Editing Warhammer 40,000/5th Edition Tactics/Tau (section)

====Generic HQs====
*'''Generic Ethereal:''' See Aun'Va. A very bad HQ choice. While a bodyguard Fire Warrior team with BS4 SEEMS good, they cost more than a normal team, and generally attract fire, with the large squad hard to hide in cover. And if your ethereal dies thanks to wound allocation, well, prepare for a circus of hilarity.

*'''Generic Battlesuit Commander:''' An excellent unit if kitted out properly. The versatility of the battlesuit chassis means you can equip him however you need to be most effective, and being the commander, all special issue equipment is available to him. See Battlesuits for setup tips. Commanders may take special bodyguards. The Generic Commander may take various suit types.
**'''Generic:''' Same as the XV-8 base battlesuit.
**'''XV-81 (Forgeworld Only):''' Offers the choice of a smart missile system.
**'''XV-84 (Forgeworld Only):''' Offers the choice of a markerlight.
**'''XV-89 (Forgeworld Only):''' Offers the choice of iridium armor. Interestingly enough, this allows you to bypass the special issue iridium armor limit.

*'''Bodyguards:''' These may only be taken by the 1+ Commander each army needs. These have the same options as an upgraded Crisis suit.
