Vypers: How to use them?

[TheKingElessar]

Yes and no...I agree that Dakka-Vypers are the best kind, although EML is second.

If they weren't so horribly expensive they'd be nice - frankly they should cost like an Ork Trukk, with a freaking gun attached.

I have had mixed results, mostly poor with the current rules for Vypers. Most people know that they are a poor choice, and will not waste their time on destroying them. I use them for a distraction unit, and for some backfield support. Keep them out of range, and keep the fire up. A lot of battles, people don't worry about them, to their dismay.
Patience, next codex I bet they rock!

Agreed, they're due for a price drop - since they've cost virtually exactly the same points since 2nd Edition!!!

The Mighty Fritz has thought long and hard about jetbike and Vyper tactics. You should check out his blog.
