The ONLY assault boats of the Tau.

Automated Barge Drones are large hexagonal drones.

These are used primarily by the Demiurg and are basically the assault boats of their fleets. Automated Barge Drones usually house a dozen or so of these stunted NOT-Squats to hammer their way inside an enemy vessel and cause some shenanigans. They only appear in Battlefleet Gothic: Armada.

In Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 1 & 2

In Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, Automated Barge Drones are your typical Assault Boats for the Demiurg. In fact, they are one of the if not, the only assault boats in the entire Tau navy. These make Automated Barge Drones incredibly important assets, especially for the assaultless Tau who would just crumple under melee range. You would honestly expect the Kroots to be the ones with assault boats, but nope! Their Warspheres is only armed with missile launchers despite being 9km wide.
