TX4 Piranha is a T'au fast skimmer unit with anti-armour weaponry.

Description

Sleek squadrons of TX4 Piranhas race across the battlefield, sweeping wide around the enemy flanks or punching through their midst in lightning-fast strafing runs. These agile craft have countless uses within the T'au military; their speed and heavy firepower allow them to serve in capacities as varied as armoured escort, reconnaissance in force, tank-hunting, flank attackers, supply-line raiding, mobile reserves or even, in extreme circumstances, sudden-strike assassinations.
