Armoured Interdiction Cadre

T'au Rites of War :: Table of Contents
Codex: T'au Empire, p. 28

When faced with heavy enemy armour that is too much for a Hunter Cadre to deal with, Armoured interdiction cadres filled with Hammerhead and Skyray Gunships are deployed to intercept the enemy armoured units. With the use of their fast moving hover tanks and extreme range, these armoured columns swiftly engage enemy armoured columns quickly hoping to eliminate them before further damage can be done to any other Tau forces nearby.

Restrictions

  • Your army must include at least 2 Hammerhead Gunship units.
  • Your army must include at least 1 Skyray Gunship unit.
  • Your army must include more Vehicle units than Infantry or Battlesuit units.

Benefits

  • You may field Hammerhead Gunships as Elite choices instead of Heavy Support.
  • You may field Piranhas as Troops choices instead of Fast Attack choices.
  • You may select a single Hammerhead Gunship in your army to be your Warlord. That unit may take a Warlord trait. It gains the Character special rule and +1 to its Ballistic Skill (BS), Attacks (A) and Leadership (LD) characteristics. If you do so, you do not require a HQ slot for your army.
