Tau vs Space marines Boxed Set

[YorkNecromancer]

i don't think the old ones are large at all, what i don't like about the new ones is they look larger to me

They have GIANT BABY HEADS!!!

looking at the WD cover with the Ghostkeel suit, that is October 10th. it mentions having rules for a mini game using the Stormsurge, so the stormsurge is probably first out, pre-order on the 3rd of October perhaps.

[Hendrik Booraem VI]

Regardless, there's clearly NOT going to be a Stormsurge in a boxed set. There might be an XV95 with some stealth suits a la Assassination Force or whatever the boxed set was called. I would laugh to see an XV95 and three Stealths against an Imperial Guard platoon with Command Squad, and no Spehss Mahreens.

Although I would also be sad, since I play Spehss Mahreens, and my son plays Tau. But then my six-year-old wants to play Imperial Guard, so it would be a win anyway.

Some Close up shots of the new Suit. They also come pre socketed for magnets and tells you what size to get in the manual.

[Kirsten]

fantastic

[CoffeeGrunt]

Do want. What sorta size are the cannons at the back? Do you reckon they're about the right size to represent Earthshaker Cannons?

[Kirsten]

they look too large to be earthshakers to me, but I may well be wrong

Hopefully I'll find someone who'll do a comparison. If they look the part, then they'll make cheaper, cooler Earthshakers for my Gue'vesa Guard. Bigger gun would really be a detriment either. :P

[Kirsten]

would you not be better off modding a hammerhead railgun for a few quid?

[CoffeeGrunt]

Doesn't look the part, and the stats for the Supremacy Suit's gun are closer. I've used Ion Cannons from the Hammerhead in the past, which look alright, but this would look epic. Could scratch-build the mountings for cheap as well.
