Are the Eldar and Dark Eldar flyers the only anti-air that the Ynnari have, or is there any kind of Anti-Air artillery available to them?

Thanks in advance!

War Walkers with Eldar Missile Launchers can take AA Missiles if I remember right.

They can also take Dark Reapers, who can take AA missiles.

Best options for eldar AA are as follows.

Crimson hunter>Dark Reapers - Exarch takes EML>WW with EML>Gardian warhost with free EML Platforms.

Usually I just roll with dark reapers because they are also really good against a host of ground units too - and aren't too expensive.

Dark Reapers get to ignore Jink the last time I looked. Their guns aren't that strong until you upgrade them to S8 Heavy1, but Farseers help there.

The Crimson Hunter is probably you're best bet for AA from the Eldar stuff. I'm not familiar enough with DEldar to say how their fighter compares.

There are only 2 units (that I can recall right now) from the Eldar list that can get Skyfire: Warwalkers with EML and Dark Reapers. That's it. I suppose you can take an Aegis with the AA gun attachment, but you'll have to go 3rd party/make your own if you want to LOOK Aeldari.

Sadly Eldar AA options are limited to EML units (guardian platforms, War walkers, Wraithlords, Vypers , Falcons or Wave serpents ) and Crimson Hunters.

Then they have a couple of situational units, Dark reapers wich ignore jink and re-roll to hit vs zooming,swooping and Swooping Hawks with their intercept rule.

If not you must go into Fortifications or Forge world models for further upgrades (Firestorm grav tank)

Though keep in mind that the FW models aren't actually allowed in the Ynnari detachment and you'll have to run an allied Craftworld/Corsair detachment to use them.

Just shoot 1 unit of guided/prescienced scattbikes at it, even hitting on 6s most things still have to jink and a jinking flyer is a worthless flyer.

As above.... Guide/Prescienced scatter lasers. Enough shots and you'll get some 6's.
