Editing XV-104 Riptide Battlesuit (section)

==Fluff==
The XV104 Riptide was first introduced during the Third Sphere Expansion of the Tau Empire. When the Tau needed to break the siege at a pair of [[Hive city|Hive Cities]] that the Tau were having trouble with. When everyone's favourite waifu [[Shadowsun]] was told of the failure to breakthrough, she decided to break out her new toys. This was the introduction of the ZZ Gund... sorry, the XV104 Riptide Battlesuit. Striding onto the battlefield undeterred by the shitload of [[dakka]] that was coming their way, the new battlesuits basically ripped the Imperial defenders a new one. When the Imperial troops sent <s>guided missiles</s> '''Deathstrike Missiles''' their way, the riptides were [[What|unscathed]], [[Cheese|protected by their Riptide Shield Generators]]. They approached the Imperial defences and blasted holes in them with their High Mega Canno... sorry, Ion Accelerators.

And so, like [[Rage|'''THREE''']] of these things effectively [[Bullshit|conquered two entire ''Hive Cities'']].

The Riptide soon spread through the Tau Empire, being the lure for thousands of preteen GW customers with too much money and not enough playtime. It soon reigned supreme over the fluff battlefield and the meta one. The reason given for its ludicrous $130 Australian Dollars price tag is that the Riptide's extremely tough and "impenetrable" armor is made from a super-rare material called <s>Fio'tak</s> Gundanium. The real-life reason for the cost is that GeeDubs knows we're suckers that will buy it without blinking an eye. They use a super-powerful engine called the Nova Reactor to overdrive their capabilities to the max, allowing them several things on the tabletop, most notable the ability to overpower their two weapons.
