Couple of suggestions boss - I like the warhost, and I think you have it built pretty well. Find the points for another swooping hawk to make the squad 6 and get the large blast grenade pack. Are you taking both missiles on the reapers? I highly suggest this. Having the option for s5 or s8 at ap3 and ignores jink is GREAT. YMMV. On the CAD, you have it nailed pretty well, but I'd split to 3 squads of 3 bikes. That's more coverage with super fast obsec troops that pack a wallop in shooting. Just don't do like me and let someone see them and get to go first. HIDE THEM!
Looks solid man. Semi-competitive? This will do really well at pretty much all RT type tourneys boss. It'll also will do well versus most armies in pick up games. Good luck!

Currently it's a 4man with the exarch upgrade on the reapers. I could drop them to 3 mans and take the missiles upgrade. Can't fit another swooping hawk though without seriously messing up a unit or dropping a windrider. I could drop the jetbike off a farseer and that would do it. He'd have to pall with guardians though and I really plan on using them aggressively. What do you think?

Why the Warhost? I don't see much synergy between Warhost and Auxil. with the added CAD. Individually the choices are fine enough.
Personally I've enjoyed D-Cannons, I believe their biggest strength is board control. That being the case I'm not sure I agree with taking a single squad of three - that's very expensive and has a narrow field of fire for desirable targets. Alternatively, swap a Farseer for Eldrad for the Scout. This increases your utility dramatically.

Do you expect on facing a lot of bikes? If so, then reapers are your go-to, but if you have the models, you might want to consider some spiders here.
Also, if you can swing 6 hawks, you get the bigger blast template. This is fantastically useful against GEQ.

I face a lot of I crons/daemons/eldar/DA so the DR will do great for me I think. I just got them and have never used them (I have 10 total). I don't have any spiders - I know they are amazing and could buy some. Are they really better than scat bikes though? Seems redundant taking spiders and scat bikes (I could be very wrong here). I really want to get that 6th hawk in there - what change would you make to fit the 6th hawk into this list?

I don't know - I am just trying to make eldar work better. Only have 4 games under my belt. Won each game pretty soundly vs wolfstar and a variety of cron lists. I wasnt using the gardian formation though.
My list was
Eldrad
Farseer on bike
12 scatter bikes
a D scythe WG squad in a serpant with SL and SC
3x d cannons
3x shadow weaver
3x WW 6x BL
WK SB
hemlock
Just trying to see what works best. I feel like the list I posted is much more TAC. I like to make a list and play it vs 3 opponents in a single day. Can you give me and example of a tac all comers eldar list? Not just bike spam ether.
