KV128 Stormsurge is a T'au gargantuan creature with phenomenal firepower that is equally lethal in attack and defence.

Description

The earth shakes with the approach of the towering KV128 Stormsurge. Mag-lifted into battle by modified Manta Missile Destroyers, these titanic walking tanks serve as mobile strongpoints with enough firepower to obliterate entire formations of the foe. Once he has the enemy in his sights, the Stormsurge's pilot fires stabilising anchors, locking the enormous ballistic suit to the ground while the gunner diverts all power to its apocalyptic arsenal of weaponry.
