If somebody brough along the Shadow Spectre or AV Lynx with those stats my reaction would - 'haha, I don't think so'
These units came up a while ago in another thread. After Blacklegion's initial 40k translations, we modified them to something more playable:
Eldar Shadow SpectreType Speed Armour CloseCombat Firefight
Infantry 25cm 5+ 6+ 5+
Weapon Range Firepower Notes
Prism rifles (15cm) Small Arms -
Ghostlight 45cm AT4+ Lance
Notes:
Jumppacks, Invulnerable Save.Formation : Intended to be priced as per standard Aspect Warriors
---Personally I wanted FF6+ because AT weapons rarely grant good FF, but was overridden by popular opinion. Ghost light could drop to 3+ if testing showed them to be underpowered.
Eldar Warp HunterType Speed Armour CloseCombat Firefight
AV 35cm 5+ 6+ 5+
Weapon Range Firepower Notes
twin-linked shuiken catapults (15cm) Small Arms - ignores cover
Warp Hunter D-Cannon 30cm MW4+ TK(1)
Formation of 3 for 225 points?
--- Seems the stats have become less powerful with the book's release, so a reduction in weaponry power & cost could happen.
And the Hornet is in the Saim-Hann army list with:
Eldar HornetType Speed Armour CloseCombat Firefight
LV 40cm 4+ 5+ 6+
Weapon Range Firepower Notes
Twin Pulse Laser 45cm AT3+
Notes:
Scouts, Skimmer.
Formation : 6 Hornets for 250 Points
----Personally I'd suggest 3 Hornets for a lesser price would be far easier to balance
Note that the only resin weapons this model comes with by default in 40k are pulse lasers.
In addition, here are some more playable Lynx stats:
Eldar LynxType Speed Armour CloseCombat Firefight
War Engine 35cm 5+ 6+ 5+
Weapon Range Firepower Notes
Revenant Pulse Laser 45cm 2 x MW3+ Fixed Forward Arc OR
Revenant Sonic Lance 45cm 2BP Disrupt, Ignores Cover, Lance, Fixed Forward Arc
Shuriken Cannon 30cm AP5+ -
Damage Capacity 2. Critical Hit Effect: The Lynx’s gravitic drives implode, sucking nearby troops into an energy maelstrom. The Lynx is destroyed and any model within 5cm of the model suffer one hit on a roll of 6. May have a Pulse Laser or a Sonic Lance, not both.
Notes:
Reinforced Armour, Skimmer.Formation of 3 for ~450 points?
Formation of 1-3 for 150 points each?
