rdfs:comment
  • The XV46 Vanguard Void Battlesuit is a newly developed Tau Battlesuit that was designed by Earth Caste mechanics of the Tau Empire out of a need for a specialised Battlesuit to explore Space Hulks. Initially conceived after a Tau expedition into the Space Hulk Mortis Thule in the Canis Salient of the Jericho Reach, these unique Battlesuits have yet to see widespread use amongst the Tau Empire. Their primary function is the exploration of derelict voidships, and whilst the Vanguard Battlesuits are fairly bulky, they are not as large as the more common XV8 Crisis Battlesuits and XV88 Broadside Battlesuits which would struggle to manoeuvre through the restrictive wreckage and cramped corridors of ship interior environs. XV46 Vanguard Void Battlesuits are also comparatively difficult to produc

  • The XV46 Vanguard Void Battlesuit is a newly developed Tau Battlesuit that was designed by Earth Caste mechanics of the Tau Empire out of a need for a specialised Battlesuit to explore Space Hulks. Initially conceived after a Tau expedition into the Space Hulk Mortis Thule in the Canis Salient of the Jericho Reach, these unique Battlesuits have yet to see widespread use amongst the Tau Empire. Their primary function is the exploration of derelict voidships, and whilst the Vanguard Battlesuits are fairly bulky, they are not as large as the more common XV8 Crisis Battlesuits and XV88 Broadside Battlesuits which would struggle to manoeuvre through the restrictive wreckage and cramped corridors of ship interior environs. XV46 Vanguard Void Battlesuits are also comparatively difficult to produce, even for the technologically savvy Tau, because of the advanced and miniaturised technology they incorporate. As a result, few of these Battlesuits currently exist in the Tau Fire Caste's arsenal.
