===Eldar Flamer=== [[File:StormGuardianFlamer.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Eldar Flamer]] The lazily named Eldar Flamer is the diet-lite version of the Dragon's Breath Flamer by merit of having lower reach and range than the Aspect-exclusive weapon. As all things Eldar, they are much more advanced than the Imperium's version (Although ''how'' advanced is [[Skub|up to debate]]). They are used by Storm [[Guardian]]s to support their encounters in close-quarters combat, and by Wraithlord constructs as a choice of secondary weapons mounted on their shoulders for assault orientation. As Flamers, they need to have a fuel source. Since conventional Promethium mining is dirty and does not fit to the whole Eldar aesthetics, it is likely that the Craftworld Eldar "cultivate" the fuel for their Flamers. Unlike Warpflamer which probably has Warp-snuff and/or a fiery Tzeentchian Daemon for fuel, the Eldar's choice for their fuel is likely half and half consisting of legitimate (possibly psycho-organic) base of sublime quality mixed with a little dash of psychic mumbo jumbo, either as the other half of the ingredients or a refining process. It might even smell either like soap or pain depending on what kind of Eldar we're talking about. The Dark Eldar does not seem to employ Flamers in their arsenal, likely because being burned alive has such a high mortality rate β and that is a red flag for one of a few factions in this grimdark universe that actually prefers to take prisoners. (It may also be because of possible nerve damage from fire as various IRL burn victims can attest, thus less torture methods work.) Although they do have a Heat Lance, Melta has more of a control compared to the widespread cleansing Flamer. Despite the fluff saying otherwise, these Flamers share very little if no difference at all compared to the Imperial Guardsmen/Space Marine/Sisters of Battle standard-issue Flamers. This is obviously an attempt by GW to streamline the Flamer rule and make a blatantly unbalanced game, well, balanced. <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {|align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=10 |- | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;"| Gallery |- |<gallery class="center"> Eldar_Flamer.PNG|<center>Storm Guardian</center> EldarCorsairFlamer.jpg|<center>Eldar Corsair</center> WarithlordFlamerBit.jpg|<center>Model (Wraithlord)</center> WraithlordFlamer.jpg|<center>Wraithlord</center> </gallery> |} | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;" | Stats |- | {{40k-Ranged-Weapon-Profile-7-8|r7=Template|s7=4|ap7=5|type7=Assault 1|r8=8"|s8=4|type8=Assault D6|abil8=Automatically hits target.}} |} |} |} </center>
