Warhammer: 40K - T'au Empire Commander
Swift and deadly, T'au Commanders pilot battle-suits of intimidating size and power. Of course, simply piloting a huge battle-suit doesn't automatically make a troop into a Commander. It is 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 Armor Crisis Battle-suits 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.
The XV86 Coldstar Battle-suit 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,it allows the Coldstar Battle-suit to soar over its foes with a grace that enemy targeting systems simply cannot hope to catch.
The T'au Empire Commander kit gives you everything you need in order to build one T'au Commander, in either an XV-85 Enforcer Armor Crisis Battle-suit or an XV86 Coldstar Battle-suit. There's an immense number of options available in the box - different heads, engines, leg and arm assemblies - and a ton of weapons! An airburst frag projector, a plasma rifle, a flamer, a fusion blaster, a cyclic ion blaster, a burst cannon (plus upgrade kit) and a missile pod. Included is a drone, which can be assembled as a gun, shield or marker drone. Also included is 1 Citadel 60mm Round base.
*Requires assembly and is supplied unpainted – Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Color paints, recommended.
