Ok folks. I haven't really played 40k since 5th edition. Couple of games of 7th under my belt, but not enough yet to be building my own lists. I have thrown together 2 piles of miniatures and was hoping for some Eldar and Daemon competitive lists that can be made from these piles.

Eldar
Eldrad
Farseer on foot
20 Windriders
17 Warpspiders
2x Wraithknight
Titan
2 Falcons
2 Wave Serpents
3 Farseer on bike
10 Seer Council on Bike
5 Fire Dragons
5 Rangers
all of the Phoenix Lords
Vyper
Fire Prism
Crimson Hunter
Also more misc Windriders, Swooping Hawks etc.


Daemons

Fateweaver
GUO
6x Daemon Princes. I have 6 so I could run a Tetrad, or 3x Nurgle Princes
40 Horrors
3 Chariots with Flamers and Heralds all magnetized, so I can use them for whatever
20 Plaguebearers
30 Bloodletters
9 Screamers


That about sums it up. I can buy more stuff if need be, but I am looking for a fairly decent 1850 and 2000 point lists for both piles if possible. To be honest, the Eldar I have only played once, but they seemed a lot easier to grasp than the Daemons so far. Just a couple of powers were really needed and all the shooting did pretty well. The Daemons, lots more confusion with all the different psychic trees and powers to choose from.

Any help is much appreciated and any tips on running these things would be great as well. I am slowly working my way through the tactics threads on both armies as we speak.

Thanks in advance.

(moved to lists thread)

Pick anything you like from your list of eldar that's not a phoenix lord and roll face before you graduate to the self playing scatbike/wraithknight/warspider list that will lose you friends. It's pretty hard to build a bad eldar list, so just take whatever you like and adjust the list from there.

I'd advise against daemons if you've already got eldar. Daemons take time to learn how to play, what powers to roll for, what to do when you don't get the powers you need, which powers to prioritise and what's sacrificial and when and even then, things can fall apart quickly due to dice luck on any one turn. Tzeentch is fickle...
