The Retaliation Cadre Battleforce is the ultimate expression of the T’au Empire’s tactical prowess, blending cutting-edge technology with devastating long-range firepower. Commanded by a T’au Empire Commander—either as an armored XV-85 Enforcer Battlesuit or the lightning-fast XV86 Coldstar Battlesuit—this cadre strikes swiftly and precisely to bring the Greater Good to every corner of the battlefield.

Key to this force is the XV88 Broadside Battlesuit, a long-range powerhouse armed with destructive railguns or missile systems, capable of obliterating enemy armor from a safe distance. For stealth operations, the XV95 Ghostkeel Battlesuit excels with its cloaking technology, infiltrating enemy lines and launching close-range surprise attacks with powerful weaponry.

Dominating the battlefield is the imposing XV104 Riptide Battlesuit, which offers unparalleled durability and firepower, whether it’s unleashing devastating shots from its ion accelerator or mowing down foes with its heavy burst cannon. These battlesuits are supported by Drones, versatile units that can be equipped to provide extra firepower, protection, or enhanced targeting capabilities, making the entire cadre more resilient and lethal.

This Warhammer 40k box set is perfect for expanding your T’au Empire forces with a selection of highly advanced and adaptable battlesuits. All it takes is a few squads of Fire Warriors and Kroot Hounds (250 to be exact) to transform this Battleforce into a full-fledged army.
