Either I got bamboozled on ebay or they honestly did not have the instructions... anyway.. I have the model and I do not have the building instructions. Can someone please help that may have these instructions... couple of pictures.. or a scan would be so helpful.


Thank you

its easy to build. Did you get the FW one or a knock off? Build the riptide parts first. Then the guns. The little vile looking thingys go on the guns ( see thfe fw pic). The leg pads slide over, and the head and back parts fit into place. Dry fit everything first. Also wait and magnetize the hosing.

Is it white resin or yellow is? Does it smell like super glue or soap?


Did you get on sprue bits like a normal GW kit or was it 100% resin? how much did you pay?

Really makes no difference at this point. Rest of the army was put together...just need to put this and the xv109 together...109 has instructions

the 107 is much easier to assemble than the 109.

Also, there are virtually no instructions for the 107 - if I recall it was just an inventory list, and a picture of the model showing the resin parts in a different color.

Look closely at the pics on forgeworld and the normal riptide, that will help a lot.

If I recall -
Assemble the legs and torso.
Then you put the extra resin armor pieces on the legs, followed by the new big chest piece.

The arms are pretty striaghtforward (don't lose those little pieces) then figure out how you want them to look before gluing the shoulders to the weapons/body.

Here is a vid naming some of the parts...

I made mine a lot more complicated as I magnetized him to be either a 107 or a "normal" riptide.
(unless you are exceptionally experienced in magnets, I would not suggest this).
If you have never worked with a resin model before, check out the section on the fw site about working with them (advice on cleaning, glue, etc.).

Both are really cool models - I hope you enjoy them and your amry!

(I have not built my 109 yet, but he is on my 'build list' for later this year).

Ive never gotten a forgeworld kit that came with instructions-- even ordered directly from them.

The titans all come with instructions...but even something as large as my bloodthirster didn't have so much as a picture of the parts included. Easy enough to out together but still seems a little chinsy
