Games Workshop is bringing on T’au XV26 Stealth Suits in a new Kill Team: Dead Silence. Here’s a peek at the sneaky xenos rules.
In a followup to Tomb World, once again the Kill Teams are travelling down into the Necron’s slumbering halls. Searching for technology the T’au are sending in the Stealth Suits in an effort to keep this mission on the downlow. However, the Space Wolves have spotted them and are aware of their motives. The Wolf Scouts are in hot pursuit but the battle ground is a deadly one. You could even say this battle is taking place in …Dead Silence.
“Now, in Kill Team: Dead Silence, the cutting edge XV26 Stealth Battlesuits are ready to deploy, and they’ll run rings around any Wolf Scouts who think that raw aggression can carry the day.”
Let’s take a look at wha to expect from the T’au in the next boxed set for Kill Team!
T’au XV26 Stealth Battlesuit Kill Team
“If a Stealth Battlesuit operative doesn’t want to be seen, they won’t be – the advanced Stealth Fields built into their armour render them completely invisible from more than 3” away so long as they’re in a Conceal order. By the time you see them, it’s probably too late, and they’re already spinning up the burst cannon.
With the ball firmly in their court, XV26 specialists use the martial philosophy known as Kauyon – or the Patient Hunter in Low Gothic – to draw in their prey and launch devastating ambushes. As the enemy creep closer to their territory, targeting solutions are carefully plotted, and the resulting salvo strikes with unerring accuracy.”
XV26 Rules & Strats
The not being visible outside of 3″ is extremely spicy! On top of having to plan around that nightmare oponents wil have to deal with all those stacking Accurate bonuses, as they try to press deeper and deeper into T’au territory on the tabletop. Good luck!

“An XV26 Stealth Battlesuit kill team is made up of five operatives accompanied by two loyal drones, and you have to bring the Shas’vre squad leader and drones along every time. In addition to the Neutraliser above, your roster looks something like this”
- Shas’vre: The leader. Carries a drone controller to get the most out of their floating allies, and empowers the team when casualties start to mount.
- Designator: The spotter. Uses a classic T’au markerlight to reveal obscured enemies.
- Liberator: The grenadier. Yes, high explosives might not be the stealthiest thing in the world, but you’ll be glad you have them.
- Lodestar: The defender. Fires clouds of electrochaff to foul enemy shots, and feeds intelligence through a homing beacon.
- Infiltrator: The soldier. Dependable, uncomplicated, and the best at taking mission actions.
- Marker Drone: The other spotter. Also has a markerlight, but much more expendable.
- Gun Drone: The guard dog. Respectable firepower, and can slow down enemies with photon grenades.
Kill Team: Dead Silence is going up for Pre-order soon. Keep your senses alert for this one – For the Greater Good!
