Riptide Battlesuit Magnetization Recommendations

The T'au XV104 Riptide Battlesuit is a single large suit with swappable primary weapons (heavy burst cannon vs ion accelerator), secondary weapons (smart missile system vs plasma rifle vs fusion blaster), and a shielded missile drone. The recommendations below cover weapon swaps, the 80mm base, and flight-stand options.

Use 3mm x 2mm disc magnets for the side-arm options, the same size used across all T'au Battlesuits.

Use 6mm x 2mm disc magnets for the main weapon swaps (primary cannon and secondary).

Base Magnets for Riptide Battlesuit

The Riptide sits on an 80mm base. For the flight stand, the Large Flat - Tall is the recommended choice and pairs cleanly with a magnetic miniature case for transport.

For a drilled base magnet, use the Large Thick Flush-Fit Base Magnets, 6mm x 2.6mm. Use 1 magnet if you transport the base separately, or 2 if you transport the model on its flight stand inside the base.

If you want a base with magnet holes already preset so the magnets cannot pop out, use the 120mm oval premagnetized base.
