The '''Lynx''' is an ancient [[Eldar]] war machine first encountered by [[Imperial]] forces on [[Betalis III]] in 894.[[M41]]. It is larger than the more common [[Falcon]] grav-tanks but smaller than a true [[Engine of Vaul]], though it shares superficial similarities. It is believed that only [[Craftworld]] [[Mymeara]] makes use of this unique vehicle, though whether they intend to share the design, especially with their [[Alaitoc]]ii allies, is a matter of grave importance to the [[Ordo Xenos]].{{Fn|1a}}
The '''==Technical Information==While the Lynx''' is an ancient Eldar heavy tank<sup>1</sup>. The Lynx is larger than lacks the more common sheer firepower found in a [[FalconScorpion]]-based grav tanks, but smaller than the Eldar or [[Engine of VaulCobra]] vehicles such as , it makes up for it in speed and maneuverability and is capable of limited flight. It is crewed by a single pilot who controls the craft from within an encapsulated cockpit, and while heavily armoured it boasts a [[ScorpionTitan]] and -grade [[CobraHolo-field]]smaking it near-invisible to Imperial sensors. The Lynx Its primary weapon is a versatile tank, and can be armed by default with either a [[Pulsar]] and for attacking armoured foes or, more rarely, a [[Shuriken CannonSonic Lance]], but for superior anti-infantry firepower. A secondary mount under the cockpit can be modified to replace the latter with either: carry a [[Scatter LaserBright Lance]], [[StarcannonScatter Laser]], or [[Bright LanceShuriken Cannon]] as its secondary armament, and/or replace the Pulsar with a [[Sonic LanceStarcannon]]. Control of the Lynx's main weaponry is handled by multiple redundant back-up systems, making it much harder for enemy fire to render its armaments ineffective. The Lynx can also be upgraded with to include [[Star Engine|Star Engines]] or s and [[Vectored Engine|Vectored Engines]].<sup>2</sup>{{Fn|1a}}
==Images==As with other Eldar vehicles, the Lynx is constructed from a [[File:Lynxp13Wraithbone]] chassis, which is specially attuned to the natural psychic abilities of the Eldar.jpg|thumb|220px|center|The Lynx with a This makes it impossible for other races to replicate or operate Eldar vehicles, and all attempts by the Ordo Xenos to activate captured and damaged examples have resulted in complet failure and the loss of many test-bed [[Sonic Lanceservitor]] s.{{Fn|1b}} In battle on Betalis III the Lynx was used by the Mymeara Eldar in much the same way those from other Craftworlds use Scorpions, spearheading armoured assaults and supporting other grav-tanks. Flying low and at high speeds, Lynx squadrons would attack the [[ForgeworldImperial Guard]]from unexpected quarters and inflict horrendous casualties.<sup>1</sup>]]{{Fn|1a}}
