W40K : Tau Empire - Commander

The Tau Commanders are swift and deadly, piloting exo-armour of deterrent size and power. Of course, piloting such armour is not enough to make a soldier a Commander - it is the strategic sense and ability to adapt to unpredictable situations that sets the pilot apart. It takes years and years of exemplary service to achieve this prestigious rank; all Tau Commanders have earned their status the hard way. Their XV-85 Enforcer Armour Crisis Battlesuits carry an immensely destructive arsenal - flamethrowers, ion cyclo-eclators and scatter charge launchers are among the optional equipment, supported by electronic countermeasure packages and robust data processing capability.

The XV86 Coldstar Battlesuit variant has lifting surfaces that allow it to fly quickly over the theatre of operations, and to deal with opposing targets with short bursts of induction gunfire. On-board holophoton countermeasures and telemetry sensors provide the Coldstar and the Commander who flies it with a flow of information that would drown an untrained mind - but in this case, it allows the Coldstar Battlesuit to fly over its enemies with a grace that baffles enemy acquisition systems.
