An iconic symbol of T’au technological progress and ingenuity, the XV8 Crisis Battlesuit is a marvel on the battlefield — unless you’re the target. Hovering on repulsor jets, Crisis Battlesuits close in on enemies with remarkable speed, unleashing a diverse array of weapons before leaping away in the blink of an eye. Only the most skilled T’au warriors are entrusted to pilot these suits, having spent years on the front line before being considered for this honour. Capable of being deployed from a planet’s upper atmosphere, the XV8 Crisis Battlesuit combines firepower, speed, and resilience like no other war machine.

This multi-part plastic kit contains everything needed to assemble three XV8 Crisis Battlesuits, along with six accompanying drones. Extensive customisation is possible with ball fittings for exceptional posability. One miniature can be assembled as a Shas’vre, featuring a unique head and chest plate. The kit includes a wealth of T’au weaponry: four plasma rifles, three flamers, four fusion blasters, four burst cannons, three missile pods, and three shield generators. Drones can be configured as gun, shield, or marker variants, with up to three of any type. The kit also includes advanced battlesuit electronics systems, and one model can be built as the experimental Iridium-class XV8-02 Crisis Battlesuit, identifiable by its thicker armour and aggressive design.

The kit contains 152 plastic components, including three Citadel 50mm Round bases and three Citadel small flying bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly. Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints are recommended.
