Description Contents Paint Guide

The XV8 Crisis Battlesuit is a marvel of T’au engineering and innovation, a symbol of their rapid technological advancement and adaptability. These battlesuits can fly across the battlefield with their repulsor engines, unleashing a devastating barrage of weapons and then darting away before the enemy can react. Only the most skilled and experienced T’au warriors earn the right to pilot these machines, proving themselves in countless battles before being granted this honour. These battlesuits can also be deployed from high orbit, crashing into enemy lines like a meteor, combining firepower, speed and durability in one lethal package.

This multi-part plastic kit contains everything you need to build three XV8 Crisis Battlesuits, along with six drones. You can customise your battlesuits with ball fittings that allow for a wide range of poses. One of the models can be built as a Shas’vre, with a unique head and chest plate, and you have access to a huge array of advanced T’au weaponry in the box: four plasma rifles, three flamers, four fusion blasters, four burst cannons, three missile pods and three shield generators. The drones can be equipped with gun, shield or marker options, and you can build up to six drones, with a maximum of three of any one type. The kit also includes various battlesuit electronics systems. One of the models can be optionally assembled as the new, experimental Iridium-class XV8-02 Crisis Battlesuit - characterised by its thicker armour and more aggressive look. A lot of variety!

The kit contains 152 components in total, with three Citadel 50mm Round bases and three Citadel small Flying bases.

Games Workshop have two broad methods for painting their models. Both are entirely viable options, though have significant differences in the paints required (detailed below). You can find all of the required paints in the 'recommended paint' section below, whether you simply want to get it out onto the tabletop ASAP (i.e. 'Battle Ready'), or want to take your time and make it a masterpiece (i.e. 'Parade Ready'):

1. Classic Method - uses acrylic paints to build layers of colour and depth. Usually topped off with a shade paint to really make the shadows pop. Probably the most beginner friendly method as mistakes are often easy to fix.

2. Contast Method - uses ink-like contrast painsts which sink into recesses, providing depth in highlights and shadows with a single layer of paint. It can take some practise to get this method to look great, but it's highly satisfying when it does work. Less forgiving when mistakes happen, though arguably the quicker method of the two options.
