Tau Pathfinders are
the eyes and ears of a Cadre's commander, and coordinate
closely with other formations. Fire Caste doctrine states
that a Cadre in the field should be pulled forward by
its Pathfinders, as opposed to its Pathfinders being
pushed forward by the Cadre. An efficient Pathfinder
Team can help other Fire Warrior Teams operate at peak
efficiency and are highly respected as a consequence.
Pathfinders are the undisputed masters of battlefield
positioning, with limitless patience and a proud determination
to choose the most valuable targets for others to destroy.
Imperial troops who fought in the Damocles Gulf Crusade
described the signature of the barely visible markerlight
beams as the Valkyrie's Mark, because those it chose
were soon numbered amongst the dead.
You may include a Pathfinder
Team in your Tau army as a Fast Attack choice.
One regular Pathfinder in a Team may be upgraded
to a Shas'ui
team leader. Up to three regular Pathfinders
in a Team may be upgraded to carry Rail
Rifles.
