Living Ancestor
On the rare occasion a Squat lives beyond his normal lifespan of 300 years, he develops psychic abilities that enable him to provide expert insights to his commanders.
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.
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.
Pathfinders
Tau Pathfinders scout ahead of the main army, disrupting the enemy and using Markerlights to increase the accuracy of friendly units’ weapons.
Ethereal
Ethereals are the spiritual leaders of the Tau. An Ethereal that is present on the battlefield inspires the warriors around him to fight even harder for the greater good.
