Falcon
From Lexicanum
The Falcon Grav Tank is a versatile vehicle used by the Eldar both as a transport and as a heavy weapons mount. In Eldar mythology, during the War in Heaven Falcon, Consort of the Great Hawk, retrieved the sword Anaris from their god Vaul, thereby enabling Eldanesh to continue his combat with Khaine. The principle of delivering the sword is what is represented in the Falcon Grav Tank, delivering troops to the front and retrieving them again if the combat becomes too fierce.
The vehicle, as the name suggests, is a grav-vehicle and subsequently has no form of ground based propulsion, rather relying on its sophisticated anti-gravity technology to propel it several meters above the ground.
It can, like the Wave Serpent, transport Eldar units however not as many may be carried due to the increased demands due to the heavy weapon mounts including Shuriken Cannons, Bright Lances, Missile Launchers, Scatter Lasers, Starcannons, twin-linked Shuriken Catapults and Pulse Lasers.
The vehicle's armour is, like most Eldar vehicles, light, however this allows it to move around quickly and make the most of the various other upgrades available to them. Unlike the Dark Eldar vehicles, the Falcon is closed in and does not suffer from being open to the surrounding air.
