Of course, simply piloting a huge battlesuit doesn't automatically make a troop into a Commander - more than anything, it's the strategic nous and ability to adapt to unpredictable situations that stands this pilot out from the others. Many, many years of tireless dedication are required to reach this prestigious rank; every T'au Commander has achieved their status the hard way. Their XV-85 Enforcer Armour Crisis Battlesuits are armed with immensely destructive weapon arrays - flamers, ion blasters and frag projectors are amongst the optional loadouts, with electronic countermeasure suites and huge data-processing capabilities enhancing their battle prowess.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe XV86 Coldstar Battlesuit variant is covered in fins which streamline it, allowing super-fast movement across the theatre of battle, annihilating enemies with sharp shocks from its burst cannon. The on-board holophoton countermeasures and telemetry suites feed the Coldstar and its Commander pilot a massive variety of information that would overwhelm the untrained mind - instead, in this case, it allows the Coldstar Battlesuit to soar over its foes with a grace that enemy targeting systems simply cannot hope to catch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis multi-part plastic kit gives you everything you need in order to build one T'au Commander, in either an XV-85 Enforcer Armour Crisis Battlesuit or an XV86 Coldstar Battlesuit.

Towering over even other T'au battlesuits, the Riptide balances impressive size with surprising agility, enabling it to act as a highly mobile and devastating fire support platform. It was developed by the Earth Caste in response to the growing size and lethality of enemy war machines, such as the super-heavy tanks and Knights of the Imperium. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"otQkpb\" aria-level=\"3\" role=\"heading\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003eKey features\u003cbr\u003eSize and armor: The Riptide stands roughly twice the height of a standard XV8 Crisis Battlesuit. Its frame is covered in sleek armor panels made from a rare, nano-crystalline alloy called Fio'tak, which offers a high degree of protection.\u003cbr\u003eMobility: A large, powerful jetpack is mounted on its back, enabling the Riptide to traverse the battlefield quickly, redeploying to plug gaps in the battle line or deliver a crushing counterattack.\u003cbr\u003eNova Reactor: The suit is powered by an experimental Dark Matter Nova Reactor.
