				<title>Two 2k Eldar Bike Lists</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I have two lists that I am looking at running for a tournament later this month.  There are three main lists that I am very worried about, the necron air force, a flying circus variant and an imp guard air force list (off the top of my head 3 squads of three Vendettas, a Vulture and two Thunderbolts).  At the same time I still need to have a some what decent all comers list.  I am curious as to what others may use. I am open to purchasing a Crimson Hunter I would only like to do that as a last resort.  The two lists I have are as follows.<br /> <br /> List 1<br /> Farseer, Jetbike, Runes of Whitnessing, Spear<br /> 135<br /> <br /> Farseer, Jetbike, Runes of Whitnessing, Spear<br /> 135<br /> <br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(56);'>HQ</span> 270<br /> <br /> 5 Fire Dragons<br /> Wave Serpent, Twin-linked Bright Lance, Shuriken Cannon, Holo Fields<br /> 255<br /> <br /> 5 Fire Dragons<br /> Wave Serpent, Twin-linked Bright Lance, Shuriken Cannon, Holo Fields<br /> 255<br /> <br /> Eliet 490<br /> <br /> 6 Jet bikes, 2 cannons<br /> 122<br /> <br /> 6 Jet bikes, 2 cannons<br /> 122<br /> <br /> 6 Jet bikes, 2 cannons<br /> 122<br /> <br /> 3 Jet Bikes<br /> 51<br /> <br /> Troops 417<br /> <br /> 7 Swooping Hawks, Exarch<br /> 106<br /> <br /> 9 Warp Spiders<br /> 171<br /> <br /> Fast Attack 277<br /> <br /> 2 War Walkers, Scatter Lasters, Star Cannon, Holo Fields<br /> 170<br /> <br /> 2 War Walkers, Scatter Lasters, Star Cannon, Holo Fields<br /> 170<br /> <br /> 2 War Walkers, Bright Lances, Holo Fields<br /> 170<br /> <br /> Heavy 510<br /> <br /> 2000<br /> <br /> _________________________________________________________________<br /> XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX<br /> <br /> List 2<br /> Farseer, Jetbike, Runes of Whitnessing, Spear<br /> 135<br /> <br /> Farseer, Jetbike, Runes of Whitnessing, Spear<br /> 135<br /> <br /> 4 Warlocks, Jetbikes, 2 Spears<br /> 220 <br /> <br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(56);'>HQ</span> 470<br /> <br /> 6 Jet Bikes, 2 cannons<br /> 122<br /> <br /> 6 Jet Bikes, 2 cannons<br /> 122<br /> <br /> 6 Jet Bikes, 2 cannons<br /> 122<br /> <br /> 6 Jet Bikes, 2 cannons<br /> 122<br /> <br /> 3 Jet Bikes<br /> 51<br /> <br /> Troops 539<br /> <br /> 6 Swooping Hawks, Exarch, Hawks Talon <br /> 116<br /> <br /> 2 Vypers, Shuriken Cannon, Bright Lance<br /> 140<br /> <br /> 2 Vypers, Shuriken Cannon, Bright Lance<br /> 140<br /> <br /> Fast Attack 396<br /> <br /> Fire Prism, Holo Field, Crystal Targeting Matrix<br /> 165<br /> <br /> Night Spinner, Holo Field, Crystal Targeting Matrix<br /> 155<br /> <br /> 3 War Walkers, Scatter Lasters, Holo Fields<br /> 255<br /> <br /> Heavy 575<br /> <br /> 2000<br /> <br /> The first list the Farseers attach to a bike squad while they throw around as much psychic stuff as possible.  The second list has them split up in different squads generally while the warlocks split up as well.  The warlocks with the Witchblades are the ones with the Farseers.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ The second list looks better because I don't think firedragons are really worth it in the new codex. There is enough other <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(482);'>AT</span> options out there especially with how cheap brightlances are now. <br /> <br /> In the second list, I would drop the night spinner for an equal amount of warp spiders, and also put spears on all 4 warlocks. <br /> <br /> I would also drop the holo fields on the war walkers and exchange a squad of vypers for another fire prism. I think fire prisms are pretty awesome since they each have a str5 ap3 large blast and a <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(123);'>str</span> 9 <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(6);'>ap</span> 1 lance. Its super versatile and a pain to kill.<br /> <br /> It looks like a pretty solid list if you have all the jetbikes to field it. Goodluck out there]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Honestly, I'm starting to think taking Warlocks might actually be worth it, especially for bike squads. You are guaranteed to buff their 5+ jink to a 3+ if you get a power you really don't want, but more importantly, you might roll and attain the ability to buff your 3+ armor save to a 2+. That possibility is invaluable if you think you might be running into a lot of weapons that are <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(6);'>AP</span> 3 and ignore cover... so Helldrakes.<br /> <br /> I'd go with list two. Are you going to put a Warlock in each 6 man bike squad?]]></description>

The Wave Serpents  will hopefully allow me to get close to fliers and be able to get at least one 6 with the Dragons when I put guide on them.  The bright lances as well allow me to take down armor from range, however I have thought of switching them to scatter lasers to fulfill more of an <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(805);'>AA</span> role.  I do not know however if this cripple my ability to deal with <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(9);'>AV</span> 12+. <br /> <br /> <blockquote><div><img src="https://www.dakkadakka.com/s/i/a/e54ab87d1055e0582a522e7b5867bcb5.jpg" height="20" border="0">&nbsp;<a href="/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544401/5917781.page"><b>Helvost wrote:</b></a><br/>In the second list, I would drop the night spinner for an equal amount of warp spiders, and also put spears on all 4 warlocks.</div></blockquote><br /> <br />  I could do this, and it seems a good trade, however will this cause problems when dealing with hordes?<br /> <br /> <blockquote><div><img src="https://www.dakkadakka.com/s/i/a/e54ab87d1055e0582a522e7b5867bcb5.jpg" height="20" border="0">&nbsp;<a href="/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544401/5917781.page"><b>Helvost wrote:</b></a><br/>I would also drop the holo fields on the war walkers and exchange a squad of vypers for another fire prism.

Wile it is a little expensive combined with outflank there is a very good chance that I can get at the very least a 4+ and many times a 3+.  I am also not sold on Fire Prisms as they have only do what I want them to do 1/3 of the time.  It could be in my application but it is a point sink non the less.  Either the are killed right away or on a guided Fire Prism I failed to hit two turns in a row...   I will play test it however and see if two make a big difference in my opinion and application. <br /> <br /> <blockquote><div><img src="https://www.dakkadakka.com/s/i/a/e54ab87d1055e0582a522e7b5867bcb5.jpg" height="20" border="0">&nbsp;<a href="/dakkaforum/posts/preList/544401/5917781.page"><b>Helvost wrote:</b></a><br/>It looks like a pretty solid list if you have all the jetbikes to field it.
