Description
The Spectral Drake was created in response to the Tyrannid threat. Learning from the epic disaster of Iyanden, Akilae technomancers called Bonesingers, designed a new light tank.Fast, sleek, and powerful, this tank was designed specifically to combat the insect-like swarms. Multiple scythe-like blade wings actually allow the craft to slice it's way through entire swarms with razor-sharp edges without even the slightest hint of instability. Added to that the twin catapult mount as well as 4 lasblasters mounted underneath the main wings, and the Drake is an effective counter to most light-armored infantry.
To combat larger Tyrannid bio-morphs, a micro turret mounts a powerful Pulse Laser that can bring even the most determined monster to it's knees.
Like most Akilae exports, the Spectral Drake lacks many of the more advanced systems and technology that the Akilae use themselves, and the tank itself is not present in their forces. Therefore, it is likely the only Spectral Drakes encountered will be used by Craftworlders, and then only ones that have ties to the great Eldar forge-craft.

Still WIP. I can do better. And so I will.

the shadow is to dark which distracts the eye. Having the "plane" be the same color as the background can be also distracting.

Dude, love it. What do you use to make your work? Pencil, ink, and photoshop? I'd love to be able to create a similar effect.

It looks more like a medium tank to me but thatβs probably the large amounts of armament and the detail in it.
Nice art!

Thats amazing, it sure would take me weeks to convert something like that and write up a datasheet for use in apocalypse. May be a house rule game if I recall the rules on making your datasheet.
