The Fire Warrior is the backbone of Tau military force, the Fire Caste. They are soldiers outfitted with a wide variety of advanced technology. Their main firearm is the Pulse Rifle, although they do sometimes use Pulse Carbines. As basic infantry, they are deployed in smaller numbers than other race's infantry because of the superior firepower they can bring to bear. Fire warriors are known to be efficient, professional, but cautious fighters. Often deployed from a Devilfish APC, they are able to rapidly deploy and way down withering barrages of fire against their foes.2
The basic team is made up of 6 Fire Warriors, though it can be increased 12 Fire Warriors, including a Shas'ui team leader, and 2 Gun Drones or Shield Drones. The team carries Pulse Rifles but may exchange these for Pulse Carbines, and the Shas'ui may be equipped with a Markerlight. The team may also carry Photon or EMP Grenades, and are typically mounted in a Devilfish transport. Tau military doctrine does not allow for organic, integrated heavy weapons, so Fire Warrior teams are reliant on other units for heavy support, typically in the form of Seeker Missiles.2
