Actually I thought those three words were very necroney, tau are all for the greater good, whatever that may entail. Control, order, and blind obedience was more of a necron thing, even in the old fluff

When you do something right people wont be sure that you've done anything at all.
You can't simply assume that because you or I spend time on BoLS or similar sites then everyone who plays 40k does. I was back into the game for many, many months before I ventured on here and only three of the twelve regulars in my gaming group read BoLS/Warseer et al at all.
As for whether this 'new' strategy of GW's works or not, only time will tell. I personally don't care one way or the other and it hasn't impacted my spending at all.

Exactly, If I understand the tau codex correctly, the tau empire prefer to absorb other cultures though commerce and negotiation. Anyone who joins the Tau empire appears to have something to gain for themselves and in turn contribute to the "greater good" only when necessary are the fire caste called in to start shooting. As a long term Tau player and having read the FW book, if I had to be in a 40k army then the Tau Empire would be where I would want to be.

Of course not. I'm not assuming that.
But why have your first 'official' teaser come well after the internet rumour-mongering part of the community is WELL AWARE of what the army looks like and, by and large, what its rules will be like?
Why not have the teaser come earlier, and have the stuff we've already seen coming now?
It just makes more sense.
All this does is make GW appear to have an even greater disconnect with a large part of their player base/reality/the internet.
As far as the teaser goes, I liked it. Ok we have seen the models and the rumours about the rules may well be true, but still GW are going to release Necrons their way. Maybe they have something hidden up their sleaves. Either way I can wait a bit longer and am really excited.

Why not? They think it helps their sales, that if people don't know what is coming more than a week or two ahead they will be more likely to make purchases rather than save their money. Imagine if you knew for a fact that after Necrons there would be Tau then Eldar. You have an interest in Necrons or Tau but you are primarily an Eldar player. Would you spend as much on Necrons or Tau than you would if you had no idea about Eldar? Now, imagine three weeks ago you were thinking of buying some Ogres or Dark Eldar or something, and you heard Necrons were coming. Would you still buy those kits? GW believes it is better you buy those not knowing what is around the corner and then you will hopefully buy more when they announce something new. Whether or not it works as they hope is an open question, but it does make sense.
Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!
cuts both ways though.
Im interestead in VC's but without know whats going to be valid in a few months time if anything then I'm not going to touch the army with a 10 foot pole.
