Looks good; I particularily like that you are fielding reasonable numbers of gaurdians; they are good troops, they just take a bit of getting used to, because they work differently
from most units. For the number of points you have, you might be a bit low on flyers, but it depends on the scenario. I highly recommend some transport for the Aspect Warriors; you
might consider picking up some Wave Serpents to use, as they are excellent transports and offer valuable assistance with their disrupt weapons.

Eldar usually have more than enough AT shots; I would go with the Dreads - they look cooler, and are very well rounded.
