Fire Dragons are said to represent the mythical dragons who basically just destroyed EVERYTHING indiscriminately.

They specialize in destroying enemy war machines and fixed fortifications, as well as rooting out heavily-armored infantry and weapon emplacements. In this role each Fire Dragons wields a mighty [[Fusion Gun]], capable of reducing an enemy to a cloud of superheated vapour in a second, or a battle tank into a pile of molten slag. Against targets too tough for even these weapons the Fire Dragons carry Melta Bombs, disc-shaped bombs which can be attached to any surface and detonated on command. However, the short range of their weaponry limits the Fire Dragons' effectiveness, especially when speed and tactical flexibility are needed. It is also the reason Fire Dragon [[Aspect Armour]] is thicker compared to a Dire Avenger's, including many spiny protrusions which make it stiffer and more resilient, so that the wearer can properly close with the enemy and deliver death and destruction upon them. Fire Dragon armor is painted in fiery colors, such as red or orange.

Despite being scary mofo's, they seem to be inconsistent in their fluff. From the aforementioned fiery death machines as mentioned above, to incompetent idiots whose Fusion Guns are [[Fail|so ineffective]] that they [[Wat|couldn't even get through a hastily constructed barricade made from scrap metal and cardboard...]] then again this was written by a [[CS Goto|certain Irish Leper.]]

If they get within 12 inches of anything T8 and below, it's going to blow up within the turn. Dragons are armed with either a fusion gun, which operates like an Imperial meltagun, or a [[Fire Pike|fire pike]], which is basically a long-range fusion gun that does more damage. Their Exarch can also take a [[Dragon's Breath Flamer]] weapon, but only if he wants to lose his only use on the battlefield. They also carry melta bombs to allow them to take out tanks on the charge.

Their Phoenix Lord, [[Fuegan]], is the bestest tank destroyer out there, better even than [[railgun]]s and [[Leman Russ Vanquisher]]s. He's also a beatstick in CC, carrying a burning axe that lets him fight like a monstrous creature, which gets even stronger when he's taken wounds. An often overlooked aspect (pun not intended) of Fire Dragons is that they train in demolition, sabotage, anti-tank warfare (i.e., identifying the weak spots of armored vehicles and fortifications), and siege warfare.

Largely considered unusable for most of 8th edition due to just how much variance comes with their damage output relying entirely on rolling well off a D6, they've gotten tuned up quite a bit and are one of the more reliable ways of killing heavy stuff in the new codex, putting out a minimum of 3 damage, with the possibility of more with their fusion guns. Combine that with the fact they innately reroll 1s to wound against their preferred targets and you've got a squad of elves that can statistically melt a Leman Russ without much difficulty on their own.

They represent Khaine in his aspect as a force of destruction.
