The Firestorms are never deployed in great numbers, and only when there are not enough [[Nightwing]]s to provide effective fighter protection or the great threat of enemy air attacks.{{Fn|4}} The Firestorm has more than one aesthetic design as a result of differing consensus between [[Bonesinger]] [[Bonesinger#Design_Schools|Design Schools]]. Both have the same weapons and characteristics, but as dominant schools changed the older designs are seen less often but both are known as Firestorms to [[Imperial Scholar]]s.{{Fn|7}}

[[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|3b}}

{{Trivia}}
*The Firestorm was one of several [[Eldar]] vehicles with more than one model. [[Bonesinger#Design_Schools|Design Schools]] were introduced in [[Epic Swordwind]] (2005) as an in-universe explanation for this difference in Eldar vehicle designs in [[Epic (game system)|Epic]].
