if the majority of your army represents the Alaitoc Craft World the
free card must be the Alaitoc Scout free card.
+AC+ Still the free cards? Why not finally write some _real_ rules to
characterise craftworlds and get rid of these?

movement allowance on the profile represents their maximum move, if
the Warp Spiders charge they will not double movement, but may enter
close combat. If the aspect moves more than 15cm there is a chance
that the stand will become lost in the warp, roll a D6; if you score
a 1 then the stand is destroyed. This aspect also conducts shooting
in a different way to most troops, if a stand has First Fire or
Advance Orders it may fire during the movement phase, if they are
moving, then shots can be worked out at any point during movement;
simply stop the stand, fire and then move the rest of the way. Warp
Spiders are armed with a deadly Death Spinner. These weapons use the
small tear dropped shaped template (stream of corruption template).
Anything more than half underneath the template will be hit on the D6
roll of 3+ and must make an unmodified save or be destroyed. Because
of the Warp Spider’s small size and the way that they disappear and
reappear during their movement they have a 5+ unmodifiable save on
1D6. Snap Fire may not be taken against Warp Spiders. Warp Spiders
cannot be pinned in close combat. The Nurgle stream of corruption is
~ 10 x 5 cm teardrop shaped template.

+AC+ Give them the Fire on the Fly special rule and remove all
descriptions about their way of firing.

become Exarchs. They possess extraordinary armor and powerful relic
weapons. Exarchs have a saving throw of 5+ on a D6, modifiable to 6+
but not below, like Space Marine Terminators. Exarchs are considered
command units and follow all the rules regarding them.

+AC+ Just one thing: these are _not_ Exarchs, but Phoenix Lords.
Exarchs are supposed boosting theri respective Aspect Warrior squads,
not joining together on the battlefield.

galaxy and sometimes merge with other societies to secretly combat
Chaos. To represent the way Scouts can move unseen the Eldar player
is allowed to reposition Eldar Scouts once the opposing armies have
been set up. Before the game begins the Eldar player may move any of
his Scouts once at up charge rate (i.e. double their normal move
distance). This may bring Scouts close to the enemy line - but they
are not allowed to move closer to any enemy troops then 5cm

line of site.
+AC+ Why not remove this paragraph and give them Stealth?
> Eldar Scouts are not bounded by the general targeting rules, and
thus are allowed to shoot at enemy command units even if they are not
the closest targets. To do this, the player must first roll a D6 for
any Scout stand that attempts to target a command unit. On 4+ the
Scouts identify the stand and may shoot at it, otherwise they have to
shoot at some other target.

+AC+ Give them a 6+ fixed save for the Chameleoline Cloaks, drop the
CAF to +1 (they are NOT close combat troops)

+AC+ One thing: why they have -1 TSM? Should be 0 TSM like all other
bikes, they are not so heavy equipped.

+AC+ These should fit more a support role than an assault role. I
suggest lowering the CAF to +1, add a 6+ save and another weapon:
Twin-linked Shuriken Catapult (15cm, 1, 5+, 0). The Shuriken Cannon
should have a 0 TSM.

+AC+ Same as other jetbikes: 0 TSM. Give them an ability named "Laser
Lance" working the same as Howling Banshees to represent their
devastating charge.

+AC+ I'll give that a +4 CAF instead of +2 and at least 2 Shuriken
Catapults (25cm, 2, 5+, 0) mounted in the arms (to match the real
model)

+AC+ These should be Infantry, not walker (they are five a base) so
they can be transported. Why the 6+ fixed save? They are tough as
Space Marines so go with a 5+ save. They are not so strong in close
combat (+2 CAF is better IMHO), but theyr Wraithcannon is deadly: I
suggest to change the stats to (35cm, 1, 4+, -2).
