Post subject: Eldar Tactica
I thought after reading the 5th edition thread where army composition was being discussed that we should start some tactics threads here.

with the new rules for capturing and holding objectives, the Eldar certainly took a hit.  Since they have vehicle troop choices (jetbikes) that could previously dodge in and out of cover until turn 6 then capture objectives.  I think now we will be seeing more dedicated transport vehicles and Rangers, with their pathfinder ability.
However, imho, Wraithlords and Warwalkers will be excellent HS choices now that they can run.

Jetbikes, Cavalry, and Bikes are not vehicles.  A vehicle is a model that has an Armor Value.

Guardian Jetbikes are valid troops choices for holding an objective.  They just aren't a very good troops choice to begin with.

One thing that improves for the Eldar is the War Walkers.

Now you can place a squad of three in a tree line, and have a Far seerer casting guide on them to re-roll failed cover saves.  

I also think Thafner89 was referring to Vypers losing the ability to hide until turn 6, then jump to an objective.
