Yes; I am *that* new to eldar. (aspects)

Recently a few gaming buddies and I rekindled our love for EA and I decided to paint and collect me some Eldar. I already had a good lot and I recently bought 2x units of 8 Swooping Hawks, another 20 assorted aspect warriors plus a few other tidbits like the Vampire Raider and 2 newer-type night spinners (dual turret) which I intend to use as Void Spinners. (never seem those anywhere! :( )

Now started on the first of my Swooping Hawks and I woudl like some pointers how to use them in an effective manner. Or; how not to waste them ofc. ;) And how to incorporate them in a fun army list.

My list when fielding all with paint on it is:

*AVATAR
*Farseer, 7 Guardians, 3 Wraithguard, 3 Support Weapon Platforms, Wraithlords
*Farseer, 7 Guardians, 3 Wraithguard
*Farseer, 7 Guardians (4 wave serpents primed and soon to-be-added)
*Farseer, 7 Guardians
*Autarch, Exarch, 8 Swooping Hawk
*4 Rangers
*6 Warwalkers
*6 Jetbike
*5 Falcons
*3 Night Spinners
*3 Fire Prisms
*3 Nightwing Interceptors

What you you radd and why to make3 this a rounded and fun to play 3K force?
(I really want to be able to field 3K painted asap. Makes prettier pictures!)

When I started playing with Eldar I just used an 8 strong formation teleporting in turn 2, for nasty assaults and close support. Lots of 1's when teleporting though :-\ .

The way I use them now is different: mixed with other aspects in order to cut down the cost on transport.
So if I include 2 SH I save 50 pts of the Wave Serpent, or if I include 4, 100pts. I never go beyond that because I end up with only 1 Wave Serpent carrying important units (nice target).
