I've recently started building an Eldar army, but I'm not exactly sure that I have a good list. I had some extra points so I just threw on a few upgrades. Please let me know what you think.

Welcome to Dakka!!

So, Farseer going with Fire Dragons, aye?
You might get better results if you ran him with Jetbikes.
With JB and Singing Spear, he's only 20 points more expensive.

Eldar Exarchs are mostly useless if you give them no special equipment or powers.
So either boost your Exarchs with special guns (and Fast Shot. Always Fast Shot with Spider exarch) or just make them regular guys so you'll get the points for Farseer.

Wraithlords love Glaives. With only five points, that's something to concider.

Overall I'd take a third troop choice. Jetbikes may seem invincible with their mobility, but once you lose a single squad your scoring is really weak.

So maybe drop the prism? Or give up the Fragons and place some Guardians/DA in that Serpent (which should have Scatter Laser instead, btw).

Hope this helped!

If the enemy takes tanks, you're laughing. If they field an infantry army, you may struggle as you're a bit light on shooting!

I'd agree on giving up the fire dragons and getting some DA to replace them, and buffing out those jetbikes. Three jetbikes are a bit of a pain to shoot down, but with only six the enemy can concentrate on them and remove your chance of grabbing objectives.

I'd maybe think about trading in that fire prism, too - again, you've got plenty of anti-armour, maybe a second squad of spiders? Just imagine two big squads of fast moving infantry, able to threaten nearly everything they can field. You might panic them into losing, before you even start shooting stuff.

So what do you think about this? I had 30pts left over so I put cannons on the bikes. Any better ideas for those points?

That is a good list. The Warp Spiders jumping around, the Wraithlords and Prisms putting fire downrange, while the Bikes take objectives. Good Luck -Feasible

Mobile list with multiple threats, quick objective-grapping and supporting fire.
I like it.

Me likey. Can take on any threat and dash about confusing and bemusing.
