Fast Attack
Jetbikes
Pros: Can be a large thorn in the enemy's hide, 30% can have a Shuriken Cannon.
Cons: Very expensive for essentially a Twin-Linked Shuriken Catapult.
Comments: Sort of like Warp Spiders... too expensive for what they do. The only thing i see them doing is finishing off squads nearly wiped out by Aspect squads or wiping out entire squads with the crossfire rule.
Shining Spears
Pros: WS and BS of 4, Strength 5 in CC, Exarch can have an invulnerable save and a bright lance.
Cons: Very expensive unit.
Comments: The points can be well spent elsewhere; although the Exarch can be a very powerful model.
Vyper Squadron
Pros: A cheap heavy weapon platform that can (and should) move 12" a turn; some vehicle upgrades make it difficult to kill.
Cons: Low armour values.
Comments: Great in squadrons of 3; i'd give them all the same armament and concentrate your fire on specific targets.
Swooping Hawks
Pros: Deep Strike capability, grenade pack.
Cons: Strength 3 weapons, no power weapons.
Comments: An exarch with Sustained Assault and a power weapon can rip through a squad quite easily.
