Tau Rumor Roundup

[energongoodie]

I'm pretty excited about all this.
I thought the Dark Eldar release was fantastic and the quality of models was great. I thought the Grey knights was very good and so far I have really liked the Necron models. I think if GW keep going as they are then the Tau release, with lots of interesting new models, could be very special indeed.
I am officially saving my pennies for some major Tau buying as of ..........NOW!

If the rumours run true and we get BT then Tau, I'm going to be in nerd nirvana.
I already have a roughly 2000+pt fully painted Tau force (plus extras), but had also started to re-do my old Smurfs into BT a little while ago (albeit slowly).

As far as Tau wishes, I'm a for-fun player, so more units will just add to the variety available. Tetras would be fun.
Knarloc riders would be entertaining as well (although this seems to be a no-go from what I've read).

I'm not sure how I feel about more new races being added...it fits the fluff of course, but I can see things getting really muddy if there are too many race choices.

More rumors added including the "Uber-suit" ...

See the first post.

The uber suit sounds mint. This is the sort of serious firepower Tau should be putting out, lets put the Necorns back in thier place and show how them technology really should be used. And I'm betting the 'big kroot' will be a greater Knarloc. I've been waiting for one of those since the days of Dark Cursade.

After the Dreadknight it seemed inevitable that the Tau would get an 'ubersuit' model and I for one am very interested.
I'm gonna go out on a ridiculous nerd limb and say it will be the best model GW has ever released ever! ( subject to change).
I'm getting a little bit excited about new Tau.

I'm just hoping the Uber-suit is based on one of the following three Battletech mechs named after an ancient weapon like the rumor said:

[URL="http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Warhammer"]Warhammer[/URL] (with rail gun arms would look ace!)
[URL="http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Catapult"]Catapult[/URL] (the legs would be right at least, and possibly with huge missile racks)
[URL="http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Archer"]Archer [/URL](kind of a general all-rounder)

I'm putting my bet on the Warhammer. How could they let the naming homage go...

Things ar elooking good for Tau!

I see them as being 3 armies in one, or a highly useful combo force

Tau - Very shooty. Extreme long range and high strength. Put the Necrons, Long Fangs and Grey Knights back in their place
Kroot - Light assault, harrying units. More skirmishers than outright fighting power houses.
Demigurg - Heavy Assault, Big War Machines, but all very expensive models
