Ok so I've started playing my Dark Eldar regularly but I'm still getting the hang of it. I have 2 currently oustanding questions that I need to clarify BEFORE my game tonight (about 4 hours from now)

1. Reavers. This is how I've been playing them:
Move 12"
During Shooting phase (Or as it is about to begin) Turbo Boost over opposing unit
Assualt phase 3d6 the hell out of there

is this accurate?

2. Raiders I was playing against a friend this weekend and he asked if I had flickerfields on my Raiders, to which I said yes. He says that Flickerfield and Jink now stack so instead of rolling a 5+ save it'a 4+... I hadn't heard this so continued rolling for 5+ but am I wrong...do they stack?

Thanks guys!

This is incorrect. After Turbo-boosting, you cannot take any voluntary actions for the rest of the turn. This would include the non-assault assault move (which is only 2D6")

2. Raiders I was playing against a friend this weekend and he asked if I had flickerfields on my Raiders, to which I said yes. He says that Flickerfield and Jink now stack so instead of rolling a 5+ save it'a 4+... I hadn't heard this so continued rolling for 5+ but am I wrong...do they stack?

Flickerfield is an invulnerable save. Jink is a cover save. Additionally, cover saves do not stack, however, certain rules and wargear can stack (i.e. a unit with camo cloaks, stealth and shrouded would get a +4 to their cover save).

1) you cant TB then do the assault move, that i can see
2) Entirely wrong, as Flickerfields are an invulnerable save, and jink is a cover save. He may be thinking of going flat out which improves the cover save to a 4+

So theoretically I could move twelve and turbo boost up to thirty six afterward then

Yep, move + turbo boost is still fine.

Can I roll a jink save and then an Inv save on a Raider then?

One save only, just like a non-vehicle unit.

Wait....what about people that roll two saves.. their normal and then an inv..is that not right (Cause marines have been giving me hell with that)

No, that's not right. They can have an armor save and then roll Feel No Pain (similar to a save, but not) but not an invul save.

As above. The rulebook clearly tells you you may only take a single save, whichever is the best.

thanks guys

You might have met Blood Angels with Sanguinary Priests or Death Company, or regular marines with an Apothecary? CSM Plague Marines? If that's the case they've rolled Feel No Pain after failing their saves, which is exactly what you can do if you have that special rule.
