Bigtimewizard Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I'm looking at starting a new side project based around windriders, farseer/warlock skyrunners and harlequins. I was thinking something along the lines of a harlequins battalion of a shadowseer and troupe master as the hqs. 3 5 player troupes as the troops, a solitare then around 8 or so skyweavers with haywire cannons, rounded off with 2 voidweavers with haywire and 2 shuriken cannons each. This totals just short of 1200 points. Have I wasted points here, have I been sensible or should I even increase what is in the main battalion? For the craftworld I was thinking siam hann (although this probably depends on if I use scatter lasers or shuriken cannons on the jet bikes). I'm not entierly sure on how to arrange the detachments. At least one farseer skyrunner if not two probably 1 or 2 warlocks on bikes. I was thinking either 2 units of 6 windriders or 3 units of 4, I can't decide on scatter lasers or shriken cannons. Finally depending on exactly how many points left there might be room for a unit of shinning spears. Any comments would be appreciated. :) EDIT biel tan looks interesting with reroll ones with shuriken weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slasher956 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 If going bikes... then you want to look at a Saim Hann Autrach with the relic laser lance and (index) banshee mask, give him a 'body guard' unit of wind riders so he's not the closest unit for targeting purposes. With the Scatter laser / Shuriken Canon debate...Id say go with 3 units of wind riders, A unit of each of scatter lasers, shuriken canons & shruiken cats (the bodyguards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Shining Spears are also a good choice in a Jetbike army. They hit hard and are very durable (by Eldar standards). Run them with the Autarch and they provide a decent bodyguard while benefitting from his aura of rerolls. It is worth considering some Rangers too so you can run a Battalion rather an Outrider detachment. For 180 points you get an extra 4CPs (and Eldar are a stratagem-hungry army) as well as 3 units with ObjSec that can deploy from Reserves on Turn 2 or 3 to snag objectives.
