Tau XV109 Y'Vahra Battlesuit pre-order

[Brakkart]

That is one seriously nasty piece of kit. Gorgeous model and decent rules to back it up. Nicely done Forgeworld.

Totes going to have to bug them about Wraithknight goodies at Warhammerfest.

[Gamgee]

Those rules! Oh my god. It's about time Tau got something awesome. Please don't nerf. Regular Tau Empire really needs this.

[Defenestratus]

Good news Chaos players!! You got your Heldrake back!!!!

[CoffeeGrunt]

This suits my favourite Tau playstyle beautifully. You can keep your boring gunlines, I want up close and personal firepower, I wanna dance with Daemons in the pale ion-light!

[daboarder]

Yeah I am just shaking my head....what idiot do they let keep writing rules for these tah suits.

A S6 Ap 2 Torrent Heavy 2 ! Flamer.....

So is this the first unit to carry a non D weapon system in the game that stands a real chance of one shotting an Imperial Knight?

Nova charge ionic thinger majig with a BS of 4 has a chance of scoring a good number of hits if backed by some markerlights. Then each shot that hits has a passing chance of at least stripping off two hull points for each failed save. Though I don't think blind works on walkers so that seems more like a fluffy thing to me considering it's focus seems to be anti vehicular.

I don't see how a 6" Torrent Flamer is OP when for 45pts cheaper you can get an S8 AP2 Large Blast from a 104. For 230pts you could field a lot of Plasma Crisis Teams to choke Terminators in AP2 fire.

Doesn't work like that. You just get more Hits and resolve Saves against them like anything else. It's not a Glance that turns into two Glances if you fail the save.

Indeed a very nice riptide variant with closecombat (tauwise) abilitys - great rules too.
