QUOTE First off, outstanding report, thanx for posting. I do have a couple of comments though.
Thanks! I really enjoy doing the Battle Reports!
The Ork list: Is this how you normally field them or have seen them fielded?
Well, it's a variation on how I usually field Orks. Since I kind of focus on Bad Moons, I like taking a lot of "flash tek!", so lots of shooting and guns and barrages. I love Stompas, and these were the first games I made extensive use of Supa-Stompas, and usually garrison them up ahead with the Big Gunzmobs (the Supas, prevent garrisoning though).
I do field mobz of Boyz as well, sometimes mechanized, but, honestly, I don't think I've ever fielded an 'Uge Mob of any kind, whether Blitz Brigade, Kult of Speed, or Warbands... I like having a few more activations than just 6 at 3000 points! *laugh*
I suppose playing against Necrons and Steel Legions, as well as Tyranids, have moved me away from putting so many greenskinned eggs in one basket.
Eldar list: Looking to see how this shakes out. Our local Eldar player focuses on ?Guardians in Wave Serpents, Wind rider hosts, Falcon troupes, Fire prisms, and a Scorpion or two for seasoning. Also, I would mention that Guardians are not for "guarding" if their FF remains at +4, it is for supporting other assaults which they are extremely good at.
Yeah, I usually field a Guardian/Grav-tank heavy Eldar force when I field them, and have just been changing it up a bit for the proposal playtests.
And *laugh* I'm well aware of how good Guardians are as assault/support troops... I just like joking about them being "guards"... since it's in their name. 
Guardians in cover and on overwatch (with Weapon Platforms), guarding an Objective, are a thorny thing to deal with most times.
Again, thanx for the report and I look forward to reading the next one.
Well, I have another game or two scheduled for Thursday, fielding Eldar, but the opposing army is a mystery. (Had an Orks vs Steel Legions game Monday night, 3000 points, but it was purely for fun so no battle logging... Orks 3 to 0, in Turn 3... WAAAGH!)
