An entire stratum of Tau society is devoted to engineering and science — the Earth Caste — and it has developed technical wonders that rival even the Eldar. Advanced technology has enabled the Tau to expand their small empire at an extraordinary rate.

Naturally, the Fire Caste has been quick to find battlefield uses for this technological advantage. From their highly mobile Battlesuits to their lethal Pulse weapons, the Tau Fire Warriors are armed with some of the best combat equipment and wargear.

This article shows you a few examples of how you can depict this wargear on your Tau models.
