Eldar can be tough, their vehicles can move faster than yours, are more survivable, and they have awesome psychic defence.

Your main strength is assault.....most of eldars good units are not good in assault.....wraithguard, dark reapers, pathfinders etc....and their troops are even worse. Harlequins may pose you a problemn due to their mobility and rending but you will out move most of their other choices...remember eldar have no assault vehicles.

Best bet is to load up on assault marines and sanguinary priests and rush them. Astorath is a great HQ for this type of army, red thirst 1-3.

Well actually there is a lot that is overlooked in the Blood Angels codex, cheaper devastators for one, command squads for cheap sang priests, as well as fast vehicles etc
But it suffers from the vanilla list....TH/SS termies are more expensive we cant do a biker army, no thunderfire cannon, or speeder storm etc

Actually death company can be a costly mistake....remember you cant control where they are going, a canny opponent will bait them away. And all the special characters are expensive, and one dimensional in their roles. Personaly I think the Blood angels book is best used as an alternate SM codex, for people who want to play Space marines a different way.

And in regards to Eldar, Mephiston will kill himself just trying to get a psychic power off, Astorath would be a better choice as he improves your army by the fact more may get the red thirst 1-3.
