I just recently decided to play tau since 5th edition and recently picked up the new codex with a couple Hq's. Now I'm really debating on the Riptide but I'm not sure it's worth it. I have read many mixed reviews. Is it worth the buy, and how to I efficiently run him? Thanks!

Thanks for the advice! I may just have to get a couple of them. So you all would say get a Riptide over more broadsides or warriors?

I just bought myself a Riptide to try out.I plan on buying one of each of the forgeworld models after a couple months here. Thank you for the advice!

I am currently assembling my new Riptide. I plan on fielding him next week for the first battle. Am looking forward to seeing how he fares. Definitely trying out a couple layouts that was suggested. Should be fun!
