Stealth just got louder in the best way.
The T’au Empire’s new XV26 Stealth Battlesuits roll into Dead Silence with toys that make Wolf Scouts rethink bravado. This kit leans into Kauyon, so the suits bait you in, vanish, and then shred you at knife range. Additionally, their rules twist the visibility game so hard that line of sight feels optional. Consequently, patient play gets paid in full when the ambush finally lands.
Invisibility On Demand, Burst Cannon On Cue
If an XV26 wants to vanish, it simply does. While on a Conceal order, advanced Stealth Fields render a suit completely invisible beyond 3 inches. Therefore, you only see blue lenses when they have already lined up burst cannon dice.
Moreover, their philosophy is pure Patient Hunter, with targeting solutions plotted as enemies creep forward and salvos triggered at the exact tipping point. However, pilots are mavericks at heart, so they freely swap between strict Kauyon timing and risky power shunts that juice stealth fields in a flash. Consequently, the team plays like a spring trap that you never quite spot until it snaps shut.
Tools For True Black Ops
The XV26 chassis arrives with mission-first upgrades that push beyond simple gunplay. The Neutraliser variant straps on a Multispectrum Sensor Package that warns allies of incoming threats, which lets teammates
Dash clear or slip back into concealment. Additionally, the roster brings a Shas’vre who fuels drone efficiency once casualties mount and keeps the whole cell on plan. Meanwhile, the Designator reveals obscured operatives with hallmark markerlights, while the Lodestar floods lanes with electrochaff and feeds a homing beacon for clean collapses. Furthermore, the Liberator turns stealth into shock by solving problems with grenades, and the Infiltrator quietly handles mission actions when it truly matters.
Drones, Fusion, And The Moment To Strike
Every fireteam fields five suits with two drones, and the Shas’vre plus both drones are mandatory. Because marker discipline wins games, the Marker Drone doubles down on reveals while the Gun Drone screens with photon grenades and respectable fire. Most suits tote burst cannons, yet two can swap to fusion blasters, which finally answers the question of what to do when Space Marines crash the party. Additionally, the faction rewards precise tempo control since you decide when to show and when to delete. Therefore, commanders who wait, stack advantages, and commit at the peak will erase threats with overwhelming force.
Final Thoughts
Dead Silence gives the T’au a stealth team that actually rewrites stealth. The XV26s control visibility, pace, and priority with sensors, drones, and patient kill windows. Moreover, they punish overextension and make objectives unsafe through late-turn fades and sudden fusion spikes. If you enjoy tight timing, careful setup, and cinematic reveals, this is your new main. Now paint them up, hold your nerve, and pull the trigger only when the prey has already stepped into your crosshairs.
