Yes. Playing any game as a cheese is impossible, cheese can't play games.

On a more serious note sure, just balance our army vs your opponent and don't max out on the op stuff. There are enough fun units and weapon choices in there that don't ruin our game.

An idiot proof way to build a non cheesy eldar army.
- Don't do formations.
- Look at the codex, select only units & upgrades that makes you go. "I love the idea / model / fluff but why would anyone ever want to field that"

And the most important step.
-Change and tone down our army if it was clearly too op to play against in retrospect

You might want to check out this site if you want some guidelines on how (not) to build op armies.

[Edit] This might be the best way to build the least OP army of any sort if you don't know that much about the game. Just read the file and try to minimize the credits. The file has been made with great care for the sole reason to tone down op armies.

Just a heads up, eldar jetbikes are criminally under costed in points for their effectiveness in the game even if you don't load them up with heavy weapons. ; )

What's funny is that the Eldar uber weapons suck against the bottom tier armies of Orks & Guard.

Yeah I am having a blast fighting eldar armies with my orks. All those silly eldar players who are shooting D weapons at my grots ; )

But in all seriousness. No sane eldar player will be shooting their anti armour weapons against boys. They will one shot their transports with it and use it to obliterate the heavy armour in a few rules of shooting. The rest of their high rate of fire anti infantry weapons are perfect at murdering orks and low av vehicles, while their superior movement makes sure that they don't get in assault.

To be fair. This tactic used to work perfectly in the 5th edition , but the current meta of high str or re-roll to wound high rate of fire weapons makes it less feasible. Even the lowly eldar guardian, dire avenger are a bane of most ork units and the popular spiders and bikes make it even worse.

Note this doesn't make it so that you can't make a non cheesy eldar army. It just states that orks have a hard time vs most eldar armies ; )
