Tau XV12 Battue

Still have a ton of these unofficial Tau units built, no wonder they keep popping up in my photostream once in awhile.

These are meant to be experimental models for use in woodlands and jungles. Small and agile, these suits are equipped with unconventional weapons suitable for such tough conditions. What's so unconventional? These are all melee weapons! That's almost unheard of for a Tau battlesuit to be equipped only with melee weapons. That's why XV12 pilots are are said to be the craziest ones, even more crazy than those from Pathfinders or Stealthsuit Teams. Using mainly guerilla tactics, hiding in plain sight, they hunt their prey, silent and deadly.

Drones are quite helpful for such teams as a fire support from a distance. Those you see here are modifications of existing Sniper Drone and Missile Drone, they are much more manoeuvrable and can better hold steady position in the air while targeting or shooting.
