So, I'm in the process of acquiring a bunch of Eldar stuff off eBay and I'm pondering how to build an Iyanden army... Anyone have any suggestions on this? I'd like to hear some other people's input before I post my own ideas.

For me, Iyanden is like other but you definately need more Wraithguard and possibly Dreadn.. I mean Wraithlords.
For "standard sized" battles you need to aim for at least 2, preferably 3, wraihguard formations, i.e. 12 or 18 bases. I use 3 per base to extend wraithguard population (and they are that big anyway)
Not that many jetbikes and aspects needed, tho'

Probably should have been more clear  I mean in terms of army building, what should go into a list and what people's experiences with them are. I fully plan to field at least 2 Wraithguard formations and probably a Wraithlord formation as well (I'm a sucker for robot-ish things, and the Wraithguards/Wraithlords are just really cool all the way around!)

Well, right now I've got two different constructions in mind. The first one is for an aircraft-and-tanks centered army backed up by air-dropped Wraithguard:
Iyanden Flying Circus
3,000 Points
Eldar Spirit Warhost w/ 6x Wraithguard, 1x Wraith Seer (450) - BTS
Eldar Spirit Warhost w/ 6x Wraithguard, 1x Spirit Seer (350)
Warwalker Troupe w/ 6x Warwalkers (200)
Swords of Vaul w/ 6x Falcons. (300)
Swords of Vaul w/ 6x Falcons. (300)
Shields of Vaul w/ 3x Nightspinners (175)
Shields of Vaul w/ 3x Nightspinners (175)
Nightwing Interceptors w/ 3x Nightwings (300)
Nightwing Interceptors w/ 3x Nightwings (300)
Vampire Raider (200)
Vampire Raider (200)
Wraithgate (50)
Avatar (Free)
The second is a more ground-based force centered around using some wraithgates and the durability of the wraithguards/wraithlords to survive and push against the enemy:
Iyanden War Party
3,000 Points
Eldar Spirit Warhost w/ 6x Wraithguard, 1x Wraith Seer (450)
Eldar Spirit Warhost w/ 6x Wraithguard, 1x Spirit Seer (350)
Wraithlord Troupe w/ 6x Wraithlords (350)
Revenant Titans w/ 2x Revenant (650)
Ranger Troupe w/ 4x Eldar Rangers (100)
Ranger Troupe w/ 4x Eldar Rangers (100)
Aspect Warrior Troupe w/ 4x Dark Reapers, 4x Falcons. (435)
Wraithgate (50)
Swords of Vaul w/ 4x Falcons, 1x Firestorms. (250)
EoV Troupe w/ 1x Storm Serpent (250)
Avatar (free)
I was considering for the first one dropping the Supreme Commander and the Wraithgate and 1 Falcon from the two Swords of Vaul troupes in favor of a third Swords of Vaul troupe at 5 strong. But, that'd give me two formations tied for BTS, and no Supreme Commander re-roll, so not sure I'll go with that or not...
