Agreed. Discounts for multiples please!
I would agree, but really I don't think they ever be picked as multiples, even at a bigger discount than 50 an extra.
The Storm serpent is all about mobile gating, and therefore tactical flexibility commands that you use them in singles.
The Void Spinner has 3 BP, so adding figures only adds templates and BMs, and extra templates are ht evast majority of times less effective than the first one, if effective at all (small formations).
Then there are the Cobra and the Scorpion, which with their current stats are not worth taking as singles, and taking multiples only makes matters worse, even at a discount.
Apart for the Storm Serpent, they are all fire support units, and therefore benefit mostly from giving extra activations to the Eldar. The main advantage of having two+ is the resislience it brings to the formation, but as they are not supposed to be close to the front line, that resilience is worth less than the extra activations.
So, the issues that I wished to bring up really had more to do wth the stat line than the point cost. And though bargain multiples would always be nice to have (in theory), will not change much at all in practice.
