Grav-vehicle
Grav-vehicles, also known as Skimmers[3] are a type of vehicle which generates an anti-gravitational field, allowing them to hover a short distance over the ground. In the case of Eldar Grav-vehicles such as the Falcon, some grav-vehicles are capable of full flight.[1][2]

Overview
Grav-tanks are designed to be manoeuvrable but much more heavily armoured than grav-vehicles. The extra weight, however, would slow them down a lot, so many vehicles make use of advanced Force Fields with more moderate armour. Since anti-grav technology is very difficult to create and maintain, only a few races employ them regularly. The Eldar and Tau have mastered the technology and make heavy use of it in their systems. Anti-grav vehicles are used for many different tasks which any other type of Tank would be. These include Armoured Infantry Vehicles, Battle Tanks, Tank Destroyers, Artillery Tanks and Air Defence Tanks.
