Reavers jetbike load out

So this is more of a tactics question then an army list. Planning on adding 4 3man reaver jetbike squadrons to me eldars list (below) and was wonder if a heat lance or blaster would be worth putting in them as well as a caltrop... What do you guys think? They are mainly a harassing unit to keep their army busy while I shoot them to death.

Farseer: Mantle of the Laughing God; The Spirit Stone of Anath'lan; Eldar jetbike 170

i wouldnt get Heat lance or blaster, it will be a waste of points because your Reavers will be jinking alot which will be snap-firing(got this from burning_eye XD

I agree with asdrubel Vect124. Caltrops only, no guns. Spend those points on units that will be hitting on 3s not 6s.

I would agree on larger units, but with 4 units of three, they almost certainly will not be jinking all of them every turn, so I think they could have a place.

I hate to pile on, but I also think Caltrops, no guns.

at what size unit do you start running CC and HL on the reavers?

I would always max out on caltrops at any size from 3 to 12. Caltrops are why you take them in the first place. I would not take guns at any points level other than maybe very small points games (500-750).

For people who take the heat Lance, do you put it on one of the meat shields for the Caltrop bearer, or give one guy both upgrades?

All upgrades go to one guy. I agree with saturating your opponent with targets so the purchase of a heat lance or blaster can still work. Small squads are more easily hidden and are brutally efficient when they hit.
