i plan on using my guardians and avengers to screen the rest of my army and use eldrads spells to support them making nothing easy to kill and also have the avatar make the guardians fearless
the FD and WL are obviously for any armor and the banshees and clowns can be used to clean up whats left as shock troops
any suggestions?

Few things that I would personally do if running Infantry eldar...
Don't bother with the Fire Dragons or Banshees, if you want another Elite other than Harelquins, go Striking Scorpians, and they can then outflank.
Guardians, don't think you need a squad of 20. I would drop the other troop choices, and get 4 or 5 squads of 10 Guardians with either Scatter Lasers or Bright Lances.
Maybe try and fit 3 War Walkers in as a 3rd heavy support choice, give them scatter laser or shuirken cannons and with guide and/or Doom they will be deadly against infantry.
Then if any points left, I would try and add a few Warlocks to accompany Eldard.

Also, not sure you need the Death Jester. How I think Harlequins work, is screening the rest of the army, with the shadowseer's rules making them harder to kill, or potentially putting the enemy off even bothering to shoot then, they can then give a cover save to units behind them.

i took a bit of ur advice and this is what i came up with:

I do like the idea of a footdar list, however your warwalkers must have 2x weapons each. So 3x warwalkers with 6x EML with stones comes to 225 per squad, not to sure where your calculations came from. Good Luck!

oops but does the codex mean that 20 pts per model or 20 pts for the whole squad?

The points is for 1x weapon, so 3x walkers need a total of 6x weapons. Hope this helps

or do you think i should take the walkers out and replace it with a wraithlord and the rest of the points on guardians?

Well, TBH its personal preference. The great thing about Wraithlords is that they have a great presence on the battlefield. I mean your opponent will 9 times out of 10 will always deem the wraithlord as a "high priority" target, and the beauty of it is they will soak up alot of bullets, especially if you have 2x of them. whereas warwalkers are great, they pump out alot of fire power, but they will go down quicker generally if tactically not used very will (IMO).

Personally i would take 3x warwalkers with scatter lasers maybe spirit stones, 2x wraithlords with EML or BL (just one shooting weapon).

Foot guardians with a mixture of EML and scatter lasers.

that should free up a few points too.

But again i cannot stress enough that this is your army, do field what you will have fun playing with!

thx bro this is what i got, please comment on it, its my first eldar so im hoping to hear some advice from more experienced players about how my army should be built to pack more punch:
