Greetings Dakka

We have a small campaign coming up, we have to use a single list for 3-4 games. It's 1850 points, three sources, ITC missions but normal b.r.b rules on things like D weapons and invisibility. The lists will be highly competitive.
I will be using the Eldar faction. One of our players will be using a very tough Magnus/ flyer M.C heavy list and I'm looking for some help counter this within an all-comers list if possible. Any suggestions?

MSU jetbike spam and play to objectives and outscore him?

Not sure the extent of the eldar army but if he has a lot of flying MC he's looking to table to win/summon more than you can deal with. Get lots of scatbikes and put the hurt on the ground demons and have enough units that there are too many for him to focus on over the game.

Well, Eldar has the best Anti Air unit in the game which is the Crimson Hunter, so it offered you achoice to engage FMC spam head on. I think even better is you bring a Crimson Death Formation. Do note in points wise, that 1.5 times of this formation worths 1 Magnus. So you can take this formation along with MSU Jetbikes and WK if you want.

If you do engage head on. Target the weaker Daemon Princes (i.e., those not with inv save buff or under Invisibility buff) first. Then goes up to the stronger. Meanwhile your Scatbikes should be able to clean up ground Daemons.
