Built on a modified XV8 Crisis chassis, the Broadside is slower and bulkier than its counterparts, sacrificing mobility for extreme durability and long-range, heavy-duty firepower. It is the go-to unit for neutralizing enemy armour and heavy monsters from across the battlefield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGame System:\u003c\/b\u003e Warhammer 40,000\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFaction:\u003c\/b\u003e T'au Empire\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eUnit Role:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy Support \/ Anti-Tank\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAssembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Plastic kit with multiple heavy weapon and drone options\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eFeatures and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHeavy Weaponry:\u003c\/b\u003e The kit typically features the massive Rail Rifle (capable of punching through the thickest armour) or the High-Yield Missile Pod (perfect for saturating an area with high-strength shots).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStabilized Platforms:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed as a mobile firing platform, the suit includes heavy stabilizers that ground the model, reflecting its role as a stationary heavy-hitter that can withstand return fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAdvanced Sensor Arrays:\u003c\/b\u003e The suit features high-tech sensor and targeting systems, which can be modelled with optional heads or \"smart\" missile systems, giving it a high-tech, tactical appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDrone Support:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes specialized drones that can be modelled accompanying the suit to provide targeting assistance or defensive shielding, adding more narrative depth to your unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eAssembly and Painting Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePanel Lining:\u003c\/b\u003e T'au armor is characterized by its large, flat, smooth panels.
