Background:
Eldar Jetbikes are sleek one-man craft propelled by powerful anti-gravitic motors. Beautifully designed, the Eldar jetbike is a wonder of engineering. It is capable of such velocity that without the prodigious reaction speed of an Eldar it would be more lethal to the rider than his foe.
To an Eldar, the mastery of the jetbike is an exhilarating challenge. Jetbikes have long, curved vanes on either side that allow the rider to execute incredibly sharp turns in mid-air, and the strength of their anti-grav motors can be subtly manipulated to send the jetbikes hurtling into a steep dive or sharp climb. Even for an Eldar it takes years of practice to master a jetbike's potential, bot one who does so builds a rapport with his steed comparable to the horsemasters of Eldar mythology.
Jetbike riders operate as forward scouts and fast-response strike forces, speeding across the battlefield in a brightly-colored blur before unleashing tight fusillades from the hull-mounted shuriken weaponry. A common tactic is for jetbike riders to circumvent enemy lines completely and then close in on their vulnerable rear, taking a fearsome toll before gunning their engines and speeding off again.
Background:
In my opinion, the Eldar Jetbike is the iconic unit for this faction. The design of the model is a classic, its mastery of its battlefield role was untouched for decades, and a well-painted and well-played Jetbike army is a thing of beauty. Every army has that one platonic ideal unit in its list that sums up the entire faction. The go anywhere, do anything, fight anybody all-purpose Tactical Space Marine is probably the iconic unit for the Astartes; rank upon rank of disposable generic Infantrymen is iconic of the Imperial Guard; as is the endless green tide of Ork Boyz for the greenskins... The Eldar Jetbike is the faction's entire mantra of fast, fierce, but fragile rendered in 32mm scale.
