I've not gone against Eldar, other than the darker variety, but I find Tau to be easy, and Nids to be a pain in the butt.

Against Tau, move the scarabs and Lord up quick, while the Monolith waits to Deepstrike. Once the Lord gets in position and starts using the Shroud, it really messes with his lines. The Monolith arriving, Arcing, and promptly spitting out Flayed Ones into his lines tends to finish the deal.

Nids are another story. They tend to have more wounds than I can shoot down quickly, and I can't just scare em away. The little ones get into hand to hand, tie me up untill the big guys get in there, and, well, finish the deal.

I've never had a problem with scarabs vs my Tau.

I run a ton of plasma/missile crisis suits, so killing them in droves isn't difficult.

Killing the scarabs isn't the problem, it's killing em and having enough firepower to down the Lord when they're gone. That 5+ inv save comes in real handy, as well as the speed to put them into a spot to limit the amount of firepower that can be aimed at them.

Well usually killing the Lord isn't a problem.

10-15 crisis suits makes most armies cry, including alot of my own. lol

Time to go to the FLGS.
