XV-104 Riptide

The new ubersuit for the spacecommies and boy is he big.

Rules

It's the big brother of a dreadknight with more wounds a better save if charged and better shooting, while still beeing hideus in cc. Also has (after the Landspeeder vengance) the second crappiest weapon ever a getting hot cannon with 12 shot, making it almost sure you damage yourself with it, probably to death.

Fluff

Well since the Tau are for the japanese folks and all it's the next step to take up anime themes and giving them their own Gundam. The next Taubook: Ninja-tau screaming rasengan and Ethereal carrying realy big katanas. Well whatever probably fun to play.

But by the way, in the last codex getting hot was a no no for tau. Even their plasmaweapon didn't get hot (and still doesn't) so why get's everything else hot, here espacially. First the whole Model can get hot on a 1-2 and then you have a stupid weapon with 12 shot getting hot?
