So I really like the look of the new finecasted Eldar and am looking for a new army. My current army is orks and I'm looking for something that requires more strategy and finess then my current kan wall. Based on the information at akaean's getting started with eldar post: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/402275.page
I have come up with this for 1500pts:
Eldrad 210
Autarch, Fusion Gun, Power Weapon, Banshee Mask 93
5 Fire Dragons, Wave Serpent, TL Shuri Cannon 180
5 Fire Dragons, Wave Serpent, TL Shuri Cannon 180
5 Dire Avengers, Wave Serpent, EML 180
5 Dire Avengers, Wave Serpent, EML 180
3 GJB, Warlock w/ Cannon, Spear, Embolden 129
Fire Prism 115
Fire Prism 115
Nightspinner 115
1497

Thus, After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd

beware of heavy weapons they will take you appart your list lacks punch so dont be to quick to charge into the bulk of a protected army
id drop the autarch all to gether that way you can bolster your gjb squad or give your tanks some holo fields (they are lifes blood) for you heavys

Thanks for the advice. Autarch was my points I had left choice. Thanks for the GJB advice, I was leaning holofields.

I like it, but thats not suprising considering you're using the basic competitive template, have 2 squads of dragons, and a full heavy support slot with 3 troop choices!
It should treat you well on the table top once you get a feel for how to make use of your 24 inch movement to contest, and tank shock objectives.
You'll likely find that the autarch's power weapon and banshee mask aren't very good. even at i10 hes still only got 5 s3 attacks on the charge. And your army is pretty much entirely lacking in units where his extra few attacks might make a difference.
I would recommend trading out those upgrades and using the points to grab an underslung cannon on one of your Avenger Wave Serpents.
The extra cannon has some synergy with the missile launcher, you can move 12 inches and fire a plasma missile (s4= defensive) and the cannon, or you can move 6 and fire both.

You should do well as long as you get the basics down as this is a pretty standard MSU Grav tank spam.
To clean it up a bit I'd tweak to...
Eldrad
5 Dragons + Serpent w/ Scatters
5 Dragons + Serpent w/ Scatters
5 DA + Serpent w/ Scatters
5 DA + Serpent w/ EML
Fire Prism w/ Holos
Fire Prism w/ Holos
Nightspinner
Holos on your prisms will be essential, at this point level especially, since that is the vast majority of your killing power.

What will Eldrad be doing exactly?
Why are you bringing an autarch? Do you really think reserving is needed at 1500? double HQ's at 1500 is over kill.
Imo bring a guidseer and war walkers instead of the nightspinner and eldrad, because I gurentee you wont use all of Eldrad's powers every turn.
Other than that pretty standard mechdar list.
