Any advise on the list?(The idea is to disrupt magic of the knights with stratagems)

Grey knight's use a lot deep strike to move around the board. So a swarm list would be good to control the board. But the points limit might make that difficult. A swarm list would also shield agianst all of the smites.

At 1250? Hard to say. A meta GK list should uses Paladin drop and a tonne of characters. Paladins will kill Hordes via bolters pretty well, so token screening is not going to help much.

The Sanctus with the relic is a good call, that will be super annoying for him and I doubt he's expecting it.

Paladins are T4 W3 2+ 5++? They can go up to T5, or Transhuman to tank - I highly suggest against TFex, because the Acid profile will have issues getting into the right range and the Cannon profile will do nothing vs Transhuman.

Exocrenes are immensely good. With 12 shots in Kronos and the Kronos spell and the Slime strategem, they can wipe most of a Paladin squad out if he let's you shoot them with it.

The Flyrant is also OK... But I don't like Kronos Flyrants other than for a suicide warlord that causes people to fail spells and do mortal wounds to themselves. It's GK so that's not happening ever (2d6 rolls, +1 to cast offsets SitW, Smite is always 5 and common spells are 5-6) so I'd recommend against it.

The catch is that at 1250 I don't know how much he can bring, since the std meta list sits at 2k. Paladins are expensive and I don't know how much he has left after bringing them. Given the situation, I'd work with 1 Exo 1 HG, Gaunts Gaunts Gaunts and Neuro HQs for my list. If you tag the Exo and HG with adaptations, you've basically rounded off a very competent gun line map control list that functions super well in 1250 (because people can't bring toys). The Sanctus is icing in the cake, and not mandatory/necessary, but if you're doing that I'd bring the whole GSC vanguard toolbox (which IIRC is Magus Sanctus Kellermorph Nexos/Locus) but at 1250 I'd keep it clean for better individual impact.
