{"product_id":"warhammer-40-000-tau-empire-riptide-battlesuit-3-miniatures","title":"Warhammer 40,000: T'au Empire Riptide Battlesuit (3 Miniatures)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Walking Fortress for the Greater Good\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew sights on a Warhammer 40,000 battlefield command attention like a Riptide Battlesuit bearing down on the enemy line. Towering over the T'au infantry around it, the XV104 is a centrepiece model in every sense — a hulking war machine bristling with weapons, detailed with the clean angular aesthetic that defines the T'au Empire's advanced technology. Whether you're building out a serious T'au army or hunting for a rewarding large-scale painting project, this is the kit that earns a place of honour on your display shelf as much as your gaming table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis multi-part plastic kit contains 108 components and builds one XV104 Riptide Battlesuit alongside two Shielded Missile Drones. The kit offers genuine build variety — different weapons loadouts and pose options mean experienced hobbyists can personalise their Riptide before a single layer of paint touches it. The included T'au transfer sheet provides faction markings and sept symbols to finish the model with crisp, professional-looking detail. As a multi-part kit, assembly requires plastic glue and hobby clippers; this is a modeller's kit that rewards patience and care, not a push-fit beginner box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eT'au Empire players looking to anchor their army with a powerful heavy battlesuit will find the Riptide an essential addition to any collection. Painters drawn to large, surface-rich models — smooth armour panels ideal for blending, weathering, or freehand sept markings — will have plenty to work with here. The kit's complexity makes it best suited to hobbyists who have assembled a few kits before and are comfortable with plastic glue and hobby tools. It also makes an impressive gift for the T'au player in your life who's been eyeing a centrepiece model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGames Workshop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGame System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarhammer 40,000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFaction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT'au Empire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnit Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXV104 Riptide Battlesuit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 (1 Riptide Battlesuit, 2 Shielded Missile Drones)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComponents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e108 plastic parts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28mm heroic scale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-part (plastic glue required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransfers Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes — T'au transfer sheet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaint \u0026amp; Glue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot included (sold separately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e56-13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5011921169986\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Games Workshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44247972741208,"sku":"56-13","price":131.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4980\/8728\/files\/99120113077_TAURiptideBattlesuitStock.jpg?v=1781660684","url":"https:\/\/borealgaming.com\/products\/warhammer-40-000-tau-empire-riptide-battlesuit-3-miniatures","provider":"Boreal Gaming \u0026 Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
