Warlord
Squat Warlords often wade into battle wearing heavy power armour called ‘Exo Armour’. This affords them a re-roll on armour saves, and provides them with formidable close combat ability.
Hero Class Cruiser
A Hero Class Cruiser can provide useful orbital support to a Tau army. It can target enemy War Engines with it’s powerful Pin-point Attacks, and deliver Orcas and Mantas anywhere on the board.
Tiger Shark AX-1-0
The Tiger Shark AX-1-0 is a heavily armed aircraft capable of destroying the mightiest War Engines with its Twin Rail Cannons. It also carries a range of secondary weapons that are able to threaten all types of target.
Tiger Shark
The Tiger Shark is a well armed aircraft that can transport units of Gun Drones and drop them on the battlefield wherever they are needed most.
Manta
The Tau Manta is one of the largest known spaceships capable of atmospheric flight. It employs an impressive array of weaponry that will decimate small War Engines in one volley. It also has a large cargo bay with room enough to transport multiple formations of infantry, plus armoured vehicles.
Piranha
Tau Piranhas are fast skimmers that are used for scouting missions. They are armed with Burst Cannon and Drones for attacking enemy infantry, and Seeker Missiles that provide anti-tank capability.
Hammerhead
Tau Hammerheads are based on the Devilfish chassis, and can mount a number of powerful armaments. Railguns are long range anti-tank weapons, Ion Cannons are more effective at destroying infantry, while Twin Fusion Cannons are shorter ranged weapons that cut through the heaviest armour.
Stealth Battlesuits
Stealth Battlesuits are technologically advanced pieces of equipment incorporating Tau Jet Packs and light-bending disruption fields that conceal them from enemy eyes. Their Silenced Burst Cannons provide an effective anti-infantry capability, and Markerlights help to increase the accuracy of friendly units’ weapons.
Pathfinders
Tau Pathfinders scout ahead of the main army, disrupting the enemy and using Markerlights to increase the accuracy of friendly units’ weapons.
