Crouching stealthfield, hidden dragon! Come see the new Ghostkeel model up close and personal like without getting blasted out of existence.

The new kit is a wonder to assemble, and looks to be quite good on the tabletop as well. It’s custom crew compartment with pilot is a nice touch to the line that really hasn’t seen any updates in design philosophy since 2001.

I would expect to see a lot more dynamic models from the Tau for this release.

PROS:

  • Very Dynamic Kit with moving parts
  • Can be assembled with many options

Tau Empire Ghostkeel

 

 

CONS:

  • Pay close attention the assembly instructions, there are a ton of parts that require to be assembled only one way.

This multi-part plastic kit gives you everything needed to build one XV95 Ghostkeel Battlesuit. This miniature has a truly awesome array of modelling and posing options – arms, legs, head, engines and thrusters can all be set to different poses, and there are two different heads supplied – the head can be raised and the chest opened to reveal a male or female pilot! As well as this, you’ll receive two burst cannons, two fusion blasters, two flamers, a fusion collider, a cyclic ion raker and two XV5 stealth drone field projectors. Offensively and defensively, this battlesuit is armed to the teeth!
