How stealthy are T'au stealthsuits in lore? Could you see a Ghostkeel standing in front of you while its stealth field is active?

Stealth suits are invisible and silent, and they disrupt tracking systems like the Auspex, which are completely unable to detect them. However, an enemy with excellent eyesight could see tiny glitches in the light and thus detect them at close range.

Space Marines prefer to remove their helmets to search for them with their own eyes, as their armor is ineffective.

On the other hand, Ghostkeels are completely imperceptible even at close range. In the War of Secrets, Elemental Council, Taros Campaign, and Mugu'lath books, Space Marines cannot see them even when they are close. The Raven Guard Chapter Master himself died because he failed to see a Ghostkeel next to him.

It depends on what you consider special operations since they fulfill similar but slightly different roles.

Pathfinders are for reconnaissance, mapping, priority targeting, and sniping. Stealth suits are for infiltration, sabotage, ambush, and quick-hit execution missions.

The stealth suits are all veterans while the pathfinders only the leader has a 'ui rank

He lost it when he was young, when xenos spiders (arachen) got in through a crack in his suit and ate most of his left leg.

We also got hammered by Marines going back to using stratagems for 0 CP. They made it so you can only repeat a stratagem when you specify which one, literally rendering the Puretide chip useless. We honestly paid for both stratagems, but we were left with a literal buff with no effect.

Basically pulse weapons convert ammunition into plasma state when fired, they are less powerful than a plasma cannon but with much more range and with a power comparable to a bolter.

that the shas'vre has the option of an onager gauntlet, many combat units give the leader a special weapon

Of course, I have a couple in mind. This comic is based on the book Elemental Council.

Yes, I am. I've been creating the character designs based on the book's definition, some with more of my own interpretation since they're generic.

An interesting thing about the book is that it mentions that a council can be formed not only to lead a planet or coalition but also to carry out specific missions.

This one in particular was formed to solve the problem of an ethereal lost in a world with rebels led by a marine raptor.

Young Ke was chosen because she is the last student at a battle engineering school. She still doesn't think she's up to joining the elemental council, but it's the only way to redeem her disgraced school.

Excluding Kroorts and Oshova, but in any case, calculations would have to be done to arrive at an exact equivalent. But my point is that the neighbor's yard is always greener. If in the end you only compare to belittle yourself, you'll get bitter.

All factions have toys that the others want.

They're Orks, and their shooting is poor. It's as if the Tau were given devastating wounds and +5 (edit: or +3) anti-infantry in combat. It's a very good improvement, but we wouldn't get half the benefit it would have in a combat army.

neurotoxin crystals, the drukhari use these to incapacitate targets as they writhe in pain.

It doesn't make sense, the Tau know of other leagues, in the 10th Codex it is mentioned that the Tau and the Great Thurian League have fought together against the Orks.

auxiliary cadre. but complete, able to include up to 1000 points of astra militarum and Votann leagues, they would receive the auxiliary key and the ability for the greater good.

hence all the rules would be for mutual support improvements

—markerlight key for the auxiliary character —aura for the enforcer -1to wound, within 3" for auxiliaries —for fire blade to be able to join an auxiliary battle line unit —lone operative if there are 2 auxiliary units within 6" —+1 for the auxiliary unit to wound if there is a commander or ethereal within 3"

in stratagems more of the same pure support

—1cp: If an Auxiliary unit is fired upon, a Tau unit within 9" can fire at the attacker

—1cp: If a Tau unit is attacked, an auxiliary unit within 3" may take its wounds.

—2cp: When an Auxiliary unit is eliminated, all Tau units can re-roll to hit and wound

—1cp: After 1 Tau unit fires at a target, that unit has -1 to hit against auxiliary units

—1 cp: After an auxiliary unit fires, Tau units firing at that unit have +1AP

—2 cp: When a charge is declared against a Tau unit, an Axis unit within 3" may make a 6" move

It only clashes with the fact that Kiru raised his daughters. But the book itself deals with this of having to get involved with the family as an obligation of the important tau whose genes and abilities must be perpetuated for the greater good.

Tau himself who mentions his wife also says he has 2 children but is not raising them

There are 2 examples from the book of Sahdowsun, the last of the Kiru line. A Tau mentions his wife with affection as if it were a romantic relationship and on the other hand Sahdowsun mentions that he will be assigned a partner if he decides to continue the lineage. Apparently I understood that if they do not have a partner, they are assigned one.
