Im looking to run a jetbike heavy themed list GJB, vipers and Prisms,
I need some advice on squad size ill have about 18/20 GJBS plus some Shing Spears (yeah I know)
I was leaning to lots of 3 man squads for small footprint and general annoyance value then maybe banding
two or more squads together for actual killing.

3 man squads minimizes the footprint of the squad, allowing hiding easier. Also minimizes enemy target priority. Larger squads get focused more and die faster because of it. 3 3 man jetbike squads w cannons plus a DA squad all in reserve (for objective missions) is pretty standard for me.

Dont bother with vipers, they are just terrible.

Which is such a shame, because Vipers are such cool models! All the Eldar/Dark Eldar AV10 vehicles got the shaft with the 6th ed "glance it to death" rules...

Vypers do suck but I got given some and there painted all pretty like.

I might try some 3 man squads Im looking at five (Squads) in this list, being that this is a pure jetbike / Prism list
Im wondering if they will be good for anything other that objectives and not being too easy to kill.
