Craftworld Saim-Hann is one of the five big Craftworlds. Saim-Hann specialises in jetbikes and about everybody there is part of a Wild Rider family - basically a clan of crazy Eldar jetbikers. They are known for loving it fast and rough. Maybe they watched the Speed Freeks and thought "We can do that too, if not better!" (They too believe that 'Red ones go faster!') Unlike other Craftworlds, they are not particularly big on the typical Eldar Path. Instead they are more outgoing, and enjoy the simple things of life to a higher degree than other Craftworld Eldar. This, however, has earned them a reputation as barbarians among other Craftworlds.

The Craftworld was one of the first to flee the imploding Eldar empire, before Slaanesh feasted on their souls. As such, they care less about the dangers of letting their emotions run wild, and enjoy the thrill of danger. They are bros with some Exodites, in part due to their being less uptight about everything. However, they have been known to come into conflict with other Craftworlds and are distrusted because of this.

They'd be besties with the White Scars, were it not for the fact that both sides consider the other inferior untermenschen.

Tactics

Saim-Hann tactics are all about speed. They usually field large numbers of Guardian jetbikers, as well as Seer Councils on jetbikes and Vyper jetbikes.

Unsurprisingly they have a high concentration of the Swooping Hawks and Shining Spear Aspect Warriors on their Craftworld.

Name

Saim-Hann, like Biel-Tan, is a name created by taking the name of a druidic festival (Samhain, Beltain), and tweaking it a bit. Why Games Workshop did this is unclear, but it may have something to do with the Eldar being Elves in space - and everyone knows elves are hippy nature-worshipping faggots.
