Regardless of maths I still doubt GW would have done this, so again I highly doubt you can still take squads of 12.

Oh and grow up.

[Mr Mystery]

Reliable rumour mongers have confirmed they remain 12 strong.

[Kirsten]

they are still available in twelve man squads. this is not a rumour, it is on the instruction sheet for building fire warriors. strike teams in 12, and breachers in 10

Ok, I'll bite, why do you doubt it? The case for 12 man teams of fire warriors is,

1. It doesn't alienate the Tau players who have bought, based and converted 12 man squads over the last decade plus, and
2. It means newbs will be tempted to buy more boxes, heaven forefend GW might consider this 'A Good Thing'

What's the case against 12 man teams?

Oh and grow up.

Make me.

(You're much funnier on TV btw.)

the new fire warrior set comes with everything you need to make 13 fire warriors other than bases and torsos. so if you are desperate to make an extra couple, you can do it quite easily.

Now that is good to know.

I have 4 teams from the good old days, so I'm not exactly in the market, but ta.

It's too long ago to remember the particulars, but I do recall having enough spare bitz from my original Tau enthusiasm to covert an embedded journalist with fuzzy ball mic, a cameraman and a bodyguard standing drinking a beer.

I guess these days I'd use them as objective makers.

[Kirsten]

the sprues are jam packed, ten strike team helmets, ten breacher, ten pulse rifles, ten carbines, ten blasters, three or four bare heads, twenty shoulder pads...

[Cutter]

You almost make it sound tempting...

But no, I will remain strong.

[Kirsten]

well I bought three boxes of the new fire warriors, and if I went online and bought ten more fire warrior or pathfinder torsos, I would have enough bits left over from the three boxes to make another squad of ten. if you bought one new box you could add a nice sprinkling of bits to old fire warriors too.
