The XV26 Stealth Battlesuits are a 7-9 operative Kill Team of elusive T'au hunters. They're a fast, shooty team with 6" movement and 3+ saves, but only 12-13 wounds. Their Stealth Fields make them invisible beyond 3" when concealed, and Kauyon grants Accurate bonuses based on enemy location. Use Ambush markers and ploys like Patient Hunters to strike from the shadows, then vanish with Ghostshroud or Vectored Retro-Thrusters. Master the ambush!
