Games Workshop Exo-armor XV104 Riptide of the T'au Empire

The XV104 Riptide is the pinnacle of the Earth caste's battlesuit development. It stands twice as tall as the XV8 Crisis suit, but its movements are more fluid, resembling those of its smaller cousins rather than the mechanical stiffness displayed by Imperial walkers with their crude servo-motors. The XV104 Riptide elevates the evolution of the T'au battlesuit to a whole new level.

First and foremost, this model is huge, towering over the rest of the T'au, including other battlesuits and tanks. Sleek and elegant armor panels, along with bolts and grills, cover its body. Despite its enormous size, it remains a maneuverable model, with ball and socket joints that allow its arms and legs to be posed in a variety of ways. Whether standing tall or kneeling down, it serves as a unique, dynamic centerpiece for your T'au army.

The kit includes three variant heads and a range of weapon options, including a heavy burst cannon, twin-linked smart missile systems, fusion blaster, and Riptide shield generator. Additionally, it comes with two Shielded Missile Drones. This multi-part plastic kit contains 108 components and a T'au transfer sheet to create a XV104 Riptide Battlesuit and two Shielded Missile Drones. The kit is supplied unpainted and requires assembly; it is recommended to use Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.
