So I'm really stoked about my first game in 6th this weekend. I'll be running my Eldar vs. SM, 2000 points.

These are the models I have:
Spoiler:

HQ
1xAutarch (foot)
1xFarseer (foot)
1xWarlock (foot)
1xAutarch (jetbike)
1xFarseer (jetbike)
6xWarlock (jetbike)

Troops
10xDA
1xDA Exarch
20xGuardians
2xHW platforms

Elite
12xFD
2xFD Exarch
4xHowling Banshees
1xHB Exarch
5xStriking Scorpions

Fast Attack
7xSwooping Hawks
4xWarp Spiders
1xWS Exarch

Heavy Support
3xWar Walkers
1xFalcon

Transport
2xWave Serpents


And this is the list I was thinking of running:
HQ - (625)
Jetcouncil
Autarch - Jetbike, Power Weapon, Plasma Gun, Mandiblasters
Farseer - Jetbike, RoWit, SS, Doom, Fortune
6x Warlock - Jetbike, 4x destructor, 1x enhance

Troop - (473)
5x DA - Exarch w/duoASC, bladestorm
Falcon - Shuri-Cannon
6x DA - 6x DA - Exarch w/duoASC, bladestorm
WS - under Shuri-Cannon, tl EML

Elite - (446)
5x Fire Dragons
WS - tl Shuri-Cat, tl SL
5x Fire Dragons
WS - tl Shuri-Cat, tl SL

Fast Attack - (215)
5x Warp Spiders
5x Swooping Hawks

Heavy - (240)
2x War Walker - 2x SL
2x War Walker - 2x SL

I'd love some thoughts on tactics or list alterations.

Thanks!

Your list looks fine. Tactics wise, its too early for solid tactics to begin emerging. Little used units are worth checking out and exploring. Footdar look like they might be viable.

One tip. Don't have characters in the front of your unit. Wounds are allocated to the closest model(who rolls saves) till it dies, then the next closest model takes wounds. So make sure your Farseer isn't upfront, and be mindful of which warlock is where. Your opponent can flank you to change who gets hit first.

Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines

Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.

MURICA!!! IN SPESS!!!
