Although 5th ed took the nerf bat to our precious harlequins and holo-falcons Mech eldar is still a potent list, albeit with some changes.

Pros's
Very, very fast. Perhaps the fastest list in the game considering our skimmers can move 36 in one turn

Lots of fire power. Our tanks such as fire prism's and falcon's can bust out huge amounts of dakka. And lets not forget the passengers in our skimmers. A serpent "housin" some Dire avengers, Fire dragons, or Banshees, can provide a lethal mobile unit.

Survivability. Our vehicles even after 5th ed's nerf are still very survivable, especially wave serpents with force shields or a falcon with a holo-field.

Cons
Expensive. Our vehicles are very expensive sometimes over 200 pts with upgrades. Even our dedicated transports are rather pricey in points and money cost.

Small. Due to vehicles in their own right being so expensive the amount of models will be less. Meaning fighting horse armies will be harder and also meaning one must get the most out of their limited amount of units.

Conclusion
Mech Eldar are still one of the best variant lists around containing lots of fire power and speed although they are still small and fragile at times meaning one must make sure that they are using their falcons or Dire Avenger filled wave serpent to maximum efficiency.

Cheers!
