XV8 Crisis Battlesuits are a T'au versatile jet pack infantry unit with short range weapons.

Description

Whether leaping into battle from low atmosphere or bounding toward the foe with their jump jets flaring, XV8 Crisis Battlesuits make for a truly inspiring sight. Heroes of the T'au Empire, these elite shas'ui have every high-tech weapon and support system at their disposal as they cut deep into the enemy lines with guns blazing. Salvoes of missiles and plasma fire tear heavy infantry to pieces and vaporise their armoured support. Gouts of superheated flame and whirring volleys of burst cannon fire sweep lesser enemies away like autumn leaves upon a gale.
