First movement, warp spiders swooping hawks, etc. can move 30 cm and
then charge (or assault move) 45 cm. This is faster than a jet bike
(total of 75cm to 70cm).

Second titans. They are just about as tough as imperial titans, but
they have a 2+ save on ALL hits all the time. Eldar titans will be to
hardest to kill titans in the game. (and for 10 extra points, you can
make it into a warlock)

Third, the psi-factor. They can build units with 5 warlocks in it and a
farseer. This will always give them a +1 in close combat (witch is a
big deal in the new system)

Forth, pop-up attacks, now better than ever. You can move at charge
speed and still pop-up. You can fall back and pop-up (normal movement).
And you can overwatch and pop-up (reroll misses).

Eldar don't have to be cheesy, but you can build a force that is.
