For general I would go for Scorpions.

It depends on what the rest of your army lacks, and the way that you have designed it to fight, Not knowing anything about the rest of your army I am guessing that you could probably use some extra punch in HTH, so either scorps or banshees, but If mobility is your problem I would go with warp spiders, mobility is especially important if you play a lot of missions.

ummm....do u really need another elite choice??? ask yourself whether your army is lacking in any way before u use three elite slots..point wise thats pretty costly.  But if indeed you are in need of another one i would pick banshees if you play sm a lot or scorps for anything else.

you should go for close combat troops (either banchees or scorps, id get both, so you can devide which your going to use, since banchees are good against marines, and scorps are good against gaunts and weaker things.)

i would seriously go with 9 warp spiders + exarch.

give the exarch power blades and the extra death spinner and he will help.  also give him the suprise assault skill.

lets do the math


Exarch base is 3...+1 for charge +1 for SA
9 spiders base is 9 +9 for charge +9 for SA = 32 attacks on the charge!!!

get withdraw skill and fall back right after assault...keep hitting the enemy like this and it should work!

Warp Spiders or Scorpions, by choice.

But, Dark Wind makes a very good point. Do you need a third Elites choice?

Unless it's a huge game, and you've filled most of the force roster, you don't always need to take all the Elites you can. Don't take a unit unless it fills a specific gap in the army, or to overemphasise an existing strength.

Maybe try for hawks if your going up against alot of low toungness opponetts. Its a fast attack choice but very effective sometimes.

Otherwise same goes as Prince of the Laughing God said. Work out whats lacking in your army and fill the gaps. Eldar elites are almost over specilised units, so chooce something that you are missing.

warp spiders i find very very good at taking objectives and for hit and run with some nice attack powers... but you should see if you need that, if you have 15 bikes already then warp spiders are overkill

Hard to say as it depends on what else you've got - but if you're short in the CC department against marines and nids, it'd have to be Banshees.  Take the Exarch with Acrobatic.
