good idea, I was also thinking maybe a few vehicle given by craftworlds that want to help against the growing tyranid threat.
Maybe a falcon/wave serpent plus some warwalkers

so you have 2*10 guardians and 2 warlocks? Good. That's your home scoring units taken care of. The wraithlord with ranged weapons can babysit them. I recommend giving the guardians scatter lasers woth embolden warlocks, and the lord bl/eml. You have 5 avengers. Put them in a falcon or serpent for endgame objective grabs.
Eldar players always end up with more heavy support options than they can legally take. I notice that you already have three, and the problem is that each of these units is better in pairs. At this stage it will cost you more to get walkers than anything else, as you will need at least 1*3 and preferably 2*2. If you have the new prism kit I would switch it to a night spinner and get another lord.
The avatar goes well here for an mc list, but fearless is detrimental if your guardians get into combat.
to mechanise or not is moot as it is very tricky to run a strictly footslogging eldar army; at this point you already have one serpent, so you should probably get another one or three. One box of fire dragons for anti tank and a full squad of banshees or scorpions depending on whether you face meq or geq primarily. Personally I run both.
mass s6 shooting at rear armour is where eldar excel: if you don't want to spend megabucks on war walkers (actually, even if you do) warp spiders are invaluable. Jetbikes are also pretty sweet if you run them at a decent size - I find 6 with 2 cannons plus warlock is good, not so small that it dies in one round and not so big that it can't hide.
reapers are very killy but also squishy and as such I find they tend to die quickly. As much as I love them (dralith is the name of their rune) I find they are essentially an overpriced exarch delivery system. If you do take them give the exarch crack shot to counter cover.

those are my borthers eldar..... but thanks anyway

I like the look of your orange desert warriors.. But before you go whole hog with it - think about how you are going to carry the them through on a falcon/waveserpent chassis. If you are happy with that, go for it.

I should have a image of a guardian in desert scheme up in a few day (possibly tomorrow, late in the day at best).

Welcome to Dakka!

Have fun!

What do you guys think I should do for aspect warriors, as in either craftworld colors, normal aspect style or a combination of the both?

Finally some pics :



Dead 'nid fits with the hive fleet of the fleet that destroyed Malan'tia as is my Eldar's fluff :

also I was thinking if their was a willing DCM could someone move this page to modelling and painting blogs?

only mods get to move stuff..... but I'd suggest you to just start a new blog, as the first page of this thread is tactica discusion.
It doesnt matter if you post your images several times, so dont worry......

your guardians are looking very nice, I really like the bases !

if you want to learn more about painting and modelling, check out this thread I made; I asked the users here to share their most useful pieces of advice, and I think everyone can learn a lot from it:

You already know how to paint a mini, but it will still be useful to you (well, I learned a lot at least)

and if you have something to contribute, do so!

I have moved the discussion to: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/430973.page#3933919
