I'm a total newbie and I've only quickly glanced over the IG codex, so I can't comment on the dark eldar army, but your IG army looks really nice! Just one question: don't you need a platoon command squad?

I cant comment much on the DE, however I have a couple of suggestions for the IG. I am assuming you will be running the CCS in the third Vendetta or it will be running empty. However I would probably do the following:

-Find points for one of your 3xplasma Vet Squads to get Harker, and give his Chimera a Heavy Stubber.
-Not too sure if you really need the Artillery, I would scratch them both, in favor of Chimera's and Demolitions for the Vets inside the Vendettas. If you happen to get Turn 1, and your opponent is not careful one squad can take down 1-3 vehicles with a carefully planned multi-charge. Since all their attacks automatically hit.
-Only other thing is possibly finding the points to field a DH Elite Inquitor with 2xMystics and park him right behind Harker's Squad.

What bebe-paquito said except also try and upgrade LRBT to an Exec (keeping its PC Sponsons)

Well, I play DE for a long time participating in many tournaments with it, especially in the 3th ed.
I never had much success with Reaver Jetbikes.
However, I always played only one unit.

Two squads with two blasters each can be scary.
I attended the German Thorne of Skulls last week and there are many SM and CSM armies out there that field one or more Landraiders.
You could pop it with the dark lances and finish the passengers off with the Jetbikers.

Okay, here's a reworked DE list.

As for the Guard, I could drop the artillery, but I really want to have more anti-infantry firepower. For the cost of the battery, I could get another flamer vet squad, give all three flamer vet squads demolitions, and upgrade the Russ to a Demolisher, but I'm not sure that little bit of tactical flexibility would compensate for the loss of firepower or not.
