Description

The strobing flare of massed pulse fire announces the attack of a Fire Warrior Strike Team. Whether leaping from the hatch of a hovering Devilfish or drawn up in a resolute firing line, the warriors of a Strike Team maintain a constant blizzard of shots that cuts their foes to pieces. Howling pulse rifles, pulse carbines and tactical support turrets lay down a withering carpet of suppressing fire, while EMP grenades kick out shimmering shockwaves of electromagnetic force that leave enemy vehicles as cold, dead husks.
