The '''Falcon''' [[Grav Tank -tank]] is a versatile vehicle used by the [[Eldar]] both as a transport and as main battle tank. Its name is a heavy weapons mount. In rough translation of ''Faolchu'', who in Eldar mythology, was the consort of the Great Hawk and 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 This principle of delivering the sword is what is represented in the Falcon Grav Tank's design, delivering troops taking the fight to the front enemy and retrieving them again beleaguered troops if the combat becomes too fierce.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3a}}

==Technical Information==The vehicle, as anti-gravitic generators which give the Falcon its amazing speed and agility are prime examples of the name suggests, is Eldar's technological mastery. Thanks to these powerful devices a grav-vehicle Falcon can achieve speeds of up to 800 kph and subsequently has no form of ground based propulsionsoar to altitudes much higher than the equivalent [[Imperial]] craft, rather relying on its sophisticated anti-gravity technology that allows giving it a form of limited flightcapability.Many The Falcon 's crew of pilot and gunner will themselves be veteran pilots specialize in flying hidden , having learned their craft either on [[Eldar Jetbike]]s or along a similar [[Path]], and take full advantage of these abilities, hiding within the clouds, cloud cover only to dive from the skies swoop down on their pre-selected targets at high speed to deliver death and strike at unsuspecting foesdestruction.¹{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3a}}

It The Falcon's weapon systems can, like be tailored towards fighting in any role. In addition to the standard [[Wave SerpentPulse Laser]], transport Eldar units however not as many may be carried due to the increased demands due to the heavy weapon mounts including gunner's turret can mount a [[Scatter Laser]] or [[Shuriken CannonsCannon]] for mowing down infantry, a [[Starcannon]]to deal with light armour, or a [[Bright LancesLance]], or [[Eldar Missile LaunchersLauncher|Missile Launcher]] for increase anti-tank firepower. [[Twin-linked]][[Shuriken Catapult]]s located beneath the pilot's cockpit can also be switched out for a single Shuriken Cannon, while the craft can be further upgraded with a [[Scatter LasersHolo-field]], [[StarcannonsSpirit Stone]]s, [[twin-linkedStar Engine]] s and [[Shuriken CatapultsVectored Engine]] and s.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3a}} Like all Eldar vehicles the Falcon is constructed from [[Pulse LasersWraithbone]]and other psycho-plastics, lightweight material which is incredibly strong and specially attuned to the Eldar's psychic abilities. This not only allows the vehicle to be controlled with both mind and body, but makes it impossible for other races to duplicate or operate the vehicle.{{Fn|3a}}{{Fn|3b}}

The vehicle's armour crew compartment on the Falcon is, like most Eldar vehicles, light, however this allows it to move around quickly and make located in the most rear of the various other upgrades available vehicle and accessed by a single door. Though capable of carrying up to them. Unlike the six fully-equipped Eldar, such as [[Guardian]]s and [[Dark EldarAspect Warrior]] vehicless, the Falcon it is closed in and does not suffer from being open unable to the surrounding aircarry larger constructs like [[Wraithguard]].{{Fn|2}}
