Okay so I've come up with this eldar list and im wondering if it is theoretically strong. The main game plan, for if the ball is in my court, is to come up the board carefully by using cover and staying together with my 3 serpants. When my reserves start to come on that's when I will start to apply my list against the enemy with the scourges first going for heavy armour or light infantry by DS'ing down in cover and then moving in for the kill with fleet and a 12'' move. Even impetial Knights will have trouble with 5 I5 haywire cc attacks if they get caught off guard. The Crimson hunter is the AA. Everything else is handled by the serpants and the DA. I plan to drop off some DA in cover if there's an objective there whilst I push forwards. MC can be tackled and meq can be dealt with through weight of numbers. I'll just have to take into many variables if I drop my shields ex. Enemy reserves, anti tank and even heavy hitting cc if there are those units close by. What do you guys think?

I'd be tempted to swap out 5 swooping hawks for 3 Jetbikes with or without a cannon, and then upgrade some serpents with Cannons, Great for objectives, great for damage output, I'd personally run a wriathknight instead of a crimson Hunter as the Wave Serpents fill a psuedo AA role. But that's probably a preference for me

take out the hawks and take a fire prism or war walkers with bright lances as this list has a severe deficiency of anti armour.

One thing you can almost guarantee with this list is that you wont have weight of numbers. Stacking at a mighty 26 infantry models the forces using MC (tau, nids, ghost dar) will almost certainly have the same, or more models than you have on the field.
