{{IncompleteIntWik|Destination=Falcon}}<br clear="all">{{IntWik|Destination=FalconElPort}}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 to fierce.{{ElPort}}
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 various other upgrades from the [[Eldar Armoury]]. Unlike the [[Dark Eldar]] vehicles, the Falcon is closed in and does not suffer from being open to the surrounding air. ==Images==[[Image:Falcon Grav Tank.jpg|thumb|rightcenter|300px|A Falcon Grav Tank]]
