So.. I'm building my new crisis suits (First box I got of the new crisis suits) and I notice that for the 3 Crisis Suits, you get 4 front plates for the torso. 3 that look basicaly the same with only detail diferences, And one that looks diferent, With a larger piece at the center.. Does anyone know what this one diferent front is for?

Here, https://www.games-workshop.com/en-SE/XV8-Crisis-Battlesuits If you look on the website, The white suits have the front that looks mostly the same, And the red suit has a diferent looking front..

I believe it's meant to be for Commanders or Iridium suits, but it's not a hard-and-fast rule as far as I know (I'd be confident not many would notice).

Well, the commander has his own box so I dont think it is commander. Iridium, Maybe.. Can regular crisis suits take that..? Hmmm.. Maybe it is just for the Shas'vre..?

The Commander boxed set is Enforcer and Coldstar suits, but you can take one in just a standard XV-8 Crisis. Have a look at the old commander model (who constantly falls over):

Crisis Shas'vre and Bodyguard Crisis's can take Iridium.

It's an upgrade for Shas'Vres, which are unit commanders. It's made to have them stand out.

Thanks for the replies ^_^

This multi-part plastic kit contains everything needed to build three XV8 Crisis Battlesuits, with six accompanying drones. There’s an impressive level of customisation available, with ball fittings allowing unprecedented posability. One miniature can be optionally assembled as a Shas’vre, with special head and chest plate, and there’s a prodigious amount of advanced Tau weaponry in the box: four plasma rifles, three flamers, four fusion blasters, four burst cannons, three missile pods and three shield generators. The six accompanying drones can each be built as gun, shield or marker variants and an assortment of battlesuit electronics systems are included. One model in the kit can even be built as the new, experimental Iridium-class XV8-02 Crisis Battlesuit - distinguishable by its thicker armour and aggressive appearance. Huge variety!

From the description, it's either the Shas’vre or Iridium armor.

A Shas’vre in Iridium armor?
