Tidewall Rampart $160  SOLD OUT

So it looks to be a ten plus sprue kit, with true colored plastic inserts for the shieldline, and perhaps some pre-bagged multi-part drone pieces to interface with the droneport.

Curiously the copyright is 2015, so has Games Workshop been busy little gue’las this year making other fortifications as well?

Get ready to deploy this new Tau mobile firebase in your games of 40k soon!
