I played against Eldar at 1500 pts. We had DoW setup and played for 4 objectives. He had a Foot list and no Meltas or BLances. So it was inevitable ;)
I played again at 1500 pts. This time against Eldar without any Armour 
.... luckily for me it wasn't the Footdar army 
So basically by the end of T2 I thought I'd have him tabled by the end of T4. He had only played a few games of 40K but more Fantasy. Anyway, Speeders HFing those puny Eldar and smooshing a Seer Council with the Champion & Crusaders made it seem like it was going to be a whitewash.
It was a whitewash by the end, but to his credit, he showed a plucky spirit and some "quality" armour saving throws.... a lot
With all my units on board, their was little he could do until I got out.
I must say a learnt a few things about Eldar (I have not played against them previously).
Dark Reapers.
You know what I mean.
Oh and I charged Striking Scorpions. It was into cover, but that didn't matter. He just kept on saving and saving, and whittling my bigger squad down. Without the EC to carve them up, my Crusaders made a real hash of it against someone of their calibre.
I also travelled 2 Rhinos side by side and in between terrain. That was why I could only charge one squad at the SS and not two. I jammed myself in and had to move one Rhino out the way so that the other squad could get out.
My oodles of Las cannons still had Jetbikes and Sv3+ Aspect warriors to shoot at, so they did help even without Armour to attack. Jetbikes are actually very annoying with their super-mobility. The LC went someway to counter-acting that.
And I remembered to fire the Rhino's storm bolters this time, but forgot to de-immobilise that one....
