Description
Amongst the best-equipped infantry in the Galaxy, Tau Fire Warriors are bristling with suites of complex targeting, communications and strategic mapping systems – even before their weaponry comes into the equation. Their Strike Teams form impressively accurate long-range gun lines, pouring fire into any weak point and sniping targets from a safe distance, while the Breacher Teams clear buildings, bunkers and strongpoints with up close and personal aggression. Both teams are equally respected, capable – and rightfully feared.
This multi-part plastic kit gives you everything you need to build ten Tau Empire Fire Warriors, in their Strike Team configuration. One model may be upgraded to a Shas’ui, and the kit includes two drones, a DS8 tactical support turret, a selection of different shoulder pads and back packs and a choice of weapons – pulse pistols, pulse carbines, EMP and photon grenades! 230 components in total, with ten Citadel 25mm Round bases, one Citadel 40mm Round base and two small flying bases.

PROS:
- Tons of parts for customizing your warriors with lots of gear
- Both male and female heads
- Enough weapons to equip models with Pulse Carbines, Rifles or Blasters!
- 20 total Shoulder Pads included!
CONS:
- Pay close attention the assembly instructions, the majority of weapons arms can only be assembled only one way.
- About $15 increase in price over last kit, which is a nearly 50% increase.
Overall the new kit is a vast improvement on the old version, and will serve the next generations of Tau hobbyists with no issues.
