Something to think about: Night Spinner

I don't think there has been enough talk about the new Eldar tank. I was reading C Swizzy's post about the Night Spinner when this idea struck me...

The Night Spinner brings the Eldar a strong long range tank without need for LOS. Not to mention that it's a fast tank so you can move from cover to cover if the enemy gets too close and shoot them too!!!

Now the part I haven't seen anybody mention: Night Spinners can damage Land Raiders! It's true. S6 with Rending allows for a maximum strength of 15. Now, while it isn't reliable it is something to consider especially if you have three. Imagine the surprise on your opponents face when you pull that little trick. You place your templates right in the middl and they think you're crazy until you roll those rends and you end up penetrating and blowing up their 250 point unit! As improbable as it is, the threat you can pose to any armor makes them worth taking.

Also I'm not too familiar with the Necron Living Metal rule on the monolith but if you can rend that too that just poses another threat to that player. Granted, why are you shooting at the monolith but hey it's your game...

Just something to think about.
