Squat Bikers are fast attack troops with good close combat ability. They speed into battle riding custom choppers and wearing mirror lense eye-wear.
Berserkers
Squat Berserkers are ferocious close combat troops armed with Bolt Pistols and assault weapons. They prevent the enemy from getting too close to ranged formations, and can also be found riding into battle aboard the mighty Squat Land Train.
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.
Protector Class Cruiser
A Tau Protector Class Cruiser has powerful Pin-Point Attacks that can vaporise War Engines in one volley. It also enables Manta and Orca Dropships to arrive on the battlefield via Planetfall.
Pathfinders
Tau Pathfinders scout ahead of the main army, disrupting the enemy and using Markerlights to increase the accuracy of friendly units’ weapons.
Supa-Stompa
The Supa-Stompa is a well armoured machine that carries heavy weaponry that is powerful enough to cut down War Engines at range and in close combat. An Ork player should bear in mind that It does stand out in a Stompa mob, and will likely be a priority target for the enemy.
Orkeosaurus
An Orkeosaurus is a huge beast with massive tusks and a thick hide that will shrug off most incoming fire with ease. Feral Orks further increase its toughness by adding armour plating, and attach numerous guns to create a fearsome fighting platform.
Skorcha
The Ork Skorcha is very effective against infantry at short range, and it is ideally suited to clearing out entrenched positions. With a good turn of speed, it is useful for flanking the enemy.
