Hey Guys! Wrote up my first army list for Eldar the other day and I'm looking for some input. To me the list feels a little bit disjointed--Lots of moving pieces not necessarily working together.

From what I'm reading I should maybe try to find a way to get another WS or two into the list because they're very good. I'm also a little light on the CC, but I'm not sure that's a problem.

Anyway! All input is appreciated, really looking to find tune this army into something deadly!

I recommend Warp Spiders over Swooping Hawks. Unless you are building a list around the abilities of Swooping Hawks, Warp Spiders are better in almost every respect...and can do things Hawks cannot accomplish at all.

You're doing a lot of different things with your troops, I'd recommend centralizing to a certain type of troop maybe two types...three types is trying to do too much.

Autarch on bike with the Reaper Launcher is a bit of a points sink for minimal return.

How do you feel about this:

I would make one of the autarchs a laughingtarch with the mantle, and a fusion gun. I've never really seen a Wraithknight do much more than soak up fire and die, Run as many Wave Serpents as you can with TL SL as they are probably the best transport in the game right now, you also may be able to drop one of the autarchs honestly.

Also Vypers seem to be pretty meh as well.

Wraithknights are great, you just have to know your enemy's range and make sure it keeps in cover and gets into melee at some point. I take mine with the suncannon and it wipes out entire squads at a time. Consider him, the smash element.

Wraith Knights is not great. They are point sinks. Hornets and Fire Prisms are way better at doing excatly the same. With Sun Cannon he is moderatly good. But does nothing that 300 pts any where else could do better. I rather have Hortnets instead of Vypers. And Warp Spiders over Swooping Hawks. Take a spiritseer instead of autarch that will give you a scoring Wratih Guard. Put the ekstra points into scatterlasers, Shuriken cannon and holofields on wave serpents.
