanks that aren't advancing since they will almost
always out range and out gun you, and generally being unable to
breach their impenetrable fortress.
I'd stick with the storm troopers deepstriking - maybe stick
some Ogryns in a Valkyrie too - but for your guardsmen holding
the line I'd take as many sniper rifles as possible. If you can
successfully pin those Tau, that'll be less markerlights
ignoring your cover saves and just less shots blasting your flak
armour to smithereens.
Also, Thudd Guns. Those things are glorious.

So basically, both armies should be even but I'll loose because
marker lights are OP. Hmm. Great.
Well I do have another army on my side, of SM's.

That's pretty much how it works. Although most of their weapons
are far, far more powerful than anything the Imperial Guard has.
What does your space marine army consist of, may I ask?

Baneblades kind of suck in higher point matches, Imperial
Knights take the same lord of War slot and have similar cost
(both money and points) while killing like 3x as much stuff in a
single game, plus there shields give good durability against the
blue fishmen. However, Guard are still in 6th ed and like I have
said before are a pretty shit army. Bes you can d is hope t
Emperor protects. I will also recommend formations (the new
Cadian ones are nice) and taking 50 conscripts + priest and
giving orders, it's the closest thing to cheese the Guard get.

I'm gonna win that fucking match just to prove to you that guard
are the singular BEST army in warhammer 40,000. And I will do it
FOR THE EMPEROR.
