Meet the Vespid Stingwings! A 9-operative T'au Empire team that masters the skies with their unique FLY rule. They're fast (Move 6-8) but fragile (Save 5+). Their playstyle revolves around aerial mobility: use FLY to reposition, gain Neutron Charge for Piercing weapons, and leverage Communion points for mission actions. They excel at shooting with neutron weapons (especially after moving) but can pack a punch in melee with buffed claws. Strategy ploys like Aerial Agility make them evasive, while Hardened Exoskeleton adds durability. Perfect for players who love hit-and-run tactics and controlling the battlefield from above!
