The Jetbike host is available to standard Eldar and all Craftworlds and consists of 2 squads of Jet Bikes and 1 of Vypers....15 stands total for 550 points.� I'd say the Ravenwing compares pretty favourably with this.
The Wind Rider Host is a host card specific to the Saim-Hann craftworld ONLY.� Yes, it is a massive bargain.....and this is what it used to cost for ALL ELDAR in the SM2 era.� Saim-Hann in turn are not allowed to take the Tempest Host or Phantom Titans....like Nils said, look at things in context, not just specific sections of armies.�
Ironic really, we get bombarded with "why is this not costed like it was in SM2 days" posts....and now we have one saying "why is this costed like it was in the SM2 days"!

Aha..
The old Wind Rider discussion appears once again... You have to take
into account the entire army list. Not only compare two units from two
different lists. These types of diffrences can be found throughout all
army lists. BTW the Wind Rider host should be a basic Eldar unit and
not, a Saim-Hann special unit.

ok, we are talking about to companies of a codex amy, right?
the normal cost value of 2 land speeder and 1 attack bike detachment is
575 points. if i take the ravenwing, then i pay only 500 points, 75
points less then normal and a get a master of ravenwing. i think this
is great at all.
the normal cost of 2 vyper squads and 3 jetbike squads are 1100 points.
if i take the Saim-Hann Wind Rider Host i pay only 650. 450 !!!! points
less then normal. ok, they have no master of ravenwing, but this stand
in no relation due to other codex advantages.
i think you destroy the points relation between the armies and the
points were made for having 2 armies in balance. you can not reduce the
costs for a company by 40 percent!!!
