Ok, thoughts welcome...

Farseer, mantle, spear, jetbike
5 rangers
5 rangers
6 jetbikes, 2 Shuriken cannons
6 jetbikes, 2 Shuriken cannons
10 dire avengers, exarch with shimmer shield, wave serpent with TL scatter laser, Shuriken cannon, holo fields
5 warp spiders
5 warp spiders
Wraith knight with 2 HWC
Wraith knight with 2 HWC
Wraith knight with sun cannon, scatter laser

Farseer takes default divination and fate to cast on the 2 WK with the HWC. Third power will be default telepathy unless I get doom/fortune from fate.

Rangers are objective campers, bikes work with the avengers and spiders to take objectives spear headed by sun cannon WK.

I had considered dropping the sun cannon knight for other options (2 crimson hunters with some shuffling?) but not sure

Drop the avengers and serpent, its a lone tank that will just get shot to pieces. Add in more bikes that fly in from reserve and steal wins. The wraithknights can take the punishment from turn 1 except against dark eldar but they are so terrible in 6th that facing to them should be considered a rarity.

Add more spiders, they are pretty much the best point for point anti tank/anti air/anti marine unit Eldar have access to.

Rick Priestley said it best:
Bryan always said that if the studio ever had to mix with the manufacturing and sales part of the business it would destroy the studio. And I have to say – he wasn’t wrong there! The modern studio isn’t a studio in the same way; it isn’t a collection of artists and creatives sharing ideas and driving each other on. It’s become the promotions department of a toy company – things move on!

Fist off this lust wouldn't be fun for your opponent at all, app if you are looking too play this as a casualgame...don't bother. If outs for a tournament or.equally competitive game then fine tale it.

Make the spiders into one ten man squad. Centrally shimmer Sheilds don't do as well as you would think..dire avengers soil die easily. I would recommend dropping the dire avengers for some guardians. In a wave serpent they will be in range to spot when they unload, so the extra range doesn't matter. Also

Interesting you say DE are terrible as I have found quite the opposite, though they are still rare to see. I was hoping the WK would effectively increase target saturation and thus see the serpent live. I like the idea of having at least 1 in the list for the shield shooting option

It's for the end of year masters tourney... I won it last year with pure dark eldar.

I have found avengers quite durable comparatively - they survive the serpent going down better than guardians, will typically be able to shoot turn 1, have better LD and the shield removes the need for cover in the face of auto cannons.

I wonder if by dropping a unit of rangers and the sun cannon knight, adding a 3rd unit of bikes as well as more spiders would be better. I could add a WL instead of the 3rd knight?

I can do for sure, though apart from the warlord traits and the warlord selection the lis makes no other use of the book

It doesn't have to. Any Eldar army can use the rules; tere literally is no reason not to unless you're a fluff monger.
