Riptide Battlesuit

T’au Empire datasheet · 1 model — 190 points, 1 model — 220 points

The Riptide combines the armoured resilience and overwhelming firepower of a heavy battle tank with the agility of a swift and skilful warrior. Powered by a thrumming nova reactor, the battlesuit can overcharge its systems at need, while its massed firepower can eradicate entire formations of enemy warriors or armoured vehicles.
