More close action than long range support. Some interesting movement options and nova abilities.

You have to love the smell of science in the morning. It smells of learning.... or perhaps a gas leak.

Looks neat to me. The cost is a bit high, but I guess it ought to be if you want a Tau unit that can survive assault.

I kind of like it. Not my style of game play since you have to get in their face to use effectively but certainly something that looks fun. The escape from melee movement option just looks hilarious for a neener neener comment to your opponent or perhaps a classic Yoink!

That actually looks pretty scary to me. Sure, you have to get up close, but you have enough power to remove swaths of marines or entire vehicles from the   table. Potentially 6 haywire hits is terrifying! Pure tau lists would probably prefer a more conventional unit, but an allies list with a decent countercharge unit could team up well with this suit.
