Hey, I'm trying to put together a 1000pt Eldar list that won't get me completely rolled over. I'm completely new at the game, and so could use some advice.
Here's what I've got so far, for what it's worth...:

HQ

Autarch (Jetbike, Mandiblasters, Laser lance) = 130

Elites

Striking Scorpions:
5x SS
1x exarch (scorpions claw) = 123

Troops

Dire Avengers:
9x DA
1x exarch (shuriken catapults, defend, bladestorm) = 167

Wave Serpent (DA transport):
missile launchers
hull shuriken cannon = 130

Rangers: x10 (pathfinders) = 240

Heavy Support

Dark Reapers:
4x DR
1x exarch (tempest launcher) = 207


TOTAL = 997

find something to scrap then put jepbikes in to add to you jb hq or srap the hq and get the eldar trickery one

You might try splitting your pathfinders into two squads of 5. With their pinning weapons this gives you the chance of pinning two units per turn. By himself that autarch has a target painted on his back.
