<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Any experience with Eldar Nightwings?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Any experience with Eldar Nightwings? Pretty much as the title says, what have you experiences been with (or against) this flyer and wouls you rate it.

Since the Ace Combat fever has bit me again since the last time I played against an Ultramarine AirCav I've been looking at these guys.


Please bare in mind any comparisons made should be made outside of any formation based bonuses please


To those not familiar with them:

They are 2 hull point flyers with paper thin armour but also stealth for improved jinking, they are equipped with 2 Bright Lances and 2 Shuriken Cannons all for 15 points less than a Crimson Hunter and they can be taken in Squadrons of 3. As a side note the can be equipped with purchasable holofields at the regular cost.

would you take, and how would you run them?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/681263/8475401.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/681263/8475401.page GMT Any experience with Eldar Nightwings? .

Not yet, but the temptation is to run a crimson death formation with 2 full squadrons of Nightwing flyers accompanied by 6 squads of Windrider guardians just for how it would look on the table


Dont forget to play the Imperial theme music from Star wars while you deploy all these flyers ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/681263/8475444.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/681263/8475444.page GMT Any experience with Eldar Nightwings?

I ran a pair of Nightwings one time and was pretty underwhelmed. They only managed to kill a couple Fire Warriors throughout the entire game and my opponent ignored them so it's not like I was jinking a lot or anything. I think they would have done better against something like a Battle Company because I imagine they'd do well against light vehicles.


Thats kinda surprising, I would have imagined 12 strength 6 shots with pseudo rending and 4 bright lance shots a turn would have had more on an impact (especially against t4 battlesuits)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/681263/8475514.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/681263/8475514.page GMT Any experience with Eldar Nightwings? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/681263/8477616.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/681263/8477616.page GMT Any experience with Eldar Nightwings?
Loved it! Vector dancer plus the weapon payload meant I killed any light vehicle, flyer or small squad I pointed it at. Combined with the option for 2++ jink, my opponents never bothered to shoot at it and potentially see the shots wasted!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/681263/8477701.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/681263/8477701.page GMT
