There will be 1 eternal war mission, 1 maelstrom mission, and 1 mission that combines an eternal war and a maelstrom.

Knowing that my warlord will be a farseer on a jetbike, I feel like a few of the eldar warlord traits are either sub-par or basically useless to me. I know I can reroll the trait, but I'd rather not have such good odds of still getting something I can't use. So please let me know if my thoughts on these are right - or totally off.

Traits I like:

Eye on distant events: scouting my atrociously strong units? yes, please.

Fate's Messenger: I'm not going to argue against a 3+/4++ rerolling 1s.

Traits I feel meh about:

Ambush of Blades: I actually do kinda like this one for the option of a brutal "Make sure it dies" phase, but I'm not sure about it in practice, haven't rolled it yet.

Shifting Vector: Situationally good, if I want to deep strike against an opponent

Traits that are "No thanks":

Falcon's swiftness: jetbike can't run.

Incomparable hunter: not planning on having the jetseer join units, but even if I see a need to, this won't do much.

Am I evaluating these correctly or am I just off my rocker? I was debating not rolling on this table at all, and instead rolling on the BRB Strategic table for the eternal war mission, and the Tactical table for the maelstrom and the mixed mission. Thoughts on that idea?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693543/8708750.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693543/8708750.page GMT Eldar Warlord Traits Infiltrate (essentially the same as your scout trait, but a guaranteed 3 units instead of d3)
Reroll reserves and +1 to seize
Night vision (situational, but not terrible)

All solid.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693543/8709513.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693543/8709513.page GMT Eldar Warlord Traits

The main difference between the two scout WL traits is that you cannot scout your vehicles the Strategic table, a very useful trait to have if you have Wraithguard in Wave Serpents... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693543/8714370.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693543/8714370.page GMT Eldar Warlord Traits
It's entirely up to you but there are 6 maelstrom of war missions and all of them use the tactical objectives that the traits affect]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693543/8714727.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693543/8714727.page GMT Eldar Warlord Traits

Strategic is an awesome warlord table, seconded - it's what I usually roll on. A lot of faction-specific ones are pretty lackluster - for example, there's an ork warlord table that gives your warlord +1 str. My warlord is either a warboss with a power klaw who is already str 10, or a non-melee HQ to whom strength is basically useless.

So, yeah, if you're not sure, strategic is usually a good decision. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693543/8714749.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693543/8714749.page GMT Eldar Warlord Traits lol.
