This is a great way to start creating a Tau army for warhammer 40k. It has one Tau Crisis XV8 Battlesuit, one Devilfish APC, three Tau XV25 Stealth Suits, one Markerlight Drone, six Gun Drones, twelve Tau Fire Warriors, and twelve Kroot Carnivores. Assembly is definitely required so have glue, and paints at hand. Just keep in mind this is a basic army. It will be torn apart by heavy units so adding more crisis suits, broadsides, a hammer head (or 2), or Vespid squad is highly advised. If you prefer a heavier army with no kroot you might want to look at the Megaforce instead.

Bought this recently from this seller, and it couldn't be any more perfect than i expected. This is a great set to start out with if you're getting into the Tau Empire Army. It has all the essentials to get the basics of the Tau Empire army. It comes with a HQ, 2 Troop choices, an elite squad, and a transport. It couldn't be anymore perfect than that to start a new Tau army of just to bolster up for existing forces.

It's also great bang for you buck because if you calculate all those models retail it will cost you about the same as buying two of these battleforces. If you got the money in which i don't(college student) i bought 1 of these bad boys, but do yourself a favor and buy 2 or more, because honestly, it pays for itself once you find out how great these Battleforces are in terms of price and the overall enjoyment you'll have fighting the enemies of the Tau'va. For the Greater Good!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great choice for jump starting your Tau army., July 13, 2010

If you are like me you like having lots of models in your Warhammer 40k army, which is why this is great choice if you are starting out or if you want to boost your existing army.
This set contains a Fire warrior team of 12 models, a Kroot carnivore kindred of 12 models, 6 gun drones, a Stealth team of 3 models, a Devilfish and a Crisis battlesuit which is by itself quite formidable. Each model has a wealth of customization ranging from simple positioning of the Fire warriors to the extensive battlesuit conversions (check them out at [...], you will be amazed) which means no two models have to look the same!
Another great thing is the value, purchased individually the models would cost over $100!
My only complaint is that there is only one Crisis suit in the box which is a shame because in my opinion they are the best models in the army.
If you are a tau fan you owe it to yourself to try this set out.
