[[Image:Firestorm model.jpg|thumb|right|Eldar Firestorm]]
The '''Firestorm''' is a rare [[Eldar]] [[grav-tank]] based on the [[Falcon]] 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}}
The Firestorms are never deployed in great numbers, and only when there is not enough [[Nightwing]]s to provide effective fighter protection or the great threat of enemy air attacks.{{Fn|4}}
