Tau Empire: Pathfinder Team

Acting as the elite sensory vanguard of the Fire Caste, Pathfinder Teams serve as the Commander's indispensable eyes and ears, possessing a tactical intuition that transcends the capabilities of any drone. Their primary mandate eschews direct engagement in favor of high-stakes infiltration; they haunt the periphery of the frontline, operating in the lethal shadow of the foe to gather the vital intelligence and precision telemetry required to guide the T'au Empire’s hammer blow.

There are 10 Pathfinders in this kit, and they can be built in a variety of ways – there are different leg options, for kneeling, crouching or standing, as well as different head options. They sport lighter recon armour, which covers their torso, shoulders, knees and elbows, and they wear the similar long, elegant helmets to Fire Warriors. They can carry a selection of weapons including pulse carbines, rail rifles, and ion rifles. The kit includes an enormous Recon Drone, which can be mounted on a Devilfish tank (not included), and which comes armed with a burst cannon. The box set also features a Pulse Accelerator Drone, with a four-pronged device underneath the circular disc, and the Grav-inhibitor Drone that features an orb underneath.

This multi-part plastic kit contains 137 components with which to make 10 T'au Pathfinders, a Pulse Accelerator Drone, a Grav-inhibitor Drone and a Recon Drone.
