Pathfinders

Tau Pathfinders are the eyes and ears of the army's commander, and coordinate closely with other formations. An efficient Pathfinder team can help other Fire Warrior teams operate at peak efficiency and are highly respected as a consequence.

Pathfinders are the undisputed masters of battlefield positioning, with limitless patience and a proud determination to choose the most valuable targets for others to destroy. Imperial troops who fought in the Damocles Crusade described the signature of the barely visible markelight beams as the Valkyrie's Mark, because those it chose were soon numbered among the dead.
