Got another one for you guys here. Actually test played it today, my first two games as Eldar :) Hence to say I won both of them, one Minor Victory over Necrons, but I obliterated an IG army. Just wanted to see what you guys thought about it.

HQ
Autarch w/Eldar Jetbike, Mandiblasters, Laser Lance
130 pts

Farseer w/ Eldar Jetbike, Spirit Stones, Doom, Guide
150 pts

Troops
3x Guardian Jetbikes
66
3x Guardian Jetbikes
66
3x Juardian Jetbikes
66

Fast Attack
3x Vypers w/Holo-fields, Starcannons
315

4x Shining Spears w/Exarch, Star Lance, Withdraw, Skilled Rider
202 pts

Comes out to 995. Cant imagine how annoying it must have been to play though.

To me that looks rather terrible....

about a third of your army in HQ.
No shuri-cannons on your jetbike squads (thats where all your firepower from those squads comes from)
Vypers... with holofields.. I mean man they are vypers, I would have gone with a couple of squads of warp spiders instead..

Kudos to you for pulling a couple of wins with that list..

I'm kind of surprised that you pulled two victories. Certainly your list is mobile as all get out, but you have very little firepower. Looks good for running around in circles, but not much for doing any fighting. I would think that even an IG gunline would be able to dismantle this army without much trouble with some heavy bolters and autocannons.

Plus once 5th comes out, those three small squads of jetbikes are gonna be targeted with much more ferocity.

Wow, rather terrible.. definately wasnt expecting that. So, what im thinking is to knock out the farseer to beef up those jetbike units, and to add catapults to them. About the Vypers, what do you think I should do with them then? I need at least some protection from having them crash and burn. So possibly scratching some points out there could let me add the last Shining Spear to the unit. Sound like a plan??

Hey its not so bad. Look at it this way it takes a good general to make a bad list work.....

Im guessing that your going with the jetbike theme, keeping everything nice and fast..

Personally I would go with a farseer with storm and a singing spear on the jetbike. It will add some AT to the list and storm will also add some more bang for when you run into horde armys.

Add shuriken cannons to all of your jetbike squads to give it more bang.

Personally I would drop all of the vypers, and add another shining spear unit to accompany the farseer. You could then add in another guardian jetbike squad with the points left over.

Whittle away with the guardian squads, then jump them with the shining spears when they are taken down to a few models. Rinse and Repeat.
