I don't know, even during the heresy there weren't enough eldar to really matter. Certainly no force the eldar can scrape together currently could match a full legion.

Constantly being negative doesn't make you seem erudite, it just makes you look like a curmudgeon. |

You don't need to. You leave one Wraithguard and seal off that section of the Webway and let the Daemons in. An endless horde of Daemons is more than a match.

Most of the webway is already infested with demons, not like endless streams, but there are enough holes that travel thru the webway is dangerous if you are not at least as badass as a harlequin troupe. A lone wraithguard is a tasty eldar soul wrapped in hard candy exterior, so i doubt they would make a very good sentinel. Also given that the eldar can no longer maintain the webway I'm sure they would be loathe to damage it further.

You can seal sections off so only the human bit gets demons inside.
It's nowhere near that dangerous. You can travel through it and be fine most of the time.
You don't need a sentinel. You see the Imperium coming and then set off any D weaponry. You probably could make a timed version.
Damaging is way better than losing it and going extinct.

Is it really wise for the emperor to kill off the marines though? I mean, weren't they designed to police his Empire as relatively stable, long term soldiers? The reason why he killed off the Thunder Warriors was because they were faulty prototypes. They were short lived, violent and unstable. If you are trying to maintain a galaxy wide empire, the last thing you need is for your soldiers to go insane and start attacking your worlds, thus resulting in you having to waste your time trying to put them down. Marines, in theory, weren't supposed to have that problem, but in practice they were more loyal to the Primarchs rather to him, which is a factor in how the heresy started.

I got the impression that Eldar (Aeldari) look down on the human tactic of scorched earth.

They look down on using Hemlock fighters too. They still get used.

The important thing is that the Aeldari get to look down on someone. It's bad enough that humans are just apes wearing hats.
