So it's been about a year since I've played (long, lame story) and I'm playing two games this weekend, both 1,500 pts, one against Eldar and one against Guard. Ideas? All I've heard about the Eldar since I've been out is how murdery they are.
I tend run vehicle light and daemon heavy with marks of Tzeentch, generally including a bulked out sorcerer as a mainstay.
Appreciate the help!

What models do you have?

4 Helbrutes
1 Heldrake
1 Defiler
1 Forgefiend
10 Warp Talons
10 Raptors
2 Terminator Sorcerers
1 Sorcerer
1 Warpsmith
10 terminators
60 cultists
12 Chosen
1 Rhino
1 Tank
33 Space Marines
3 Obliterators
2 Chaos Lords
1 Dark Apostle

I'd start with two solid 10man CSM squads for holding a line/objectives and a 3rd in a rhino for objective claiming.
I'd then whack a bunch of cultists with no marks as meatshields to stick in cover.

For HQ I'd bring 2 sorcerers, and if you're going tzeentch I'd kit them out for daemon summoning if you have daemon models, otherwise I'd kit one out with blessings and the other with offensive spells, keeping one in the backline and the other with termie armour. Stick the termie in reserve with a 5 man termie squad to deep strike in, alongside your oblits.

100% bring your drake and forgefiend, your forgefiend there to push up a flank alongside raptors/warp talons and rhino.

I think this is about all you could fit, your battle plan here basically being to hold a position using heavy infantry and meatshields. your fast troops then push up a flank. Then when you hit them, try timing it for turn 2, you have reinforcements in the oblits, Termies and drake.

This is just off the top of my head looking at your list, hope it helps
