Hey,
Been trying to make a list for 500 points with Eldar and came up with this. The idea here is to make use of the aspect host detachment.
Suggestions are appreciated!

Hq
Windseer, singing spear

Troops
Windriders
3x scatter laser

Windriders
2x Scatter laser

Heavy
3x Dark reapers
3x Dark reapers
3x Dark reapers

Total 497

Well the list you have there is actually 617pts, not 497. It looks like you forgot to add the Farseer's point in. I'm also adding in the points for the DR Exarchs, which are required for the Aspect Host.
I don't think the Aspect host is necessary at 500pts. You could just as easily run this:

HQ - Farseer Skyrunner, singing spear

Troops
3x Scatter laser bikes
3x Scatter laser bikes

Heavy
3x Dark reapers
3x Dark reapers

So you drop the 3rd DR unit and don't have any Exarchs, but the list will function just fine.

Not that you should expect to see a lot of heavy armor at this point scale, but you don’t have a solid answer to anything over AV 12.

You will however, tear through anything softer.

Oh, I didn't realise you need the exarchs for AH.
But i still get the count to 497.

Windseer, spear, 120 points

Windrider 3 scatter, 81 points
Windrider 2 scatter, 71 points,

3x Dark reapers, 75 points
3x Dark reapers, 75 points
3x Dark reapers, 75 points

Regarding the armour 12 and above, I'm kind of just hoping for that people wont be dicks and bring land riders in a 500 points game. 12 is manageable with that many s6 shots and the spear tho. Or at least i hope so.

Oh, I haven't used or even really considered Dark Reapers since 3 of them cost 105pts. I forgot that they got cheaper.
I still don't think you need 3 unit of them in 500pts.

You could easily drop 1 unit of Reapers, upgrade the other 2 with Exarchs, then give those Exarchs a missile launcher just in case you face any AV12+

It’s not just AV14, but 13. Which is a bit more reasonable at this point level. And while marines might have soft side armor, not all tanks do. IIRC necron ghost arcs are AV13 front/sides until you get a pen, which you never will. Some of the beefier walkers are also 13 F/S. And getting into arc for the rear armor shot might mean you can’t scoot far enough away to escape retribution.

Thanks for the tips,

I came up with this instead.
