	***'''Vault Breachers:''' All Infantry and Jetbike model receive a free Dissonance Breach Charge. If you are playing a game with lots of fortifications, these are your guys. One 6 on three dice turns your S2 AP3 hit into a S9 AP2 smack with the other two dice adding to penetration. Two 6s are auto-penetrating AV14 at AP1 (S2 AP3 with two 6s make it S4 AP1, then you add those two 6s plus your third dice for armor pen. So at the least AV17 is getting glanced.) Rolling no 6's though, well, at least its free and the whole squad gets a try!		***'''Vault Breachers:''' All Infantry and Jetbike model receive a free Dissonance Breach Charge.

	**The drawback is that different Coteries treat each other as Allies of Convenience, so cannot be joined by allied corsair characters or targeted by allied blessings. Which really isn't that bad considering the Command is unaffected by it. If you put your Void Dreamer as a Cotories HQ then yea, you're boned for sharing his powers.		**The drawback is that different Coteries treat each other as Allies of Convenience, so cannot be joined by allied corsair characters or targeted by allied blessings.

	*'''Harlequins:''' Harlequins are great, Harlequins are brilliant at killing everything they touch in close combat, Harlequins are ''expensive''. Especially when you can't put them in a CAD because they [[don't have a HQ]].		*'''Harlequins:''' Harlequins are great, Harlequins are brilliant at killing everything they touch in close combat, Harlequins are ''expensive''.

	**'''Troupe''' A close combat unit that is good for that and nothing else. Reasonably mobile, but Corsair's are faster and with only a 5++ to save them, naked Troupes are fragile. Probably not worth the effort as you can kill stuff just as efficiently with correct application of dakka.		**'''Troupe''' A close combat unit that is good for that and nothing else.

	*'''Corsair Voidstorm Squad:''' An entire squad of Felarchs. They come with Heavy Mesh Armor, two special CCW, and one special firing option for each five models, with options for grenades and jet packs as usual. They have the option for the utterly overpriced Void Harness at 10 points per model. Pay attention to the squad's cost: it can grow quickly if you do not exclude the useless options (choose the venom blade instead the power weapon, avoid the Void Harness...Giving them Power Mauls gets spendy, but lets them threaten light vehicles as well.)		*'''Corsair Voidstorm Squad:''' An entire squad of Felarchs.

	**They can take two dissonance/blast pistols or a power weapon/venomblade + CCW and still keep their lasblaster/catapult/rifle/brace of pistols. Furthermore, one could exchange his lasblaster/catapult/rifle/BoP for a '''flamer'''/shredder/blaster/fusion gun and still keep his two pistols or CCWs.

	**If ~~yoy~~ feel like having an insane alpha strike unit, a 10 man squad of these with two Dissonance pistols a pop can kill anything in the game, and don’t have to sacrifice their flamer if you want the overwatch. Attach a Baron/Prince with a multiphase keygenerator, or bring them in via Deepstrike (Or take a hop through a webway Portal) and Shoot a target 20 Times, Avging 13.3 Str of 8.3, AP 1 shots (If you have a Divination Dreamer, feel free to cast prescience and bring that to ~16 hits at Str ~9.5. Erase ~~termjnator~~ squads with a glance, the only problem is the cost is 350 Points for the unit, before baron, and any armour you feel like giving them.		**If you feel like having an insane alpha strike unit, a 10 man squad of these with two Dissonance pistols a pop can kill anything in the game, and don’t have to sacrifice their flamer if you want the overwatch.

	*'''Malevolent Band:''' Berserking Corsairs who have succumbed to their own vices and can feel She-Who-Thirsts tugging at their souls. Surprisingly unique in that they have two wounds, Feel No Pain, and a pile of USRs (Fearless, Furious Charge, Rage), they're clearly meant for charging headlong at enemy infantry, but cannot take a dedicated transport. Just make sure the rest of your army keeps a safe distance, since their cursed nature translates to a 12" bubble of -1 Leadership for ALL Eldar models. They are extremely fragile, although FnP and the 2nd wound they have only T3 so EVERYTHING will destroy this unit. A good set-up may be a 5-elf squad with two power spears in a venom, a bit more resistent than a foot-squad and very effective with 8 S5 AP3 attacks on charge. But then you are kicking someone out of their venom, said venom won't be deep striking, and probably won't be using its scout move. Furthermore you could take Voidstorms and give all five of them power weapons/venomblades and don't have to bend over backwards making them work.		*'''Malevolent Band:''' Berserking Corsairs who have succumbed to their own vices and can feel She-Who-Thirsts tugging at their souls.
