===Tau Flamer=== [[File:Tau_Flamer.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Tau Flamer]] Used by [[Crisis Battlesuit]]s, [[Ghostkeel Battlesuit|Ghostkeel]], and [[Stormsurge Ballistic Suit|Stormsurge platforms]]; the Tau's usual function for their Flamers is to deter close-ranged attackers, not particularly wiping out hordes. In order to not be left out on this category since other races seem to have their own Promethium projectors, the Tau Empire's Earth Caste has developed Flamers designed for use as a weapon system for the XV8 Crisis Battlesuits, possibly right after they discovered actual Promethium and figured out the ways to mine and refine it. These same [[XV8 Crisis Battlesuit]]s can also choose to use a twin-linked version of these Flamers, in which case it will take up two of their three available system hardpoints. Most often equipped when Battlesuit teams are expected to be fighting massed, lightly-armored opponents, Tau Flamers are lethal weapons when used against foes in dense terrain. Due to the nature of said Battlesuits and Tau tactics in general, they are not intended to be used as a primary weapon (''[[Farsight]]'s pyromaniac buddy/possible fangirl Torchstar gives zero shits about this and dual-wields them anyway''). It curiously looks like a toy piece ripped straight out of Lego, which doesn't really make it look 40k. But like all things 40k, this is still a proper, military-grade Flamer that should not be underestimated. Suffice to say, the designs of the Tau Flamer is one of repetitive [[Fail|facepalms]]. <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {|align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=10 |- | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;"| Gallery |- |<gallery class="center"> TauFlamerModel.jpg|<center>Model</center> TauFlamer.jpg|<center>Standard Variant</center> TauIridiumFlamer.jpg|<center>XV8-02 Iridium Suit</center> TorchstarFlamer.jpg|<center>Commander Torchstar</center> TauTwinFlamer.jpg|<center>Twin-linked Variant</center> </gallery> |} | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;" | Stats |- | {{40k-Ranged-Weapon-Profile-7-8|r7=Template|s7=4|ap7=5|type7=Assault 1|r8=8"|s8=4|type8=Assault D6|abil8=Automatically hits target.}} |} |} |} </center>
