'''Battlesuits''' (termed '''Her'ex'vre''' in the [[T'au Lexicon]], meaning "Mantle of the Hero") are bipedal mobile armored platforms used by the [[Tau]] and are one of their most advanced pieces of technology. They incorporate many weapons systems and , advanced armour comparable to a [[Space Marine]]'s , and can easily lay down a withering hail variety of fire systems, allowing them to destroy both infantry and vehicles. These Battlesuits have fulfill many specific roles and abilities within the Tau armymilitary.{{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}}

The first Battlesuits were used by the Tau during the are a type of advanced [[First Sphere of Expansionpower armour]], where they were then known as with the T-Series, helping capture larger models likened by [[Tash'varImperial]] in 576.observers to fast-moving (and infinitely more graceful) [[M39Dreadnought]]s.{{Fn|8b3}}. The fossil-fuel powered T-Series was quickly replaced by the V-SeriesThey vary in size, which used Fission Reactors. However radiation poisoning for pilots was still problematic and it was not until later that they became standard in Tau from no bigger than a [[CadreFire Warrior]]s. The current X-series of Battlesuits are far more advanced than their predecessorsin standard armour, and are considered the elite tip of the spear of the Tau Empire.{{Fn|8a}} Only to being twice as tall as a [[Fire WarriorsSpace Marine]] who have served as standard troopers (or with the new [[Shas'laXV104 Riptide]]having surpassed even this) then passed .{{Fn|3}}. Battlesuits vary in role, from battlefield infiltration to fire support. Most are designed to be worn by a single Fire Warrior and are packed with advanced weaponry and devices, including multi-spectrum sensors and scanners useful for detecting hidden enemies, and recoil absorption technology which, while not providing the same stability as [[Trial by FireTerminator Armour]] can go on to become Battlesuit pilots, allows for accurate shooting of light weaponry while moving.{{Fn|8c1}}

Modern Battlesuits are a type of advanced [[power armour]]equipped with dense nanocrystalline alloy armor with liquid metal coatings, with which while providing superior durability and protection to internal systems is also light enough to avoid unnecessary encumbrance. Damage to armor and internals can be transmitted to the pilot's nervous system as sympathetic pain via the larger models likened by [[Imperial]] observers inner cocoon, though only ever at level sufficient to fast-moving (inform pilots and infinitely more graceful) [[Dreadnought]]snever intense enough to distract.{{Fn|316}}{{Fn|18}} They vary in size, from no bigger than a  Only [[Fire WarriorWarriors]] in who have served as standard armour, to being twice as tall as a troopers (or [[Space MarineShas'la]] (with ) then passed the new [[XV104 Riptide]] having surpassed even this).{{Fn|3}}.
