So, I'm starting a Ynnari Aeldari Army and I'm looking for some tips, where it comes to HQ I know Il use I farseer on jetbike, but I what 2 HQ, the start collecting DE box comes with an archon so I was thinking of using him, but not sure how, definitively give him a clone field and probably a huskblade, but what else is worth it to make him last longer, and how do I give him more movement?

Probably not the correct forum mate. That's not really a rules question.

Sadly, the archon is basically useless as anything other than a WWP taxi, and a fully kitted out archon is a lot weaker in melee than a succubus, who is a lot cheaper too.
If you do really want to take him, a shadowfield, soul trap, and agonizer are the best options, with a haywire grenade if you think he'll ever get near vehicles. He'll be able to mulch through 3+ or weaker but not much else.
As for mobility, stick him with a squad in a raider or venom. As for what squad, either Incubi or grotesques (who are sadly not Ynnari)

don't. I sadly cannot justify taking my beloved pirate captain other than "I like the model and I spent so much dam time on him, so I MUST USE HIM"

I made this out of one of my "start collecting archons"



(Its my Homunculus)

I'm going trough the same thing with my chapter master, only use I have for him is to give him a jumpack and put him on deep strike ttogether with assault marines, and even then his too expensive for that!

I use mine to great effect WWPing him and a court of the archon (consisting of 3 medusae's in a venom) down and raining st4 ap3 death flamers to any opponents squad sorry enough to bunch together. give him a shadowfield and agoniser for added lulz. "you can try to kill my squad of flamers but I'll tank everything with my 2+ invuln and still whop the 3+ armor save out of you in CC

Use him to deepstrike no scatter in Wraithguard...
