Anti-Grav platforms are really very useful: anti-tank shots are
particularily nice agaist 'Nid's and Imperials. They are a bit on the slow
side, but at 13 points who's complaining? Also, because they count as
infantry, you can put them in falcons etc. For Eldar players who are
disappointed by the percieved decrease in Eldar fp, they are one of the
andtidotes.
