Which do you think is the better choice to run with an Eldar army? I like the idea of the Autarch with a reaper launcher running around on a jetbike....Yriel's spear and monocle rock....and the P-Lords are cool, but at the same time, I think they have been nerfed.

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

Reaper launcher and jetbike. Can it move and fire?

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

The reaper launcher is heavy 2. bikes with heavy weapons mounted on them can still fire. (space marine attack bike with heavy bolter or multi melta) a heavy weapon held by a model itself cannot.

Incorrect. Bikes can move and shoot heavy weapons. There is no mention of it needing to be mounted on the bike to do that.

Rapid fire weaponry need to be mounted on the bike the gain the benefit of being stationary though.

Just wondering, can someone give a page number in the rulebook for the bike move and fire heavy weapon rule? Just want to see the rule before I start a conversion...

Can you find the page titled "UNIT TYPE RULES" and subheaded "BIKES"?

I'll give a hint, it's after "CHARACTERS" and before "JETBIKES".

Not to be an ass, but really, it's not hidden.

I think it’s less a case of “I can’t find the rules” and more a case of “I don’t carry a 40k rulebook around with me all the time”…

 

But since I was talking to engine about this earlier and I <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">do[/i] have a 40k book handy…

 

[Jetbikes, Shooting Phase]

<em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">“In addition, rapid fire weapons and heavy weapons may be fired if the unit moved and the jetbike is still allowed to charge into close combat in the same turn.” [/i]

40 v4 rulebook, p54.

 

There doesn’t appear to be anything about characters, etc. breaking these rules in this section or the Characters section; though I might have missed something…

 

Looks like the autarch with reaper launcher on jetbike may fire at will…

There can only be one...

"The last known instance of common sense happened at a GT. A player tried to use the 'common sense' argument vs. Mauleed to justify his turbo-boosted bikes getting a saving throw vs. Psycannons. The player's resulting psychic death scream erased common sense from the minds of 40k players everywhere. " - Ozymandias

Thanks Chris, and yes, it is because I don't have access to the rulebook here in the office.
