So I'm building a fleet of grav tanks that I plan to be able to make into either Wave Serpents, Falcons or Fire Prisms depending on my list by adding or removing magnetized parts as well as magnetizing WYSIWYG upgrades.

However I have a bunch of bits that I can't identify. I also have the Forgeworld vehicle upgrade pack that I actually can identify so I don't want to accidentally double up the upgrades I choose.

Here is what I got:



So what are the bits on the bottom row and where would I put them?

Thanks!

somebody feel free to correct me, but this is what I remember

A - miscellaneous bit included with the fire prism - looks like a CTM to me
B - spirit stone
C - targeting array from an eldar missile launcher
D - magazine from a scatter laser
E - miscellaneous bit (similar to A but for a falcon, i think)
F - miscellaneous bit (something for the star cannon, i think)
G - miscellaneous bit included with the fire prism

Ahhh, I never thought to look and see if they went on the weapons. Lol!

After looking closer on the sprue, all you have to do is match the letters. Thats what I get for clipping and priming everything before looking at which sprue in the kit the bits came from. I feel stupid now. :p

Thank you for the info on the other things!

Any idea where I would put "G" on the Fire Prism?

F is definitely for the shuri cannon.

G I think you can just plonk it anywhere on the side. Same with A.

A is from the wave serpent kit (at least it was on the sprues for mine).
I think it was meant to represent the "crystal targeting matrix", but I can't confirm it - I know the codex predated the WS model though but the WS could take one in the 3rd ed codex.
I don't think GW ever stated what it was - but I may still have the WS instructions lying around somewhere.
[Confirm: Crystal Targeting matrix.]

B is the plastic "spirit stone" from the Wave serpent kit.
C is the Eldar missile launcher "magazine" (fits on the back of the missile launcher.)
D is the brightlance power cell/pack.
E is from the Shuriken cannon.
F is from the old metal hybrid Fire Prism (and went into an oval divot on the turret that was beside the canopy on the flat part) - part of the targeting system.
I have one of the hybrids sitting in my case as I'm taking my eldar to the club tomorrow.

Edit. Confirmed 'A'.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.
