Forge World are well known for their great 40k “miniatures”. Well, quite huge ones. The new Tau Empire XV9 Armour is now out and available for sale directly from Forge World, and is priced at £24.95. Not too bad if you ask me.
The model is not legal in tournaments, but is a cool addition to any collection and can also be used in friendly games. Depends on what your focus is. The XV9 Close Support Armour is meant for close range firepower support, especially against large numbers of enemy troops (hordes beware). It is also a really hard to wound unit, although it is a bit short on wounds (typical really). Basically a pumped up crisis suit packing an extra punch with its higher resilience and ability to punch out more firepower (with some heavier weapons available to it than to crisis suits).
Take a look at the XV9 pictures while you decide…
