* AttackReflector: The [[DeflectorShields Tidewall Field]] generated by the Tidewall Shieldline is designed to reflect attacks from kinetic and energy weapons back at the firer. The 8th Edition rules represent this with a chance for enemy units suffering [[UnblockableAttack mortal wounds]] when their shooting attacks are saved by the Tidewall Field.

** Commander Farsight's Custom Crisis Battlesuit sports a [[CharClone red paintjob and silver helmet]].

* CharClone: Commander Farsight is a FallenHero of the T'au Empire, and TheRival of Commander Shadowsun, the current supreme commander of the Fire Caste's military forces. After discovering the horrors of the galaxy, Farsight left the Empire and now leads a colony of separatists, unencumbered by the hidebound attitudes of the Empire's ruling Ethereals. A highly aggressive military commander, Farsight pilots a first generation Crisis battlesuit that has been painted red in recognition of those who fell during the Arkunasha War, and extensively modified so that it is the equal to all but the most advanced contemporary suits.

* HorseOfADifferentColor: Knarlocs, which are Kroot-derived pack-hunting beasts that walk on two legs and use their short forearms to grasp prey,[[note]]Think of the [[Film/JurassicPark popular]] [[RaptorAttack conception]] of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velociraptor velociraptors]] for a good visualization of it.[[/note]] are often used as cavalry mounts by the Kroot. The Knarloc's pack mentality and relative intelligence makes them ideal for domestication and their viciousness as hunters makes them ideal for combat. A good Knarloc is a source of prestige to other Kroot.
