10 more points will buy you a Hornet or War Walker, both of which are vastly superior.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/605709/7032504.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/605709/7032504.page GMT eldar vipers any good? how do you use them?? apoc. (Or regular but they are better in apoc). Have them go after heavy infantry and MCs. It's a 180 point unit with 18 S6 pseudo rending shots. There are better options but that might make then useful, especially with re rolled wounds in apoc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/605709/7032709.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/605709/7032709.page GMT eldar vipers any good? how do you use them?? SC style.

They are still faster than War Walkers, which I prefer and to which they are most often compared to.
Take a squadron of 2-3, give each of them a BL and try to get shots in the enemy's side armor.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/605709/7032802.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/605709/7032802.page GMT eldar vipers any good? how do you use them??

So you want to shoot a lance at side armor? Why?

How about you just take 1 with a scatterlaser and cannon, and a holo-field.
80 points, 3+ cover on the jink. Fast enough to grab remote objectives, cheap enough to be disposable, and sturdy enough (3+ cover) that you have to sink some real firepower into killing it.
7 shots means you might still get a hit or two when you snap shot.

I don't think that's useful. 3 jetbikes with a shuriken cannon are cheaper, faster, and have objective secured.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/605709/7035072.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/605709/7035072.page GMT Re:eldar vipers any good? how do you use them??
I try to hold them back so that they don't give up First Blood, but after First Blood has been attained, I just use them to harass anything with a good armor save. Since they're fast they're also good at going to sit on unclaimed objectives.

Any shots my enemy is shooting at the Vipers isn't going after my Wave Serpents or War Walkers, so I pretty much count it as a win if they succeed at distracting the enemy. After 7th Edition came out, I've considered switching the Star Cannon for a Scatter Laser so that I can Jink and still hit something with it, plus get twin-linked on the Suriken Cannon.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/605709/7035183.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/605709/7035183.page GMT eldar vipers any good? how do you use them??

Our local eldar always has a squad of them and they are such a PITA when guided.
