Got Jetbikes?

[Sybrite]

physical inventory of my small jetbike collection.
got up today and was like, 'man how many flight bases am I missing?'

suprisingly not that many. 1 autarch, 2 warlock, & 1 shrieker (aka guardian JB w/Shuriken cannon)... also noticed I'm missing a stand for one of my wave serpents since I decided to pull out the vypers for the picture.

I figured I had lost a few over the years but actually I'm on point for just how many stands I originally made for this army. initially I didn't make stands for the shining spears so other units are short now.

so woot to me. not gonna be an all-day project to make some more magnetic flight bases

Thats alot of Jetbikey goodness! Have you ever used all of them in one game?

Oooh, nice. An Eldar army. Not seen one of those in a while, even my own! Got to love the massed bike army though, there's something really uber cool about them. How many points is that?

[Sybrite]

points? top to bottom
@ 210 - 225 for the vypers (usually shuriken cannon and scatter laser or shuriken cannon & EML)
140 on the 1st (blue)Autarch (jetbike, mandiblaters, fusion gun, laser lance)
125 for the 2nd (purple) autarch (jetbike, reaper launcher)
252 for the shining spears (kitchen sink)
175 on the Farseer (jetbike, spiritstones, RoWard, Doom & Fortune)
280 for the 8 warlocks (jetbikes, 6x destructors, Embolden & enhance; sometimes throw a couple singing spears in there)

834 = 3x 278 for each gaurdian jetbike squad (9 guardian jetbikes, 3x shuriken cannons; +1 warlock, jetbike, & embolden)

2016 for just what's in the picture; thought I rarely take the autarchs or shining spears, so when I round out a 2K list those points usually go for a pair of fire prisms and some Fragons in serpent)

Bet you're over the pond in Americaland, right? Because I reckon you could easily shave that down to 2000, in which case some full on bike-on-bike action would be just awesomesauce.

Darnit. Would be an awesome matchup though.

Yup, you got jet bikes alright. They are much prettier than mine, which unfortunately all have jagged helicopter blades and insane pilots who think "being effective" means flying over the enemy, screaming, and raining down great clouds of bricks and feces that they pack into giant bags for the purpose. Seriously though, I do like the colours you chose for your bikes and some bike versus bike battles do sound like fun.
