XV107 R'varna Battlesuit
A Battlesuit designed to assfuck Tyranids into submission. A development of the XV104 Riptide, it sacrifices mobility for heavier armor and firepower in the form of two Pulse Submunitions Cannons. The XV107 R'varna Battlesuit is a heavy-duty anti-armor Battlesuit designed to hunt tanks and their equivalent from a safe distance away.
Overview
The Earth Caste researchers of Ke'lshan were almost forced to abandon development of the R'varna due to its monumental cost. Instead, Fio'O Ke'lshan Sho'Aun turned to the Ethereal Council's demand for improved stealth and infiltration units, appropriating resources intended for the creation of a new Stealth Suit to the R'varna project. Renewed Tyranid attacks against the Ke'lshan Sept eventually revealed O'Sho'aun's deception to the Council, as the trio of R'varna prototypes held back the Tyranid horde at Ke'lshan's primary city.
Crunch
On 9th Edition, these are your quintessential heavy support version of the Riptides, a long-range TEQ and light vehicle killer. Like the Broadside, it gives up FLY in exchange for its heavier weaponry and increased durability. Use the nova reactor to turn those 3d3 shots into 9, get the godlike 4++ or blast some MW into the units tying you up.
