AX39 Sun Shark Bomber is a T'au flying bomber unit that auto-marks enemies for increased damage and deploys interceptor drones.

Description[]

As the Sun Shark bomber soars into battle, its pulse bomb generator flares to life, the charge glowing brighter and brighter until it sears the eyes like a miniature star. Guided by holosuite targeters, the Sun Shark's pilot grimly holds his course through a hail of enemy flak, waiting to discharge his pulse bomb at the optimum moment. Even as the Sun Shark peels away into the clouds once more, a vast fireball engulfs the enemy below, the blazing flare erasing those who will not embrace the Greater Good.
