===''Thermoneutronic Projector''=== [[File:TauFlamerSide.jpg|200px|right|thumb|''Thermoneutronic Projector'' (''Placeholder'')]] The Tau have found their own way of making a flamethrower fit with the over-the-top nature of this universe. The Sept responsible for this Flamer's development is Vior'la, home to the most aggressive Fire Warriors and also Commander Farsight as well – no wonder why they're interested with Flamers enough to make a Signature System out of it. Vior’la weapons developers have focused their efforts heavily on Flamer technology, responding to their Commanders’ desire for maximum-impact close-range ordnance. In the context of the Tau, close range is usually synonymous to suicidal. That is how hot-blooded they are, and also the background behind coming up with the ''Thermoneutronic Projector''. Though the name may suggest that this Flamer uses some kind of elaborate system which somehow turns neutrons into fire, the truth is a bit less elaborate. The ''Thermoneutronic Projector'' uses volatile gases siphoned from the corona of a neutron star to expel a flame capable of searing through the armor plating of a battle tank. The volatile gases themselves are not specifically mentioned, but we can probably say it's better than your average Promethium, which is weird because Neutron stars are ''[[Fist of the North Star|already dead]]'', being the core of a star gone supernova, don't have Coronas anymore, and are slowly cooling down (being ''cold'' for a star); you wouldn't have to go far to harvest these "volatile gases," because most matter in the universe comes from the spent starsplooge. So re-- <span style='color:blue;font-size:115%;font-family:serif'>*Fhwoosh*, NO ONE CARES, gue'la, for Earth Caste Tech [[Awesome#Rule Of Cool|operates far beyond your comprehension.]]</span> Since this is the proof of concept that the Tau is capable of making flamethrowers that can melt armor, it's only a matter of time before the Tau figures out how to mass produce it. Despite how hot this Flamer is, it sure didn't save Vior'la when rabid Khornate Berzerkers slaughtered it whole – so that might count as a major setback for this Flamer here. On the tabletop, the Thermoneutronic Projector is an upgrade to a single flamer, making it S4 AP-2 '''D2''', making it very useful for killing Marines. It also has a dual-function of ''being usable in melee'', giving the bearer D6+2 additional attacks in melee with the same profile. As a prototype non-Relic, a Tau Commander can equip both the Projector and an Onager Gauntlet (which no longer limits you to a single donkey punch), meaning you now have at least one T'au unit (besides Farsight) that is actually dangerous in melee. The only drawback is that even though it is a flamer, you must roll to hit with the Projector, shooting or not. <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {|align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=10 |- | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;" | Stats |- | {{40k-Ranged-Weapon-Profile-8|range=8"|strength=6|ap=-1|damage=2|type=Assault D6|abilities=Automatically hits target.}} |} |} |} </center>
