only the reaper exarch can take flakk missiles, but they do ignore jink at least. so yes you do need the exarch for 2 anti-air missiles, plus additional normal missiles from normal reapers on 6s. fast skimmers dont have to snapfire when jinking, thats flyers. holofields are awesome now, 4+ save as long as you move which you always move. CTM is the most expensive pointless wargear for any vehicle with 1 shot. most of us will be taking holofields. warwalkers – 30pts more for 3 with dual scatter lasers, you gain a 5++ save. how is that not better… Read more »

I don’t believe you have to snap fire if you take your jink save on a vehicle or bike or jetbike only on an aircraft making holo-fields brilliant. Even though I don’t particularly like war walkers they are still quite good. They gained a 5++ save, battle focus and with the scatter laser rule you can make a lance, star cannon twin linked which can really add up. The wraithknight is a nice addition to the Eldar codex, and performs a couple of roles. Not only does it act as a giant fire magnet, absorbing a huge amount of fire… Read more »

In addition to switching about their default weapons, both Wraithlord & Wraithknight allow you to add on a scatter-laser for 20pts – so with BS4 @ 36″ a fantastic chance that all your other weapons become twinlinked. Another 20pts and they’ve also got (twinlinked?) Star-cannons.

Initially as a mobile gun-platform they’re a bit expensive – but 40pts on top and they become truly devastating! Loaded for melee they also do a lot of damage before contact!

Definitely take the Reaper Exarch as he is the only one able to have an EML with Flakk give him fast shot and the cost will be 30 points the same as another reaper.
Then I’d really push the boat out and spend another 5 points so he can enable the whole squad to have night vision.

largely agree again lads apart from corrections mentioned above… part from the wraithknight who i’d mount a couple of star cannons on its shoulders give it the glaive and shield then get it to go full pelt into the enemy just to cause a huge distraction… plus i’d like to see the riptide bring it down before it’s face got caved in with it’s blade with the 5 attacks at str 10 ap2 (ap2 simply for being a monstrous creature) pity it can only fire 2 guns or i’d go sun cannon a starcannon and a scatter laser

I’m going to hold fire on acquiring a Wraithknight. Firstly there’s the cost and I’m not to sure it will be worth it’s points as I have a feeling it won’t last to long in a game, It looks too much like a missile magnet but mainly I’m going to resist because I have far too many toys in the Heavy Support section to play with already.

Hehe tried not to rage when the boys thought that the jink forced the skimmers to snapshot. I’m pretty sure these fellas have played with or against skimmers so should know better. No offence 🙂 Agree mostly with what people have said. War walkers have got really good with battle focus and higher BS. Popping in and out of cover. Reapers have got better with ability to have starshot, and definately exarch is needed for flak and fast shot. Put him on the aegis with las cannon to put out two shots with intercept. Wraith knight is awesome, tough bugger… Read more »

Almost forgot falcon, as I have said before the wave serpent is so much more reliable as a unit transport thanks to serpent shield 2+ and holo fields flat out for 3+ cover.
