Take part in this epic battle of dustwalkers and metal birds against sand together with 7 primelings and their legions, delegate the planning to this unnamed genius primeling. ( or not unnamed )

Since now, my child, you will be known as Sekhmet. 

Parun, my child, you and your children are some of greatest killers our kind has produced, are you sure, that diplomacy is what we need to focus on in such desperate times and if it is correct usage of superior genetics and soulweaving you passed through become above other spidrrlings?

Ekbor, you are all, what I ever wanted spiderlings to be, I am proud of you, son

Gather willing militant weavers and primelings with their sentinel legions and head to assist dustwalkers in their military operation, observe if primelings developed as personalities and if their legions grew up to differ between each other in tactics 

Probably 3 tank commanders( might want to take them in emperors armoured fist formation to give them extra cool strategems and fabulous battlecannon with fixed 3 damage) , lots of hvt with mortars and lascannons(sort of most cost effecient dakka you can spam), infantry screen, typical guard stuff. Hydra flak tanks are awesome because they add + 1 to their hit rolls against flying stuff with their 4 autocannons, and eldar nearly always have flying stuff with just right toughness to be vulnerable to 4 autocannons. Wyverns are cheap source of 4 d 6 ignoring line of sight rerolling failed wound rolls shots and they force eldar t 3 infantry to throw too much saves to live.
Tempestus scions are cool response team to whatever problem you want to solve, because there are few problems you cant solve dropping whole suicide squad armed with overcharged plasma guns into it.


 If it is not strictly limited to guard, might want to leave 85 spare points in your roster to use 1 cp strategem REQUEST APPROVED for summoning fitting asassinorum agent into your army during deployment phase. He brought lots of psychic memery? Culexus time! Vindicare with recent index imperial asassins can somewhat reliably kill support characters and he can with some luck kill two characters per turn. Eversor has strategem for fighting twice and thats 16 str 5 ap - 2 attacks with reroll to wound, which sort of guarantee killing enemy character or infantry you want dead. Inquisitor might come in handy for your infantry hordes, because he provides all imperial units around him his leadership value (and he has high leadership), he can cast smite and deny the witch and he is rather cheap hq.
Also primaris psykers( astra telepathica ones, not spess muhreens) are decent support for your army, as they can make squad immune to morale shenengians, give your tanks bonus to their armour saves and make them harder to hit, and + extra deny the witch.

Out of doctrines catachan and cadian one seems most effecient, as they buff your already good stuff the best way. Cadian rerolls of 1 to hit make your shooty army even more shooty, and catachans throwing extra dice on number of shots for random stuff and removing lowest really, no , REALLY IMPROVE your mortars, artillery, tanks and flamers.
Its really preferable not to invest too much in one unit( like knight commander Pask with 3 plasma cannons or baneblade)  because eldar usually have best way of countering such thing with their 9999999 psychic debuffs  on your one big thing and then 23239 psychic buffs dumped on their anti tank troops)
And obvious things like good knowledge of your codex strategems, quite often people forget, that 1 cp grenadiers strategem lets your 20 guardsmen squad become exterminatus grade threat, when every man in squad becomes able to throw grenade.

Get back to the web, work with spiderlings on fixing damage

Turn 5    Death by thousand genestealer cuts
( Turn finished now, but in editing menu you cant highlight stuff with button clicks, so it may be hard to read without rolls and stuff being bold )

ancient rusty hallway
Brother Jim   (3)  vs lizardman in white space suit (6)

You sprint towards frightened lizardman in attempt to wrestle away his gun, but lizard manages dodge you
and shoots you pointblank  with burst from tau pulse blaster piercing your chest armour  and bursting your heart
Luckily, emperor in his infinite wisdom disigned astartes with two hearts.
Lizardman screams in his radio
It is Ikkribiliquotl, I swear by tauva,  our team got surrounded and wiped out by gueronsha, blue-green coloured gueronsha abducted earth caste archeologist, I AM LAST ONE ALIVE, WHERE ARE DAMN REINFORCEMENTS

Genestealer cult (4)  main assault force managed to cut through the unpowered doors with mining lasers

genestealer cult neophytes -1
cult magus - 3
genestealers - 4 
jokaero - 5
brother Auric - 6
Techpriest John - 4
Private Dave - 3
Brother Jeff - 2
________
6 ini  Brother Auric acts first, as THERE IS NO TIME TO BE LOST.
    (2)  Auric  vs (5) cult Magus
You attempt to mentally dominate  foul half human abomination, yet its willpower proves strong enough to resist
________
5 ini   Barry the Jokaero  
 (2) Seems, that technocurse of adeptus mechanicus fried large part of inner machinery of your mug for good.
 (5) You manage to create sort of improvized life support system out of spare drones, at least this room is somewhat safe from coldness of space and vacuum.
  (6) vs (5)  You fire orange beam from your mug, just as cultists cut open the closed doors, but cultists manage to dodge the beam by virtue of their unhuman reaction

 genestealers (5)  Burst out of ventilation ducts and jump at unlucky explorers standing near vents

Brother Jeff ( 1)  suffers  brutally, as one genestealer spits acid at his helmet, he is blinded and helmet starts to melt.
Techpriest John ( 4) manages to keep genestealers away from him, but slicing one of them apart covers his blessed Omnissiahs Axe with corrosive xeno blood
Jokaero (3) manages to turn several genestealers into banana juice, but their overwhelming numbers give one particular specimen opportunity to graze you with his claws
Brother Auric (4) You force push away genestealers lunging at you but feel mental strain, as collective psyche of whole cult pushes on you
Private Dave(6) guns down several genestealers with accurate lasgun bursts, while managing to keep the distance and HOLD THE LINE.

Techpriest John(4) lets Omnissiah guide him with random direction generator, he carves part of the floor Omnissiah points him to until he reaches deep dark shaft, which looks like something of clearly human origin, lack of skulls and imperial symbolism shows, that this shaft might have belonged to ship more ancient then Imperium itself.

Private Dave (3)  tries not to die, he does not die, but one particular genestealer feels your fear of death and  starts running towards your direction.

Cult Magus (6)  enters through sliced doors and lashes at Brother Auric (6) with green lightening bolt, yet he dissipates it.

Brother Jeff (6)Despite being blinded by acid and his helmet melting runs towards closest vent blowing up genestealer hands with brutal high fives, he climbs in and gives such brutal high fiving, that genestealers start running back! ( Sort of assumed, that you would go with A part of your action, because Jokaero already fixed life support, so B is sort of done)

Cult neophytes (1)  Halt their assault to regroup  as some cultists equipped with suicide vests detonated prematurely.
