Though the Scorpion is amongst the largest vehicles recorded capable of anti-gravitic movement, its crew numbers are kept to a minimum. The dwindling civilisation of the Eldar means they must rely upon sophisticated technology and the Wraithbone construction of their vehicles, freeing more warriors from crewman duties to fill the ranks of Guardian and Aspect Warriors squads.

abstract	Though the Scorpion is amongst the largest vehicles recorded capable of anti-gravitic movement, its crew numbers are kept to a minimum. The dwindling civilisation of the Eldar means they must rely upon sophisticated technology and the Wraithbone construction of their vehicles, freeing more warriors from crewman duties to fill the ranks of Guardian and Aspect Warriors squads. The Scorpion's hull is unnaturally resilient to damage due to its Wraithbone structure, but its main defence lies in its speed, manoeuvrability and the mysterious powers of its protective Holo-Field, which uses image distortion to protect it from direct hits. A Holo-Field fractures the image of a moving Scorpion, and to the naked eye an active Holo-Field will appear only as a sudden swirl of colours. Imperial gunners report that it is very hard to target a target protected by a Holo-Field with any degree of certainty of knowing if or where a shot will hit. Even the most blessed targeting and tracking devices can be blinded by field's disruptive energies. Scorpions are armed with a twin-linked set of turret-mounted Pulsars, which uses similar technology to that of a Bright Lance but on a far larger scale, and are also armed with a secondary Shuriken Cannon for anti-infantry defence. Each shot from a Pulsar is capable of cutting through the thickest armour, and is easily capable of slicing a Leman Russ Battle Tank clean in two, or destroying a building with a single shot. This fearsome firepower is enhanced by the Scorpion's advanced sensory and targeting equipment. Even whilst flying at high speeds, jinxing and weaving, popping up from cover for only the briefest second, the Scorpion can still lock onto a target and fire with lethal accuracy. The Eldar typically field a Scorpion only to spearhead an all-out large scale attack, especially against well-fortified positions, where its Pulsars are used to engage bunkers and hard points. Alternatively, Scorpions have been deployed as long range support for a fast raiding force, where the Scorpion will use its weapons' range and deadliness to eliminate principle threats from a distance before the main Eldar force moves in.
