For a couple of years now I've been slowly amassing and army of the 'other' eldar factions; corsairs, exodites and harlequins, counting as eldar with deldar allies. I've picked up an Island of Blood box on the cheap, with the plan of adding the skaven to my skaven army, and converting the high elves up to go in my exodites.

My question is: what on earth can I do with the Ellyrian Reavers?

I already have cold ones dragon riders and a bunch of dinosaur themed models in my army, so horses might look a tad odd, and they question of what unit they could count as eludes me totally (the dragon riders form my jetbikes and shining spears).

Any help dakka?

I would leave them out. Also spearmen look odd in a modern gunfight.

Of course spearmen would look odd in a gunfight; I did say I'll be converting them (mainly just using their bodies, as they'll be given guns).

But then, the iconic weapon of the Grey Knights is a halberd, so we're not exactly looking for realism in our post-apocalyptic wargame here.

Lots of 40k warriors use spears - its all good............

Bikes is the obvious one really and I think they would work well for that - scouts would be a fun conversion but the base size is an issue..........

I suppose the reavers could possibly work as warlocks on jetbikes, especially if the horses were painted as magical constructs instead of flesh and blood steeds. I'd have to swap the arms out for ones in psychic power casting poses, but the models already come with (potentially singing) spears.
