I was wondering if GW ever made metal Tau Crisis Suits. I know some of their weapons used to be metal and I just discovered that their feet were metal but what about the rest? Thanks guys. I can't find an exact answer to this. :\

There were never any fully metal Crisis Suits. While there were some hybrid kits, notably the Command Suit and the old Broadside kits, that had metal parts, there were no XV8 or XV88 suits that were fully metal.

Man, I wish there was a real Black Library where I could get a Black Library Card and take out Black Library Books without having to buy them. Of course, late fees would be your soul. But it would be worth it. - InquisitorMack |

Yup.
The old XV88 broadsides had metal railguns, metal SMS arms (the pods were mounted on metal arms), and feet.
The commander box had metal weapons and parts.
No all-metal XV suits apart from Stealth suits. No XV8 suits were all-metal.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

Like the others said, mostly just metal parts. The original Farsight kit had a metal shield generator, and entire crisis suit arm holding a sword and special antennas for the crisis suit head, the rest was a stock XV8 kit.
