This article is about the Tau weapon. For other uses of Onager, see Onager (disambiguation). |
The Onager Gauntlet is a piece of experimental support equipment developed on Vior'la[3] used by the Tau Empire. First used during the Damocles Crusade to help Crisis Teams against Imperial Guard armored units in extended operations where ammunition was low, Onager Gauntlets allow a Battlesuit to punch a hole through a battle tank, but the casualty rate attempting these feats is extremely high. Of the twelve original Onager gauntlets, only one now remains after having been recovered from Commander Bravestorm's Battlesuit.[1]
An Onager Gauntlet is capable of crushing a Space Marine with one blow.[2]
