Is this "Leaked" Tau Codex Fake?

Sorry if it has been answered / discussed elsewhere. Couldn't find it!

I would say defiantly fake, format is wrong too many named characters, without including old characters, some of the squads names would be silly even for GW.

It also is not formatted anything like GW does, and uses a different style and tone of language and wording. It looks more like a giant wishlist incorporating every GW and Forgeworld unit ever made all rolled into one, with some new stuff thrown in for good measure.

In short...

ITS A FAKE!!!

yeah and the fact that every special charcter has 4 wounds and is a eternal warrior, hell i only made it through that part and knew it was a fake lol

I wouldn't even go so far as to say fake as that woud imply some deliberate attempt to pass it off as a genuine article, but there clearly is no such effort here. More likely just a fandex that someone has erroneously labelled as 'leaked' to drum up interest.

I was going to say, It's a Rake, It's a Snake, It's a Jake. :P

The "-1 ld to any psykers for each battlesuit within 24" " made me laugh, too. That's an absurdly good psychic defense. With the Aegis, at least, you have to target the Grey Knights and the effects are not cumulative. Any Tau player with even just a handful of battle suits (e.g. every single one right now) would basically be immune to all psychic powers. And the rest of the special rules are equally absurd.

So, yeah. Fake.

penal gang? in tau?

Hey Phil, didn't we teach you that anything that's too good to be true with the Tau usually isn't ;-)

lol

did you see the wargear on those firewarriors? Rifle, Carbine, Pistol, Close Combat weapon, grenades this grenades that, stubborn, counter-attack, free flamers.

This is more than a fan-dex. This is an "I want to win without having to actually play the game fan dex"
