Yeah, the eldar players actually have to *think* before they use them.
That's why they complained so much about the change ;)

I agree, the combination of super-fast, big nasty first-firing command
units screened by 20 pt I-don't-care-if-they-die crap is a nasty combo.
But just for the record, according to the WD 173 or 175, bikes do not
form normal vehicle squandrons. Threfore, the only mek-boy cards that
can be played on nobz bikes are squig fuel injectors (any vehicle *mob*)
bionic bits (any nobz mob) and the one that gives them the extra attack
dice (also playable on a nobz mob). Since they always form seperate
detatchments, only 5 bikes can be affected with each card. Still, that
is nasty enough.
On the topic of command units, someone posted that the gyrocoptor that
comes with the colossus is not a command unit. I am pretty sure that
this is wrong. I remember going through this controversy with a friend
of mine and finding that it says in the description of the unit and on
the stats chart that it is a command unit.
