I'ts not legal to take both the Jetbike and the Death Jester upgrade. :(
You can't have Exarchs in Guardian units either, they're A.W. only. :((


Now for something different! :)
I played the again yesterday with my Eldar against the twice accursed
Marines (curse them all again). 2500 points a side. First game was
Fog of War. I drew a 8, he drew a 5. I sent his forces on the run right
from
start on. Before the game ended I had killed 20 bikes and Assault troops,
with
him only dammageing one of my flyers!!! How I did it? By using FP and
disrupt
I gave his units so many BM that they could'nt assault. I then cleaned up
with
my Jetbikes.

Next game: Ambush. His Marines were marching and I was ambushing.
He won this game, but the game was much more even this time, compared to
the game two weeks ago when his cheesy army oblitterated mine. This time he

was'nt so cheesy (still a lot of tanks though). I played well, using
tactics I have
learnt over the past weeks (thanks Colen :). Using two det. of Jetbikes
with Vypers
(one was the Supreme Com.) and a det. of Striking Scorpions with support,
I surroundet a det. of biker and speeders and a det. of scouts. After
defeating
them i CC, they could'nt escape and were wiped out compleatly, 'cept for a
single bike unit! That was awesome! He payed ten morale points for that.
>:]

Unfortunetly, he did something similar, sorrounding a small det. of Reapers
and Sup. Platforms with his other bikes. I had two Night Spinners outside
the
building my troops were in, which meant an Assault instead of a FF.
I lost the CC, and my troops ran out of the building to die... The rules
here
are not so good... they were fine in that building, why go outside? Do
anyone
know if troops in buildings like in this example get any advantages over
assaulting troops? (I'ts silly that bikes can drive troops out of
buildings)

Another thing. Hi L.R.'s were'nt so effective this time. On their first
turn
on the board, they did kill six of my tanks and dammaged a Revanant
(there were 10 LR's), but then it stopped. I pounded them with what vas
left,
giving him 6 BM. I then assaulted with my Revanants, breaking the det. Next
turn, they were still running!

Note: If your opponent dos'nt have W.E., then Cobras are a great waste
of points. Scorpions on the other hand, are great against LR's. I can also
recommend including a Wave Serpent or two in all det., 'cept for bikes.
