TAU KX139 TA’UNAR SUPREMACY ARMOUR £250
Tau Supremacy armour is larger than any other current class of battlesuit. It is intended to meet a threat that the Tau Empire has not yet prepared for; the defence of worlds within their growing domain from the counter-expansion forces of other races. Lacking the manoeuvrability of other battlesuits, the KX139 Ta’unar Supremacy Armour was designed for static defence, carrying massively destructive, long range weapons.
Encountering increasing numbers of enemy heavy assault elements, from Imperial Knights to the towering alien monstrosities of the Tyranid Hive Fleets, Tau heavy flyers were often outclassed. Earth Caste engineer Fio’o Ke’lshan Sho’aun developed the KX139 to mount a dynamic yet stoic defence against such foes.
Armed with a pair of Tri-axis Ion Cannon and a Pulse Ordnance Multi-driver, this KX139 Ta’unar Supremacy Armour Battlesuit is ready to engage enemies at range and dominate the battlefield.
This bundle includes one Tau KX139 Ta’unar Supremacy Armour Body, two Tri-axis Ion Cannon and one Pulse Ordnance Multi-driver. This multi-part resin kits together build a fully armed Tau KX139 Ta’unar Supremacy Armour Battlesuit including a 160mm round base.

WOW – check out those rules! A shield that offers partial protection vs D weapons and the Tau get a Gargantuan Creature! Also that Pulse-ordinance multi-driver is going to make people cry, and the giant dude gets overwatch attacks at BS2! What’s not to like?
Now that we’ve finally got a good look at it, you can tell it is quite a big model. The arms and carapace guns are also offered separately as well, so you can imagine FW will come out with more upgrades for this suit in the future. For a lot of hobbyists out there, I’m sure this is more than enough to get those hobby juices flowing right now though!
Kudos to Forge World for keeping the hobby moving forward with great looking designs and keeping up with the technology to actually make them look that good on the tabletop as well!
