I dont really think they are the same as 40K Tau.
They are missing the heavy hitting of the Pulse rifle.
What about trying this ?
Pulse rifle special rule; 1 attack / range 30" / +1 PEN ( +10 points per man ) not assault !
Then 5 fire-warriors would roll 5 dice, but could pin AFV and have a better chance of killing infantry. ( And out-range enemy infantry.)
100 AP a unit.
5 dice in melee.

Equation......
A HMG with 3 lives and 3 shots costa 70 AP, about 23 AP per man/shot...
23 x 5 =115....but take 15 AP off to reduce the range to 30".....wallah ! 100 AP

OR ...
Say two shots per man !!!
23 AP x 10 = 230 AP - 30 AP to reduce range to 30 " - 50 AP to reduce by 5 lives = 150 AP
Fire Warriors
5 Regular Infantry / pulse rifles (2 shots , range 30", Pen +1 ) 150 AP
so..............Pulse Rifles +20 AP Added (26-Feb-2014, 10:27 AM)
