XV88 Broadside Battlesuits are a T'au heavily armoured infantry unit with long range weaponry.

Description

With deliberate strides, XV88 Broadside Battlesuits advance into optimum firing positions. Inside each of the heavily armoured battlesuits, holotargeting data dances across the retinas of the grim-faced pilot as he swings the suit's mighty guns towards the foe. Each Broadside is a walking gun battery, carrying either a twin-linked heavy rail rifle that can smash through Imperial power armour as though it were glass, or high-yield missile pods capable of wiping out swathes of enemy infantry in lethal explosions.
