====War Machines==== *'''Falcon''' - Falcon Grav Tanks are the standard gravtank of the Eldar. Its primary armament is a single powerful pulse cannon and backed up by multiple shuriken cannons allowing it to strike with unparalleled power and frequency. The Falcons weapons boast sufficient power to punch significant holes in most other War Machines, and a rate of fire that proves very effective in anti-infantry actions. *'''Fire Prism''' - Fire Prism Grav Tanks mount a single large laser weapon, known as the Prism Cannon, which uses a massive crystal to focus its energy before delivering a devastating blast. It is used to provide swift-moving, heavy firepower in support of Eldar War Machines. The blast of a Fire Prism’s main cannon is a concentrated burst of energy that detonates in spectacular release of superheated fury. Though an excellent War Machine, devastating against armour and squads, the power required to operate the Fire Prism Cannon precludes the mounting of secondary support weapons, making it relatively vulnerable to close range infantry attacks. *'''Vypers''' - The Eldars are famed for their large variety of anti-gravity vehicles, most prominent of these being Jetbikes and Vypers, both capable of flying at high speeds, thus making them difficult to hit or damage. Vypers accommodate two crew members and are augmented by a sophisticated technology that allows them to move at high speed but sustain a barrage of fire. The second crew member occupies a weapons platform behind the Vyper’s cockpit, from which he commands a deadly shuriken cannon. Highly mobile and boasting lethal weaponry, Vypers can be used to bolster a flagging defence or launch rapid hit-and-run attacks. They should not be used in toe to toe battles with heavy enemy armour. *'''War Walker''' - War Walkers are vehicles of extremely unusual design. They resemble a Wraithlord in that it they are massive and vaguely humanoid, with long but tremendously powerful limbs. The single crewman is protected by a sophisticated energy shield. War Walkers provide the ideal means of moving over steep or broken ground, as their limbs have the agility of a living body. These large, mechanised weapon platforms are deadly against units of the enemy Devastator class and other concentrated ground troops. *'''Wraithlord''' - As a Wraithguard is an artificial body housing a dead warrior’s spirit, so too is the mighty Wraithlord. The Wraithlord’s power on the battlefield, however, is greater than an entire unit of the smaller Wraithguards. The souls of the greatest battle-sung heroes of the craftworld are integrated with these huge war machines, which tower over a man. Laden with destructive weaponry, the Wraithlords stride into battle with the fluidity and ease of a living Eldar. They crush foes with their mighty fists. Their shoulder mounted D-Cannon is the Eldar race’s most devastating weapon. This fearsome monstrosity can all but crush any opposition. Nevertheless, it is best to employ the Wraithlord at the vanguard of a coordinated force, so that it is not endanger of being overwhelmed by the enemy’s sheer numbers.
