I see your using the official elar list. Id recommend also familiarising yourself with the fan list and making sure you have the minis to use either! Both versions are used extensively.
It will be interesting which eldar list you prefer.
If you like super heavies I dare say you will not like the "revised" list. Scorpions are no longer worth taking and revenants and cobras have also been slightly nerfed. Fire prisms are totally different!
Hmm, I'd add that those comments are very much 'Rugs opinion'. Personally I think revised Scorpions are still very good. I see Eldar players loading up on them locally and on battle reports posted here. They are just not quite such a no-brainer choice as they used to be.
Yes check out the Handbook in my sig if you like. To clarify - it's actually been developed by the people SG officially appointed to revise EA so it really is more than just a fan work, though it is that too. Apart from Rugs tourni group of about 20 people in the UK, and the French (who have made their own EA rules), all EA groups around the world that have an online presence that I'm aware of are using the EA Handbook 2008 or something very close to it. It is still in experimental form and feedback is wanted on the change proposals (especially eldar!). General Eldar changes were to tone them down as they were winning too often in their original Swordwind form.
More importantly, whatever version you play, all Epic is good!
Netepic is another popular version of Epic here, being based on the SM 2nd ed rules.
