Today Forgeworld released updates for two of their models, including Irillyth, the Shade of Twilight and our Tau VX107 R'varna Battlesuit along with the new model and rules for the Achilles-Alpha Pattern Land Raider.
Here is the link for the new rules:

Like mentioned earlier, the rules for the R'varna overtook a heavy nerf!
- Shield generator lost it's 4++ save against shooting attacks
- The only support systems you can now take are: Positional Relay and Stimulant Injector
- Pulse sumunitions cannons AP dropped from 3 to 4
- a Note was added which states that the weapons won't benefit from the Storm of Fire special rule
- Feel no Pain can no longer negate a Nova Reactor failure
- when you choose Volley Fire you can't fire the weapons in the subsequent turn
That's it. In comparsion to the first rules the new version feels like a let down. But on the other hand they were really overpowered. I played some Apocalypse games with him and on his flank he was the game maker. The R'varna is still very good and a great choice for the Heavy Support slot!
Have you played with the XV107 yet? Please share your experience with us in an comment below!
