Well, we now have confirmation that there will be new Craftworld Eldar jetbikes at some point in the future:
The Reavers are perhaps the best example of the similarities and differences between Craftworld and Dark Eldar design. The Craftworld jetbike design was looking dated and had been earmarked for a future remake, so it made sense to work on the designs simultaneously. Although the basic layout of the chassis, the carapace, the rider position, the fins and the weapon pod would stay constant, the styling had to reflect the divergence of the two factions from a common root. A common chassis with maquette rider was produced as the first stage.
From todays Whats New (Oct 04) on the GW website. Its nothing we couldn't guess from seeing the plastic Reavers, but still nothing beats having someone from GW come out and say it.
