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|1b}}

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}}
===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. [[Firestorm Scatter Lasers]] are a complex array of triple-barreled [[Scatter Laser]]s which combine high accuracy with the capability 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|1a}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3b}}
