After playing alot of 1000 to 1500 point battles I'm expanding my Eldar army to 1850 points. This isn't the most killer list but I hope it can do enough to not be completely outmatched by good lists.

HQ:

Eldrad

Troops:

Wave Serpent w/ Scatter Laser and Holo FIelds
10 Guardians

Wave Serpent w/ Scatter Laser and Holo Fields
10 Guardians

Wave Serpent w/ Scatter Laser and Holo Fields
10 Guardians

3 Jetbikes

3 Jetbikes w/ Shuriken Cannon

Fast Attack:

6 Warp Spiders w/ Exarch TL Deathspinner

Heavy Support:

3 War Walkers w/ double BL

Fire Prism w/ Holo fields

6 Dark Reapers w/ Starshot Missles and Exarch w/ EML and Fast Shot

ADL w/ Icarus Lascannon

1846 points

Are there any bases that haven't been covered?

hmm kinda all over.

What is eldrad for? I havnt found a good use for him outside of footdar lists. too expensive to keep back just for buffing walkers/reapers and wasted if put into a serpent.

It doesnt say whats on your serpents, make sure they have holo fields, scatter lasers and if you have the points the shuri cannon. Usually you take 5 man DA squads inside to save points since the insides rarely ever get out anyway.

Exarch is a waste of points on the warp spiders

Dark reapers can be fun, but they cost too many points and there are better options, i think with 3 walkers and an icarus las cannon you will be fine on anti tank/air

Most good builds work towards a seer council, since you dont have one that would be my suggestion to bring your army from 1500-1850

I completely agree with Admiral. maybe a laughing seer or something else instead of Eldrad. make sure the serpents have the upgrades he mentioned, especially scatter lasers.

All the Wave Serpents have Scatter Lasers and Shuriken Cannons, forgot to mention that. I thought that would be automatic.

I actually prefer the Guardians over the Dire Avengers as they can sometimes unload alot of shots on some units when needed.

I don't really have a good reason for using Eldrad outside of the fact that I have a cool painted Eldrad. I might lose him for two Farseers, one on foot with the Dark Reapers and one with a Mantle on a Jetbike.

Perhaps you could scrape up a few points for wraithguard in some of the serpents?

Which kind, the D-Scythes?

Personally i love D-Scythes, ive have killed a 8man thunderclave unit with them. Nothing like ruining someones Di**ish "Deathstar" w/ one unit.

As for your list if you drop the Prism for 3 more Warwalkers i think you would be better off. Also trade in the reapers for a Vaul Support Battery. The way barrage works in this edition is beast, you can do some easy pickings against your opponents. I here liked warpspiders, this edition or last. Id swap them for swooping hawks the can cause more damage and with precision deep striking you can really hurt someones army. If you want Wraithguard id suggest a spirit seer though and throw him in with the Vaul. my list at 1850 is

Dire Avengers x 5 185
Wave Serpent
