'''Battlesuits''' are used by the [[Tau]] and are one of their most advanced pieces of technology. They incorporate many weapons systems and armour comparable to a [[Space Marine]]'s and can easily lay down a withering hail of fire to destroy both infantry and vehicles. These Battlesuits have specific roles and abilities within the Tau army.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}} Among the Tau, they are known as "Her'ex'vre", which translates as "Mantle of the Hero".{{Fn|12}} Basically the Battlesuits are made of a dense nanocrystalline alloy which has an impact structure and a lightweight composition that allows the suit to carry more weapon and support systems. Meanwhile, the shape of each battlesuit helps to deflect solid shots, while a liquid metal coating reflects laser fire.{{Fn|16}}
