Powerful super-walkers will tower over the front lines as screen-shaking assaults blister the battlefield in an all-out, over-the-top spectacle worthy of the iconic Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Building on 12 years of explosive gameplay, Dawn of War III combines the epic scale of Dawn of War, with the customization and elite heroes of Dawn of War II. The result is a best-in-class edition giving players the rich strategic experience, stunning visuals, and catastrophic surprises that they’ve come to expect as Relic brings the franchise into the modern era.

With previous instalments released prior to Relic’s acquisition in 2013, Dawn of War III will be a landmark release for Relic: its first main title produced entirely as a SEGA-owned studio. Relic revealed the devastating forces of Space Marines, Eldar, and Orks locked in battle, slipping ever deeper into the darkness of endless war.

Fire Prisms dart across the battlefield armed with a Prism Cannon at the apex and Twin-linked Shuriken Catapults beneath the cockpit. Like most Eldar tech, these grav-tanks are made of the psycho-plastic wraithbone, allowing the pilot to navigate the controls with their mind as well as their body, giving its movements a precision uncharacteristic of most other vehicles.

The quick-moving, hard-hitting Fire Prism makes picking off large crowds of enemies caught in tight spaces is an easy job, and one that is even more effective at punishing frantic retreats. Add to that a range that far exceeds that of other vehicles in the Eldar lineup, and the Fire Prism is a formidable opponent. Although the Fire Prism has a massive firing range, it can’t see far into the distance. Because of this, it’s recommended to scout ahead with other units to give vision to the grav-tank. With this tactic, you can rip apart infantry from a safe distance!

Attributes

• Skimmer unit
• Long range
• Effective against massed infantry
• Initial shot is effective against vehicles

Abilities

Fleet of Foot (Passive): Increased speed and Battle Focus regeneration within the psychic radius of a Webway Gate.

Superheated (Passive): The Fire Prism’s attack superheats the ground around its target which causes a delayed secondary explosion that knocks back and deals massive damage to lightly armoured targets in the area.

Playstyle

The quick-moving, hard-hitting Fire Prism is the dread of tightly-grouped infantry. Picking off large crowds of enemies caught in tight spaces is an easy job, and one that is even more effective when punishing frantic retreats. Add to that a range that far exceeds that of other vehicles in the Eldar lineup, and the Fire Prism is a formidable opponent.

Although it is undeniably powerful, there is always a way to counter it. Attacking a Fire Prism from behind deals bonus damage, making flanking a viable tactic. The mounted Prism Cannon also has a minimum range, so if you get close enough to the grav-tank you can’t actually be hit by it. Units that excel against vehicles - such as Lascannon Devastators - can rip through its defenses. When facing a Fire Prism, it’s important to make sure the right units focus their damage to take it down quickly.

Although the Fire Prism has a massive firing range, it can’t actually see too far into the distance. Because of this, it’s recommended to scout ahead with other units to give vision to the grav-tank. With this tactic, you can rip apart infantry from a safe distance!
