Dark Eldar Jetbikes (often referred to as Reavers) are the twisted cousins of the Eldar Jetbikes. Using advanced anti-grav technology, these ultra fast vehicles race ahead of the main force, able to strike at the most vulnerable locations in the enemey's battle line.

Piloted by members of Wych Cults, the bikes themselves are adorned with all manner of spikes, blades and trailing snares. The favored method of attack is in close combat, using the speed of the vehicle to rapidly close on the enemy and to slash with the hull mounted blades as the Reaver swoops past. Riders are highly proficient with this method of attack, able to disembowel and sever limbs with relative ease.

Jetbikes themselves are often of a variable configuration, with the frontal canopy, rear canards and keel blades all able to assume different forms, it is unknown however if this is to aid in combat performance, bike control or merely aesthetics. The standard primary armament is a hull mounted Splinter Rifle on occasion upgraded to a Shredder or a Blaster.
