Tau are ready to fight in Battlesector!

The young and technologically-advanced race is the latest playable faction in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. Fourteen new units are available to extend the Greater Good to all the species of the galaxy.

Assault Teams

Pathfinders scout to prepare the battlefield for the Fire Warrior Strike and the Fire Warrior Breacher Teams. Their sophisticated target-painting technology allows them to hit even the most agile of targets. Those Teams are led into war by the Cadre Fireblade, whose presence amongst their ranks inspires them to fight even harder.

Jet-boost Elites

The XV8 Crisis Battlesuit Team is an armored elite who is ready to take down anyone who stands in their path, thanks to their wide range of weapons. Nobody is safe from the sneaky assault of the XV25 Stealth Battlesuits, ready to eliminate the targets with the burst cannon or the fusion blaster.

These tough and well-armed suits boast jet-assisted speed that allows them to cross the battlefield in bounding leaps.

A Battlesuits Army

Advanced targeting systems in the Tau Battlesuits allow them to continue operating ranged weapons effectively, even when engaged in melee combat.

The XV88 Broadside Battlesuit has a high-tech sensor that constantly analyzes enemies on the battlefield, providing the pilot with a myriad of weak spots to exploit.

Enemies dont have the time to react when the XV95 Ghostkeel Battlesuit approaches them with the Camouflage Field activated.

Its almost impossible to take the XV104 Riptide Battlesuit down. Its Shield Generator improves its survivability on the battlefield.

Vehicles made for war

The TX4 Piranha is armed with a Piranha Burst Cannon or a Piranha Fusion, while the Hammerhead Gunship is equipped with a Railgun or Ion Cannon.

These Machines of war are often a double-edged sword powerful when pointed towards your opponent, but dangerous when they themselves are destroyed. Due to the presence of powerful anti-gravitic thrusters and jet engines, this unit is prone to exploding when it has lost all of its health, damaging adjacent units indiscriminately.

A life to the pursuit of the Greater Good

The Ethereal is a member of the fifth caste of the Tau species, forming a ruling elite. The Sense of Stone, giving him a nigh-supernatural resilience, and the Zephyrs Grace, allowing him to swiftly and silently move across the battlefield, make the Ethereal a resilient and inspiring leader.

Strategic and aggressive, the Tau Commander can pilot a hulking heavily armored Enforcer Battlesuit, or a highly maneuverable Coldstar Battlesuit. Equipped with Burst Cannon or High-output Burst Cannon and the Tau Flamer. Tau Commanders are the heroes of the Tau Empire and its most effective leaders. As masters of the strategic arts Tau Commanders direct the forces under their command with great skill, allowing them to inflict maximum damage on the enemy.

Every unit features distinctive, finely crafted models and unique special abilities. In addition, access brand new HQ abilities that benefit the entire faction: Seeker Missile Strike, Manta Strike and Orbital Ion Beam.
