It seems like the current codex gives them a really half baked version of what others have; missiles, but weaker with worse ap ... same with plasma ... skimmers, but they aren't fast, ect. The tau could be so much more interesting and have the chance to work under different game mechanics than the other races. Some fun.TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-71953618737903480962010-12-31T03:27:01.402-05:002010-12-31T03:27:01.402-05:00Ideally Tau vehicles should be able to zoom 24&quo...Ideally Tau vehicles should be able to zoom 24" like the Eldar. Heck, the Battlesuits should be able to do this too, allowing them to redeploy and stay away from the enemy.<br /><br />The biggest problem when I played Tau was their lack of speed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601198507521547192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-76611398666865885322010-12-30T23:54:06.372-05:002010-12-30T23:54:06.372-05:00Busted, seerk!Busted, seerk!TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-45037423737737541472010-12-30T23:33:11.094-05:002010-12-30T23:33:11.094-05:00Actually GW does plan that far in advance.

They had the Sisters of battle codex for third very well developed almost two years before it actually got released. Yes 40k and fantasy releases will be staggered but I bet they have a codex in testing right now. Also considering how long it takes to develop new models and figures and the equipment to make them I bet we see some leaks in the coming months<br /><br />Yes Kids SeerK use to work for GW.<br /><br /><br /><br />I think the skimmer idea sounds very Tau. Part of the problem with them is they are unable to really move around effectivly. They are supposed to be a guerilla style army that hits hard and then redeploys to exploit a confused enemy. I think a fast skimmer that allows deployment while moving flat out is very in character and would be a great addition.SeerKarandrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864552771430102654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-36336095978450128402010-12-30T23:19:34.867-05:002010-12-30T23:19:34.867-05:00I would put the "assault skimmer" in wit...I would put the "assault skimmer" in with the GW need to give every army "something" to back the weak point in a dex. Ogryns for guard come to mind (didn't say it was great, just there). I'd love to see a new race join the tau with a skimmer and a REALLY bad attitude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-7778055645087911862010-12-30T23:07:03.703-05:002010-12-30T23:07:03.703-05:00TKE, I agree, huge amount of if around these rumor...TKE, I agree, huge amount of if around these rumors, but they do seem very interesting especially in conjuction with the ones posted to BoLS a few months back.<br /><br />With the track of things, I actually would be happy to see sisters come out with a book, since the rumor mill has been steady on GK, Necrons, Black Templar. Tau could use the update, but as you said they seem pretty far out from it, but I tend to post things I find intriguing and the idea of Tau possibly becoming interesting from a gameplay standpoint is very intriguing to me.TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-81251836548204566532010-12-30T21:55:23.038-05:002010-12-30T21:55:23.038-05:00Just seems odd, as (surely) Necrons and SoBs are f...Just seems odd, as (surely) Necrons and SoBs are further along the track?<br /><br />GW rarely plan THAT far in advance, especially since we can expect 4-5 WFB books before Tau, if those 2 40k ones are both before them...TheKing Elessarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981821487098781957noreply@blogger.com
