From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

A Broadside Battlesuit Team is composed of veteran Tau Fire Warriors who use a modified Crisis Battlesuit known as the Broadside Battlesuit.[1] The standard jetpack is replaced with a massive Twin-linked Railgun system, one of the most powerful weapons used by the Tau. Consisting of one to three warriors, including the team leader, these units are tasked with engaging and destroying heavily armoured targets.[1]

Equipment

In addition to the Railgun, each Broadside suit also has a twin-linked Smart Missile System, and may take one Battlesuit support system. The Smart Missile System can be replaced with twin-linked Plasma Rifles. In addition, the designated team leader is allowed to take a Bonding Knife in addition to any Hard-wired wargear.[Needs Citation]
