A development of the XV104 Riptide, the T'au XV107 R'varna battlesuit sacrifices mobility for heavier armour and increased firepower in the form of two pulse submunition cannons – experimental weapons systems which fire micro-cluster projectiles capable of saturating the target area in a deadly storm of plasma pulses.
The stoic Earth caste of Ke'lshan was almost forced to abandon its plans for developing the R'varna battlesuit due to the monumental cost of these new war engines. Instead, the brilliant engineer Fio'O Ke'lshan Sho'Aun exploited the Ethereal Council's demands for improved stealth and infiltration units, misappropriating resources intended for that project to create the initial prototype units. Renewed Tyranid attacks against the beleaguered sept world of Ke'lshan would reveal Sho'Aun's deception to the Council, as the trio of prototype battlesuits held back the savage host of organic nightmares that threatened to engulf the sept's primary city.
The XV107 R'varna battlesuit is a complete multi-part resin and plastic kit. It is not a toy – it is a collectible item and construction should only be undertaken by expert Warhammer hobbyists aged 15 years and over.
This kit is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel paints.
