[[Image:Firestorm model.jpg|thumb|right|Eldar Firestorm]]
The '''Firestorm''' is a rare [[Eldar]] [[grav-tank]] based on the [[Falcon Grav Tank]] chassis. Designed for anti-aircraft warfare, the Firestorm is employed only in unique cases where Eldar aircraft are not available to achieve air superiority over the enemy, such as the [[Baran War]] where only vehicles Falcon-sized or smaller could fit through the [[wraithgate]]s.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3}}
==Technical Information==
While retaining many of the same features as found in the Falcon, including its transportation capacity, the Firestorm's primary difference is its armament. The [[Firestorm Scatter Lasers]] is a complex array of triple-barreled [[Scatter Laser]]s which are highly accurate and capable of sustained fire. These are ideal for protecting Eldar hosts from enemy aircraft as well as potent anti-infantry weapons useful against hordes of [[Orks]] and [[Tyranids]]. The Firestorm is also armed with [[twin-linked]] [[Shuriken Catapult]]s and/or a [[Shuriken Cannon]], and can be further equipped with [[Vectored Engines]], [[Star Engine]]s, [[Holo-field]]s and [[Spirit Stone]]s.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
