XV104 Riptide

Hello termies.... time to dieeeee

What I'd been doing with all my spare time....

yeah, just had to get one of these things so yes, this is the Tau XV104 RIPTIDE battlesuit... painted in my army's colours (urban camo). and this thing is HUGE man it's 14 cm tall!!!
Kinda got facinated by this so now my army has a centerpiece. total time 4 days.

Currently armed with the ion accelerator (which I think is superior to the mega-burstkannon) and a twin-liked fusion blaster.
And yes, the weapons are magnetised.... (did you expect less from me on such an expensive model?)
And I'd not painted the EAVY' burst kannon yet or the other weapon systems... just rushed to finish what I'd most likely use more... the more impressive gun later... also no, I'd not finished assembling the shielded missile drones either....



And yes. My tau army's the 125th Skychasers. Combat evaluation unit. Colour scheme is urban warfare camouflage.

"oh? what is it?", the Tau commander replied. " About time he'd given us some reinforcements since that hammerhead that cant hit anything."

"It's a XV104 Riptide"

A smile went across the commander's face.
"Assemble the 125th. "... she grinned.... "it's time to settle a score with his greenskins, we will take the hobby table for the greater good!"</sub>
