This unit is so good it’s crazy, especially in the current meta they shred most infantry units with ease with the right support! Glad to see this video!!
Being a new player to 10th,and starting with a combat patrol (now being over 2000 pts) these videos have definitely given me the tactical help iv needed to improve my general game play ! Appreciate the work ! 💪
Shining Spears are pretty good at 100 points. Can steal objectives from very tanky units with their OC, can kill most chaff units with shooting plus melee, are tanky for elves(minus 1 to hit, 4++ after charge or advance, weird wound allocation). They can punch up in melee with 2 damage and lance with 2 and 3 ap on weapons.
Today is the day i learned Autarch skyrunner can't lead shining spears(wtf) . Anyway, liked this video so much, waiting for your take on thematic lists for other Cradtworlds! 😊
I feel the biggest weakness of these guys are 2+ save armour of contempt, which unfortunately is pretty common. Doesn't matter if you ignore cover then, they're still saving on 2s
The autarch sky running needs to give his unit advance and charge, do mortals on charge equivalent to grenades and be able to join shining spears and warlock sky runners
This is funny i main a winrider style list earlia today xD not a good one mind you but could be a laugh Biketarch (wl) Bikeseer 9 cannon windriders 3 prisms 18 shining spears 3 shrouds 1 nightspinner 3 lock bike conclaive
One good thing about Saim Hann from a lore perspective is that it's clan structure opens a lot of thematic space for players. It opens up the possibility of different clans having slightly different approaches to war or even using different interpretations of the basic Saim Hann colour scheme. The other Craftworlds generally have less diverse societies presented in the lore.
Great video. Never really played bike heavy before being an Ulthwé enthusiast but it looks like a fun challenge. Such a shame only Eldrad can cast Doom in this edition. I feel like that would synergise so well with Guide on 9 Windriders with cannons.
I desperately need to make tokens to remind me to re-roll, because I just realized I haven’t been using that ability for the last few games. They were close games, too. I wonder if I could have won them/won more convincingly if I had actually utilized the ability.
My 1k Alaitoc list is heavy on Shroud Runners and War Walkers and a few Rangers, but I also have a fair number of jetbikes. When the codex drops it might well make more sense for me to run it in a "Saim-Hann style" detachment. Maybe even switch out the 3x War Walkers for 2x2 Skyweavers.
Just as a thought, would it be possible to get your thoughts on how to play Eldar in a doubles list? My local meta has a lot of doubles, 1000 points per player, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on how to succeed in that meta
I remember being miffed when spiders were introduced, they practically replaced the hawks. Getting rid fo their mid-flight grenade drop now doesn't help.
I have been running 2 big units of bikes almost every game, and they pay in spades. They shred every unit they shoot at. If you add lethal hits with and vipers to the unit it's ridiculous
Storm guardians with a warlock for quicken gives you a 13” move and 2 fusion gun. So they can keep up as they move through walls etc. not a bad choice but I would consider adding the warlock if you are going Storm Guardians
Never get why people think shroud runners fit a Saim Hann list. Banshees are a better fit to me. People seem to choose whats better on the board rather than what fits the theme

Fantastic channel, would love to see bookmarks in the future. "Unit Strengths", "Unit Weaknesses", etc. Thanks for making this stuff!
I’m so glad to find this channel the day after I bought the combat patrol
I started an aeldari army 3 days ago and bought myself some windriders and a farseer skyrunner.
Just discovered this channel and it's so helpful 😊
@@Swornvulkan welcome to Craftworlds!!
@WBConcilio Thank-you looking forward to playing :)
Love that you take flavor and themes into account

Your content is so valuable for a novice player. Thank you from Scotland.

Bought two squads of these today for those lovely Shuriken cannons. Needed more anti heavy infantry.

Yeah it's dumb
Oh wowee, an hour-long video, can't wait to go down the rabbit hole
I'd love to see some example lists in your videos, keep up the good work!
oh man, an hour long dive into my favorite unit? GRAB THE POPCORN
Been waiting for this one!

Genuinely looking forward to these on the weekends. This video cadence works great for me
Yesssssss just bought my first 9 windriders 😅 great Timing!!!
Love these videos. So glad I found you. Keep it up

Perfect timing…. After I’ve already re-painted all my red models green and black!!!😂
No worries, mine are all black, and there's no problem with being another Craftworld's bike-mounted warhost. 👍

I bet it would have swung it

The warlock gives stealth instead of cover for conceal.

Bikelocks have stealth, not benefit of cover on their ability
Great video btw.☺️
I think the yncarne would be great, not realy saim hann, but would go great with the jumping about the board but with a bit extra punch
I remember being miffed when spiders were introduced, they practically replaced the hawks. Getting rid fo their mid-flight grenade drop now doesn't help.
Spiders have been around since 94. Hawks were still used often. What makes you think spiders just replaced hawks?
Can we please get wraith bikes with d scythes???
T8 4 wounds, 12" move 3 attacks, d6 s10 shots, and a spirit seer wind rider.
Plz can this happen😊
I have been running 2 big units of bikes almost every game, and they pay in spades. They shred every unit they shoot at. If you add lethal hits with and vipers to the unit it's ridiculous
But wait what is windriders base size these days? How do you hide 9 60mm bases?
wind riders base size is 32
Storm guardians with a warlock for quicken gives you a 13” move and 2 fusion gun. So they can keep up as they move through walls etc. not a bad choice but I would consider adding the warlock if you are going Storm Guardians
Great suggestion.
Thats a long one.
Never get why people think shroud runners fit a Saim Hann list. Banshees are a better fit to me. People seem to choose whats better on the board rather than what fits the theme
Well they are on bikes, they can keep up with the speed and style, the can add bonuses to the windriders shooting
