Who is T’au Commanders?
T’au Empire commanders who value tactical mastery, precise adaptation, and the firepower to turn the tide in any crisis.
Years of relentless training, hard-fought battles, and unwavering loyalty have forged the T’au Commander into more than just a pilot — they are the mind and will behind some of the Empire’s most formidable war machines. Every Commander stands apart for their gift of strategy, able to read the chaos of battle and bend it to the Greater Good.
Whether clad in the adaptable XV85 Enforcer Battlesuit or the swift and elegant XV86 Coldstar, these leaders combine raw firepower with advanced countermeasures and real-time battlefield data that would overwhelm lesser warriors. In the thick of the fight, a Commander’s presence inspires unity, precision, and the unbreakable resolve that holds the T’au Empire together.
Deadly at range and unstoppable in motion, the T’au Commander is the final word in tactical supremacy — proof that true leadership is earned through sacrifice, courage, and mastery of the battlefield.

Details
Swift and deadly, T’au Commanders pilot battlesuits of intimidating size and power. Of course, simply piloting a huge battlesuit doesn’t automatically make a troop into a Commander – more than anything, it’s the strategic nous and ability to adapt to unpredictable situations that stands this pilot out from the others. Many, many years of tireless dedication are required to reach this prestigious rank; every T’au Commander has achieved their status the hard way. Their XV-85 Enforcer Armour Crisis Battlesuits are armed with immensely destructive weapon arrays – flamers, ion blasters and frag projectors are amongst the optional loadouts, with electronic countermeasure suites and huge data-processing capabilities enhancing their battle prowess.
The XV86 Coldstar Battlesuit variant is covered in fins which streamline it, allowing super-fast movement across the theatre of battle, annihilating enemies with sharp shocks from its burst cannon. The on-board holophoton countermeasures and telemetry suites feed the Coldstar and its Commander pilot a massive variety of information that would overwhelm the untrained mind – instead, in this case, it allows the Coldstar Battlesuit to soar over its foes with a grace that enemy targeting systems simply cannot hope to catch.
This multi-part plastic kit gives you everything you need in order to build one T’au Commander, in either an XV-85 Enforcer Armour Crisis Battlesuit or an XV86 Coldstar Battlesuit. There’s an immense number of options available in the box – different heads, engines, leg and arm assemblies – and a ton of weapons! An airburst frag projector, a plasma rifle, a flamer, a fusion blaster, a cyclic ion blaster, a burst cannon (plus upgrade kit) and a missile pod. Included is a drone, which can be assembled as a gun, shield or marker drone.
77 components are included in total, with one Citadel 60mm Round base.
This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
