The Fire Lords favoured tactic is launching a planetary assault, which begins with incendiary bombardments, and should the defender survive, they only do so to face close-range bombardment and [[promethium]], usually delivered by [[Thunderfire Cannon]]s and [[Land Raider Redeemer]]s. Then, [[Tactical Squad]]s will deploy in [[Drop Pod]]s to bring death to the enemies of the [[Imperium]].{{Fn|2}}

The '''Fire Lords''' are a [[Codex Chapter]] of [[Space Marines]].{{Fn|1a}}
==BackgroundOverview==
The Fire Lords precede assaults with a barrage of incendiary missiles, and hurl themselves at the charred foe before the flames have burnt themselves out.{{Fn|1a}}
The Fire Lords' favoured tactic is launching a planetary assault, which begins with incendiary bombardments, and should the defender survive, they only do so to face close-range bombardment and [[promethium]], usually delivered by [[Thunderfire Cannon]]s and [[Land Raider Redeemer]]s. Then, [[Tactical Squad]]s will deploy in [[Drop Pod]]s to bring death to the enemies of the [[Imperium]].{{Fn|2}} ==History=====Grissen Campaign===
Due to a clerical error in the [[Imperium]]'s labyrinthine bureaucracy, the once-prosperous world of [[Grissen]] had gone unnoticed until a mid-level functionary discovered that the planetary tithes were now some eight thousand years overdue. An [[Imperial Guard]] [[regiment]] was immediately raised to bring the Emperor's law back to Grissen. When the regiment found itself overwhelmed by the sheer ferocity of the fighters planetside, a task force from the Fire Lords Chapter, under the command of [[Jaric Phoros]], joined the fray.{{Fn|1c}}
