Falcons

The Falcon is the main battle tank of the Craftworld Aeldari, a fast, mobile and well-protected grav-tank carrying excellent anti-armour and anti-infantry firepower. In addition to the Falcon’s considerable assets, it can also transport a small squad of Aspect Warriors or Aeldari Guardians into battle, and its split wing design and single seat turret are a familiar sight to those enemy tank crews that face the Aeldari on the battlefield. According to the Aeldari species’ long and complex mythical creation-story known as the War in Heaven, it was Faolchú, consort of the Great Hawk, the messenger of the Aeldari gods, who stole the smith god Vaul’s mighty sword Anaris, one of the Swords of Vaul, and gave it to the Aeldari hero Eldanesh so he might defeat the Aeldari war god Khaela Mensha Khaine.
