===T'au Empire===

The T'au bring a mixture of technological advantages and some big fracking guns to the skies of the 41st millennium. Their roster varies from the tiny remora drone to the titan killing Tiger-shark.

'''Aircraft'''

*Barracuda- A family of fighters, each with a different primary gun. On top of the upgrades that any plane can take, the barracuda can also can take either cyclic ion blaster drones, or long barrelled burst cannon drones. The ion blaster puts out more dice at closer range, and is more likely to damage, whilst the burst cannon excels at medium range. Its a choice between optimising for medium range, or covering your short range weak spot.
**The AX-5-2 carries a swiftstrike railgun, which when it hits is going to hurt, wounding on a 2+ and doing extra damage on a 6. Problem is, at its optimal medium range its only putting out two dice. The railgun is the most points efficient, but is let down by its inability to fire at short range.
**The AX-5-3 is a whopping 4 points extra on the standard craft. For it, you replace the railgun for a giant burst cannon that puts out 6 dice at medium range. The only catch is it only wounds on a 5+, and doesn't do extra damage.
**The AX-5-4 only costs 1 point over the standard, and for it you replace the railgun for an Ion cannon. At short and medium ranges it puts out 1 extra shot over the railgun, but only wounds on a 4+.

*Tiger Shark- The T'au big boy fighter bomber. With 5 structure, its an ideal recipient for the armoured cockpit upgrade. Again, this is a family of planes, each with its own primary weapons. Compared to the Barracuda, its slower but much more tanky. If you can afford these, you'll want these to act as heavy fighters. They can also be equipped with the same drones as the barracuda, so see them.
**The AX-1-0-2 is the standard model, featuring a pair of railguns. They're similar to the Barracuda versions but with 1 extra shot at long and medium ranges. Good if you're short for points
**The AX-1-0-3 costs a FUCKHUGE 8 points more than the standard. For that, you'll get a twin heavy burst cannon, which will shit dice at medium range, but you'll only wound on a 5+. Quite probably not worth the cost.
**The AX-1-0-4 is a mere 2 point upgrade. The Ion cannon will not wound as much a the standard, but puts out more dice. Quite probably worth the upgrade if you can spare the point.

*Tiger Shark AX-1-0- The titan killer takes to the skies. In terms of chassis, its the same as the standard, but with no transport space, and 1 higher max speed. It can be equipped with a long range heavy rail cannon, or short ranged plasma accelerators. Use the former if you wanna take something out turn 1, or the latter if you expect a close range brawl.

*Remora Drone- Teeny tiny drones. They're hella cheap, and make imperial lightning fighters look tanky. However, you won't have to worry about ground defences thanks to stealth, and at max speed they're hella manoeuvrable. In terms of firepower its, well its not great. But what did you expect from a tiny scout plane.
