Would you let reaver jet bikes be used as guardian jetbikes?

Hay the question is in the tittle thinking of entering a torni but want to have eldar jetbikes would you be happy it I used reavers?

**Rainbow Dash**

they're pretty much the same thing, I'd just trim the spikes

**Blackmoor**

As long as you do not take Dark Eldar allies then there will be no confusion.

**Bloodhorror**

Yeah, don't take Dark Eldar allies with Reavers and then use a different set of Reavers as your Eldar Jetbikes...

Or if you do, trim some spikes on the eldar version, and make sure the eldar version has it's riders in better armor. Perhaps swapping the weapons also wouldn't be amiss in this situation.

**ArbitorIan**

Or paint them up the same as your eldar army

As long as it is clear that they are Eldar and not Dark Eldar jetbikes, no problem here. So, same color scheme guardian jetbike/reaver jetbikes with the same model would be a no.

Reavers use small base and Eldar big bases if I remember right?

Can only think that would be the problem (if you didnt ally DE and Eldar)

The base size is a big deal, but easy to fix. The flying stand for a guardian jet bike is 60mm, so just stick the reavers on a 60mm base instead of a 60mm flying stand. I would also trim some of the spikey bits.

Not a problem as long as it is clear that they are eldar jetbikes by paint, conversion, whatever.

Reavers look a million times cooler than Guardian JB anyways.

Eldar Jetjikes have come with at least 3 different bases in their lifetime, and one of them was the same size as the Reaver Jetbike base so you are fine using those bases.

Yeah, I picked up a bunch of eldar a little while back and all the jetbikes were on hex bases with flight pegs. Crazy.

I plan on doing this, different color bikes for their craftworlds, but with DE allies. I will keep the reavers splinter rifle mounted on the jets and add another then glue them to make them as though they have twin-linked guns to avoid any cry babying.

Is it alright if I leave the DE riders bodies on it too?
