Not only have they identical armour values and hull points, but they are both Fast, Open-topped Skimmers with the Night Vision rule.
Most particularly it should be compared with the Ravager, since the two are very similar. This means it is a rival for other units such as Ravagers, Razorwings and the Haemonculi Engines. Gameplaywise it is a Heavy Support option for the Dark Eldar codex, opening it up for allies option for Craftworld Eldar in particular. Lastly, the barrel of its main weapon which replaces the ram is intimidating. Still, it doesn't sacrifice the gorgeous looks all Dark Eldar skimmers have and its personalised sails and side fins are very pretty (I would love for Forgeworld to release those as a separate sprue to add to Raider/Ravager hulls). I'm personally unsure about the oversized gun platform look which a lot of Eldar vehicles seem to get sometimes (Warp Hunter in particular, along with super-heavies like Lynx & Cobra) but the Reaper is the first Dark Eldar vehicle to follow this line and you could say it does so to an extreme. Admittedly this came out while ago, but I have good reason to go back and review this.
