Oh lovely Eldar, so many toys yet they don't all go together. I'd love to field Dark Reapers for example, but speed and flexibility I believe are far more interesting. Here it is. Feel free to tear it apart, I won't cry, be brutally constructive and let me know what you think. 1500pts.

My opponents are either Nids, Orcs, CSM, or sometimes Necrons, so tooling vs a specific army is out. As for tactics, well, that becomes situational also as vs Nids is quite a bit different then vs Necrons. All I can say is my Avatar and Wraithlord will hopefully be sitting on a hot objective.

1 Avatar of Khaine (HQ)

1 Farseer (HQ); Jetbike, Mind War, CC Weapon, Shuriken Pistol

1 Wraithlord (Heavy Support); Flamer (x2), Star Cannon

9 Howling Banshees (Troops)
     Power Weapon; Shuriken Pistol; Banshee Mask
     1 Exarch; Executioner, Acrobatic
     1 Wave Serpent
          Linked Shuriken Catapults; Linked Scatter Lasers
          Spirit Stone

9 Striking Scorpions (Troops)
     Mandiblasters; Shuriken Pistol & CCW
     1 Exarch; Scorpion's Claw
     1 Wave Serpent
          Linked Shuriken Catapults; Linked Shuriken Cannon
          Spirit Stone

5 Guardian Storm Squad (Elite)
     Shuriken Pistol & CCW (x3); Flamer (x2); Haywire Grenades
     Warlock; Destructor, CC Weapon, Shuriken Pistol
     1 Wave Serpent
          Linked Shuriken Catapults; Linked Bright Lance

5 Fire Dragons (Troops)
     Fusion Gun; Meltabombs
     1 Wave Serpent
          Linked Shuriken Catapults; Linked Star Cannon
          Spirit Stone
         
4 Swooping Hawks (Fast)
     1 Exarch; Web of Skulls & Shr. Pst. Sustained Assault

Models in Army: 43
Total Army Cost: 1499

Lots of serpents, yes, but how can you not love them? I'm iffy on the fire dragons, let me know what you think. I could ditch them, up the guardian squad to 10 and give the warlock a WB and maybe tool up my transports a bit more instead. CotYK I don't think will work well without any (shudder) precious Eldar meat shields.

*edit* I cleaned it up, point costs are out

It looks like a fine list, but I'd suggest having more unified weapons choices for your Serpents.  You're probably going to want to give them all Brightlances.  One Scatterlaser would be fine, just to cover against massive hordes (though, that's what your Scorpions are for, right?).

Also, be careful about posting points costs for wargear.  You didn't do anything too blatant, but we run a pretty tight ship here.  ;)
