The [[Fiend Ascendant-class Cruiser|Fiend Ascendant's]] [[Shota|little kid brother.]] The Burning Scale-class Light Cruiser is a general-purpose light aircraft carrier. Nevertheless, of the Launch Bay fielding Drukhari vessels such as [[Razorwing Jetfighter|Razorwing Bombers]], [[Raptor Fighter]]s and [[Slavebringer Assault Boat]]s, the Burning Scale is the least efficient points use for fielding squadrons. The Burning Scale costs 193 points for a single launch bay, while the [[Fiend Ascendant-class Cruiser]] takes 2 for 293 points (146.5 points per) and the [[Iron Thorn-class Battleship]] costs 448 points for 3 bays (just a fraction above 149 points per). Because of this, the expensive cost of Drukhari ships and the general need to go "all in" with carrier fleets, bringing as many launch bays as possible for best effectiveness, the Burning Scale is going to be limited in its usefulness in your typical 1,200 point fleet.

If you really need just the bare minimum carrier force to supplement your fleet's main strategy, a pair of Burning Scales gives you the option of deploying two different squadrons in pairs, though you are doing so at the cost of a third of your fleet point pool.

These Light Cruisers are armed with 1 Launch Bay carrying [[Razorwing Jetfighter|Razorwing Bombers]], [[Raptor Fighter]]s and [[Slavebringer Assault Boat]]s, and 3 [[Scythe Missile Launcher|Scythe Missile Artillery Batteries.]]
