Seriously, either its Wind rider host in your face 1st turn or Wraith-wall and Strength D cannons all over the place! How can I beat them with Space Marines?

Weight of numbers from formation bonuses, psychic powers, obsec, grav, drop pods, bikes, ultra smurfs or white scars buffs, chapter masters, atsknf, battle brothers, Death Stars, imperial Knights.

Try playing eldar with nids, learn the hard way...

Jokes aside, SM have a huge amount of strong units and rules, build your list to use these strengths. Eldar do not have intercepter so drop pods, outflanking units and fliers can move on the board without fear. Eldar are fast but Marines have atsknf, marines don't budge, play the objected game. As for grav..... Wraiths don't like grav.

ATSKNF doesn't work on Leadership Modifiers, so The Howling Banshee's Washout and the Wraithfighter's Mindshock pods still work.
The Eldar are a glass cannon. They will hit you hard, usually harder than you can. But if they don't keep moving, the marines firepower and superior strength and toughness will boot them back to the web way.

The Eldar are the one of the longest lived races in the galaxy. We do not forget.

I just assumed they got all the toys. If not, ally with Skitarii, I think they are nothing but Haywire or very close to it.

There is a cancer eating at the Imperium. With each decade it advances deeper, leaving drained, dead worlds in its wake. This horror, this abomination, has thought and purpose which functions on an unimaginable, galactic scale and all we can do is try to stop the swarms of bio-engineered monsters it unleashes upon us almost by instinct. We have given the horror a name to salve our fears; we call it the Tyranid race, but if it is aware of us at all it must know us only as Prey.
