The Tohaa are an advanced alien civilization currently waging an open war against the EI and its Combined Army. Guardians of one of the great treasures of the universe, the Tohaa have withstood the EI’s onslaught longer than any other race in this galaxy. The Tohaa are masters of biotechnology, which enables them to build terrible viral weapons and impervious symbiont armors, but also to alter other species, granting them more intelligence so they can fight by their masters’ side. Tohaa troops are highly professional, seasoned in a thousand battles against the EI, and have a long history of fighting on their own, without support and hopelessly out-numbered.

On the game table, the Tohaa are a very mobile and versatile army with a wide selection of different units and alien auxiliaries to choose from. This mobility is provided by their "Fireteam: Triads" ability, which allows this race to create small, three-man teams composed of troopers from different units, taking advantage of their unique skills and weapons.

As specialists in bioengineering and symbiont technology, much of the Tohaa arsenal and equipment is provided by their mastery in this discipline. Viral weapons, alien support creatures, and a greater amount of multi-wound troopers than any other army thanks to their Symbiont Armor are how their troop profiles reflect this characteristic.

The Tohaa army is great for players who love Fireteams, as there is no limit on how many Triads you can take. Also, their Fireteam: Triads can be composed of any trooper with the Fireteam: Triads Special Skill, which allows the Tohaa to mix units in a team. Although the Tohaa are a very Order-efficient army, their Triads are easy to take apart, as their limited number makes them frailer. However, this is balanced thanks to the higher durability of their Symbiont-Armored troopers.

And, it's at this point that the Triad composition becomes a relevant concern. Tohaa have a wider variety of troopers, nowadays. The most typical composition relies on a point man with a support weapon acting as a gunner, a specialist to accomplish objectives, and a “filler” to provide a cheap Order, but one which can be replaced by another specialist. However, it's not necessary to always follow this formula, as there are too many options in the Tohaa Trident army list, many of which are versatile units able to cover different tactical roles. Tohaa Triads are great in both Active and Reactive Turns, but considering their relative fragility it's always advisable to deploy them in a way that they can cover each other. And, the player must not forget the amazing solo units this army also provides that can fill any gap your Triads might have, while pro-viding some unique game tactics as well. There's much to discover about the Tohaa, so don’t miss them!
