Just wondering how all you experienced Eldar players field Aspect Hosts.  Do you do all one type?  Send a full force of 8 Banshees or 8 Scorpions in Wave Serpents to FSU in assault?  Teleport in 8 Swooping hawks and FF those pesky guard artillery?  Air assault 8 Dark Reapers with their awesome FF?  Or do you give yourself a mixed host to cover all your bases?

The reason I ask is I have an Ulthwe army, but am thinking of playing them as Biel Tan as I think Ulthwe is a little more restricted and specialized than my ability level allows for me to play.  So I figure I'll give the old Biel Tan list a try until I get my bearings.

All opinions appreciated.

Basically there are three ways of fielding Aspect hosts:-
- As a single type of aspects
- two complementary Aspect types
- Three Aspect types, where the other Aspects are used for the Exarchs or the Autarch (Supreme Commander)

See this thread for some details

Thanks mate, I knew I had read something earlier about that, but I'm fairly certain I've slept and drank since then, hence the premature senior moment.

I sometimes have 6 of one (say FF's or CC's) and mix two swooping hawks in; being scouts they can spread out and do nasty thing like ZOC enemy artillery and force them to move :-0!  I usually drop 'em in a vampire with 2 exarchs.
