I am trying to think of a list that is balanced, if not competitive, and uses only Eldar Jetbikes and the minimum non-jetbike units to make the list battle-forged. I want to know what tactics would be good.
Obviously you'd need an Eldar CAD, Dark Eldar Allie detachment, and Faolchu's blade formation. Meaning the bare minimum non-bike will be a DE HQ (take your pick) 1 unit of Kabalites and a Voidweaver. Lets bring 2 Venoms to hold the infantry, so that everything is mobile
Another obvious choice is the Windriders. Bring plenty, 4-5 units or 3-5 bikes. I'd mix shuricannons and scatters, but I know most will say all scatters.

So the big question is where the HQs go. I'd want the Autarch (Laser lance & Banshee Mask) to go with the DE Reavers. They benefit each other so well as the Autarch NEEDS Hit & Run and the Reavers no likey Overwatch. But where would the Farseer fit best?
The Shining Spears (with Exarch of course) are best supporting unit for the others, whether for CC or vehicle hunting.

The Skyweavers are difficult to place for me. They come with a Shuricannon, so by default I want them to shoot, but with so many Windriders already, I'll want to upgrade to Haywire blasters. BUUUUTT, I also want those sweet, sweet Zephyr glaives. Really no idea what to do with these guys.

For the farseer, if you still use one, I would put him with a scat unit. Gives him some buffer for wounds, and allows him to stay safe on the sidelines.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/694514/8728558.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/694514/8728558.page GMT All Eldar Jetbike army Tactics (with every kind of bike)
I may try to sqeeze in 2 Farseers to make sure this happens because it would benefit the Reavers as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/694514/8728562.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/694514/8728562.page GMT All Eldar Jetbike army Tactics (with every kind of bike) DE, their HQs can actually take Bikes to keep up.

Because according to the draft FAQ, the Archon cannot give out PE while embarked on a transport.

Although, I agree the Start Collecting formation does offer a better option that an Allied detachment, if only because the Warriors can be upgraded to Trueborn for more fire-power]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/694514/8774617.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/694514/8774617.page GMT
