Eldar Portal

Eldar jetbikes are anti-grav vehicles, commonly armed with a pair of Shuriken Catapults. Eldar jetbikes are wonders of engineering, capable of such great velocity that without the enhanced reaction speed of the Eldar it would be lethal to ride. To many Eldar, the mastery of the Jetbike is an exhilarating challenge and it can take years of practice to master its full potential. In combat, jetbike riders operate as forward scouts and fast-reaction strike forces. A common tactic is for jetbike riders to outflank the enemy limes completely then strike to their rear.^1-p40

The Shrieker Jetbike is a more heavily armed variant, mounting a single Shuriken Cannon instead of twin Shuriken Catapults. Eldar Jetbike Riders are normally armed with an additional Shuriken Pistol, although warriors of the Shining Spears Aspect use a lance designed to deliver a laser blast at an extremely close range.

Aspects

It is unknown how many paths of Aspect Warriors utilise jetbikes across the universe. The only known Aspect is that of the Shining Spears, who embody the spear of Khaine that could kill an enemy instantly; they have high mobility and a strong charge due to their jetbikes. They are, however, rare and not encountered often.^1-p37

Characters

Many war-leaders of the Eldar are also known to utilise jetbikes. Indeed, Farseers, Warlocks and Autarchs often join with squadrons of jetbikers and ride with them into battle. If the Shining Spears Aspect is one that an Autarch has mastered throughout their centuries-long life, it is not unheard of him/her to ride with a squad of them in a similair fashion, as well as utilising the Aspects wargear.^1-p60
