Are all of these vehicles on the same chassis, akin to the SM Rhino, Razorback and Predator? I've not found a good side-by-side photo to see the details, but looking at each model, it would appear as though they only differ a little (FP has the bigger turret, WS has those funky "spider legs")

How do those three models differ otherwise? I've not yet played, but am looking into beefing up my Eldar army a bit; could I purchase a Falcon and a FP turret, and use the chassis for either model, depending on my mood and the whims of my Eldar generals? Could I run a falcon as a WS, and not raise too many eyebrows (don't much care for those spider leg things anyway...)?

Thanks in advance

I play...

Sigh.

Who am I kidding? I only paint these days...

The main hull is the same. I believe the Wave Serpent has a slightly extended hull out the back allowing for the higher transport capacity. The other main difference is just the turret, depending on the type of tank. The Fire Prism and the Nightspinner both use the same turret while the WS and Falcon have their own version.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

They all use the same hull.

The wave serpent has a rear hull extension to lengthen the passenger compartment - as well as the spines and a piece that fills the top turret ring and fits the smaller remote turret. It also comes with the shuriken cannon chin weapon (the Falcon only comes with the shuriken catapult version).

The fire Prism/Night spinner has a newer turret, wing extensions with "engine nozzles" and secondary thrusters (vectored and Star Engines) add-ons.

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.
