My sources have said May for a release. In any case, in the coming weeks we should start to see some leaks. That BL Tau book doesn't hurt our chances either.

20 points for a 2+ save is basically iridium armor for every suit. Is it worth it? Maybe...Do you want to give up that 2d6 assault move for a 1d6 assault move? That's the question. BS4...
Listen to what Aegwymourn says. You don't need a black sun filter to shoot a markerlight on a tetra as they can see and shoot 36" at night and there are no saves against markerlights either. The...
I'm thinking tell him to bring a list with him at various point levels to start followed by a vulcan death grip to the max. If he's writing a list after you all decide to play he is in effect...
Plasma is the way to go w/ fusion you are just asking to get assaulted then bye bye suit. Those pigma pens work wonders and should make your suit standout even more. I really like the pose however...
I hope you're right alshrive about the new crisis suits. They better be out of this world mech cool, no forgeworld xv84/xv89 crap. Total redesign would be nice. I'm partial to the original xv8...
I run a small Blood Raven detachment as my allies in my 2k list.
Allies:
HQ:
-Librarian
Troops:
-(10)man Tactical Squad
-Plasma Gun
-Drop pod
I don't run A.S.S. on my xv88's but I'm pretty sure they all have to be equipped the same. They're more of a sit in cover don't move all game w/ 2 shield drones wrapped by kroot kind of unit w/ good...
+1 to more Tau books. In most books they put up a good fight only to fall at the end. That coin needs to be flipped.
I run a Blood Ravens army as well, I think a Storm Talon would be a nice add. I just finished up one I was working on. I'm using it as an Ally to my Tau army and put Devilfish engines on it as well...
In 2001 or so I walked into a hobbytown looking for r/c car stuff which i was into at the time and came across a box of firewarriors and was hooked right away. I'm now upwards of 4-5k points of Tau....
Hey EP, I like your thinking. I'm running Van SM allies too. And run a similar list but w/o the devilfish. I'd suggest the kroot as well. My last game I infiltrated a 20 man sqd. and dropped a pod...
***Whatever you do, DO NOT buy your models from ebay sellers promising you forgeworld items new in the package. There are a few sellers on there selling items that they are making themselves and...
I'd much rather have a broadside with a targeting array or bsf and a 4+ invuln. Broadsides don't need to move and they surely shouldn't be supported by a marker drone when we have tetras dropping 4...
If you want to snapshot at flyers you have to hit them w/ a markerlight on a 6 and grant that shot over to a seeker missile which at which point will hit on a 2+. Honestly, get a aegis line and that...
Can't help w/ the GK side but as far as your tau allies go I'd like to see more shots coming from your crisis teams. TL Plasma is nice @ 12" and in but outside of that where crisis suits excel your...
Anyone know if the tetra gets a run move after it shoots markerlights? Considering it's not really firing a weapon of damage. Just curious. The more I play them the more people go after them full...
Beast of war is a joke. Totally Clueless!!
Like the dynamic poses and the underslug missile pod on the arm.
I didn't have a problem w/ necrons in 5th, however with the emphasis on troops so much now and not so many vehicles, they have become a little harder. Gauss immortals and warriors are hard to down...
Broadsides can move 6" and still fire and get granted the slow and purposeful rule however you have to take the A.S.S. but if you do you lose overwatch. I run them in pairs now since target locks got...
I watched your video last night, very informative. I think the remora could be nasty, I'm hoping it gets the same burst cannons as the hammerhead variant S6 AP4 w/ the seekers you could do some...
Got a feeling each army is going to have a different ally. IG get GK, Chaos get daemons, etc. Being a tau player we need more survivable troops, hoping for a space marine alliance personally.
I agree necrons are shooty but tau are still pretty shooty. I mean that's all we do, necron armies run wraiths, scarabs, assault units, etc. The only thing they have that is shooty is ghost arcs,...
Sorry you feel that way Panxer. Infinity is a good game from what I've heard, if you like tau xv8's a lot try out dreampod9's heavy gear line. 28mm mech suits that look a lot like tau. Hopefully a...
