Warhammer 40000: T'au Empire Battleforce: Farsight Cadre

Product detailed description

Commander Farsight goes to war surrounded by Battlesuits that can keep up with his aggressive style of war. While soaking up return fire that would lay most armies low, the heavy firepower they bring to bear is enough to crush most opposition. Few are the foes that can withstand the concentrated attention of Farsight's Cadre.

This packed boxed set is ideal for starting a new T'au Empire collection – or expanding an existing army – to unleash in games of Warhammer 40,000, and save money compared to buying the kits separately. Led by Commander Farsight himself, the entire force is composed of Battlesuits and their accompanying drones. A core of three Crisis Battlesuits with a flexible loadout is complemented and supported by both a Broadside Battlesuit and a Riptide Battlesuit for some overwhelmingly heavy firepower.

This boxed set builds 16 multipart plastic T'au Empire miniatures:
– 1x Commander Farsight
– 1x Riptide Battlesuit with 2x drones
– 1x Broadside Battlesuit with 2x drones
– 3x Crisis Battlesuits with 6x drones

The miniatures in this kit are easy to customise. The Riptide Battlesuit can be armed with your choice of heavy burst cannon or ion accelerator. It can be further upgraded with a twin plasma rifle, twin fusion blaster, or twin smart missile system. The Riptide Battlesuit comes with a choice of two heads, is accompanied by two drones, and can be assembled in a variety of different poses.

The Broadside Battlesuit is armed with your choice of a heavy rail rifle or high-yield missile pods. It can be further upgraded with a seeker missile, twin plasma rifle, twin smart missile system, or a weapon support system. There are also three different head options, and the drones can be built as gun drones, missile drones, shield drones, or marker drones.

The Crisis Battlesuits can each be built on the ground or with flying stems as if just landing or taking off. The heads, knee pads, and shoulder pads are interchangeable, as are the weapons – there are four plasma rifles, three T'au flamers, four fusion blasters, four burst cannons, three missile pods, and three shield generators. The six drones can be built as up to three gun drones, up to three shield drones, and up to three marker drones. There are also parts to build an optional Shas'vre or Iridium-class XV8-02 Crisis Battlesuit.

This kit is supplied with 1x T'au Empire Infantry Decals – Vior'la Sept Transfer Sheet, which contains 177 high-quality waterslide transfers to decorate your miniatures. These include a selection of Vior'la Sept markings for various Battlesuits, and for other infantry in your collection, such as Pathfinder Teams, Strike Teams, and Breacher Teams.

This kit comprises 474 plastic components, 1x Citadel 120mm Oval Base, 2x Citadel 60mm Round Bases, 3x Citadel 50mm Round Bases, 10x Citadel Small Flying Bases, 1x Citadel Nazgul Flying Stem, and 16x Citadel Large Flying Stems. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
