Lynx
,no edit summary
==Technical Information==
While the Lynx lacks the sheer firepower found in a [[Scorpion]] or [[Cobra (Eldar)|Cobra]], 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 [[Titan]]-grade [[Holo-field]] making it near-invisible to Imperial sensors. Its primary weapon is either a [[Pulsar]] for attacking armoured foes or, more rarely, a [[Sonic Lance]] for superior anti-infantry firepower. A secondary mount under the cockpit can carry a [[Bright Lance]], [[Scatter Laser]], [[Shuriken Cannon]] or [[Starcannon]]. 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 to include [[Star Engine]]s and [[Vectored Engines]].{{Fn|1a}}
As with other Eldar vehicles, the Lynx is constructed from a [[Wraithbone]] chassis, which is specially attuned to the natural psychic abilities of the Eldar. 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 [[servitor]]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 [[Imperial Guard]] from unexpected quarters and inflict horrendous casualties.{{Fn|1a}}
