TAU EMPIRE: XV104 RIPTIDE BATTLESUIT

The XV104 Riptide Battlesuit represents the pinnacle of Earth Caste battlesuit technology and is one of the most feared war machines in the T’au Empire. It stands more than twice as tall as an XV8 Crisis Battlesuit while maintaining a level of agility and precision far beyond that of many other gigantic war engines in the galaxy.

Unlike the clumsy walkers fielded by the Imperium, the Riptide combines advanced servo systems and stabilisation technology with elegant T’au engineering and remarkable manoeuvrability. Despite its enormous size, the model remains highly poseable thanks to articulated limbs, making it an ideal centrepiece for T’au armies.

The kit includes numerous build options and details:

• three different head options
• multiple posing possibilities
• option to build standing or kneeling poses

The Riptide can be equipped with several devastating weapon systems and defensive upgrades:

• heavy burst cannon
• twin-linked smart missile systems
• fusion blaster
• Riptide shield generator

The set also includes two Shielded Missile Drones to further enhance the model’s offensive and defensive capabilities.

Its immense size, sleek armour panels, and advanced technology make the XV104 Riptide Battlesuit one of the most iconic models in the entire T’au range.

The XV104 Riptide works especially well in T’au armies for Warhammer 40K focused on battlesuits, heavy firepower, and technological dominance.
