I've recently started playing in the Ladder campaign in the 5th ed, just played the 1st game and I crushed my opponent, im running the following Eldar list:

Autarch on bike, with lance and Mandi blasters
3 Shining Spears W/ exarch & star lance
10 Dire Avengers W/ exarch extra gun and Bladestorm
Wave serpent W/ stones and Twin Starcannon
5 rangers
10 Warpsiders W/ exarch extra gun and power blades
Fire Prism W/ stones

for the next 2 1500 point battles im thinking of adding

A doomseer, Holofields to the Prism, a 20 man Gaurdian Squad with a support weapon and a Wraithlord, although im not sure on the additional stuff, my opponent is running marines, with at least at the 1000 point level no special characters, anyone have any suggestions for an extra 500 keeping the core of the army from the 1000 point variant

Autarch and SS's need backup BAD. Four won't last long in the open, and there's a good chance they won't do enough in combat either. More More more mech mech!

I'd take a 2nd Prism for twin-linking goodness and another DA squad in a Serpent.

You need another CC unit. The spears do not start fights, they finish them. Use them to crunch and already damaged unit, or to end a drawn out fight. Rember they are only cool when they first assault, after the first turn their weapons are not S6 anymore...

Maybe some war walker action? 2 EMLs and stones put one walker at 75, fairly cheap for the range/versatility. I would go with 2 walkers as 2 units, one with plasma and one with krak. That gives you some more all around killy for cheap
