I just got an ebay shipment of eldar and I remember seeing a conversion of an older falcon that I liked on the net but cant find it .Anybody know what I am talking about ? Or perhaps you have converted your falcons (another mod) I could look at . Just want to edlerize them a bit. Thanks .

I haven't yet, but I've been thinking about creating a wing module that that old style falcon body can fit into to create a simialr profile to the new ones.

With all the old falcons kicking around out there, I would imagine that this project would be very well received by the community :)

I use old Falcons for all my eldar non-heavy vehicles : Pictures on my blog.

Firestorm is an old Falcon with lascannon cutted and with 2 BFG turrets.
Wave Serpent : cutted lascannon and some bits added to make think about field generators.
Night Spinner : cutted lascannon and 2 Doom Weavers cannons
Fire Prism : no done yet, I shall scratch build a prism cannon and stick it on one side, on the rear.

Here's a couple of simple conversions I did for my brother's Eldar.

A Night Spinner and a Firestorm.

From memory, the Night Spinner guns are plastic Tyrannid parts and the Firestorm guns are 40K Eldar Shuriken catapults.

For Wave Serpents, we simply trimed the main gun off.

Those are nice. The Termagaunt guns fit in better than I would have thought. Gotta see what I have available for that type of thing...

If I try to bring up to date my eldar (all old falcons and 1 guardians) I would probably just use the falcons as waveserpents since they still look sort of similar to the current wave serpents that GW sells.

Those are great ideas. Shame all of my bits are for Warhammer Fantasy, haha.

Santa Cruz Warhammer blog does a Barter Bucket trading post every saturday where people ask for parts and list stuff they have to trade.

Coming in late, but appreciate this as I'm the not so proud owner of a zillion of these plastic Falcons!
