TY7 Devilfish is a T'au skimmer tank unit that can transport infantry.

Description

Skimming swiftly across the battlefield, the TY7 Devilfish glides between smoking wrecks and blazing ruins, boosting over corpse-choked waterways and yawning ravines as it closes on its objective. A resilient and versatile transport, it is the Devilfish that affords the Fire caste the mobility they need to fight war in the T'au way. Formations of Devilfish bear Breacher Teams into the heart of the foe to execute the final stages of the Mont'ka strike. It is Devilfish that rapidly relocate Fire Warriors to new coordinates as part of each grand strategic manoeuvre, or punch through the enemy lines with guns blazing to extract Pathfinder Teams before they can be overwhelmed.
