Adding a Warlock to a jetbike squad and this is my first foray into Eldar.

Anyone have any thoughts here?

Destructor.

This should be in the Tactics forum, methinks.

Edit: I read Warlock squad, not Guardian squad.

I disagree with the above. All destructor is is a heavy flamer. If he's with a group of guardians, you need more than just firepower - you need force multiplication. I would take Embolden or Enhance.

Embolden to allow them to re-roll crucial Ld tests (and avoid running 3D6 backward) or Enhance to help them with assaults, if need be.

This should be in 40k Tactics. You Make Da Call is about fundamental rule issues, not discussing what's better.

And, to answer your question: Embolden. Guardian Jetbikes are typically small in number and don't have great leadership, so taking just a few casualties can cause the unit to run away screaming. Give the Warlock Embolden to help keep them on the table.

I think he was asking about adding a Warlock to a squad of Guardian Jetbikes.

In my opinion, Embolden or Destructor. Here's why.
I tend to use my Jetbikes to score/contest last second, generally Turbo-boosting to get there. Due to the cover save TB gives, Conceal is worthless. Additionally, my bikes rarely see CC so Enhance is equally (if not more so) useless.
Destructor gives you a chance to deal some wounds ignoring Cover, and Embolden allows re-rolling failed Ld (which at Ld 8 can be very helpful sometimes).

Edit: Removed comment about being in Tactics, got held up when typing reply, or would have been first...
