GW: Advent Calender

[Lexington]

Like the idea of new rules/formations, assuming they don't break things. Couple bucks per isn't a bad price, either.

Dislike the idea of special "second ally" slots for these and these alone.

[Lord Lorne Walkier]

That is very astute! I did not even think about the direct comparison to the [URL="http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440286a&prodId=prod2290 024a"]Tau Empire Firebase Support Cadre[/URL] product. Well, a quick run through the catalog should tell us what ~12 of these releases should include. I restate my original demands:

GW SANTA: MAKE ME A RED TERROR!!!

So to continue the thought line...

What else could even make a dataslate?

[Houghten]

A non-Apocalypse Datasheet?

What.

[Mr Mystery]

Adds variety!

Plus, I kind of like the idea of rebel Tau, acting as Mercenaries.

Or indeed, a cunning form of forward military recon!

Or for my Necrons, some seriously mind shackled dakka!

[The Dave]

A non-Apocalypse Datasheet?

What.

That's what I'm asking. If it's an Apoc Data Sheet, then it has it's own rules for fielding that in your Apoc army, whatever that includes. I'm sure people aren't forgetting that in Apoc you can bring however much of whichever armies you want as your Apoc force, with no force-org attached. In 40k, you can only bring your army, one ally, fortification(s), and if you're playing an Imperial Army you get the Inquisition stuff too (but that's it).

It says "40k datasheet" but it could still be implying "Apoc". I R Confuzled.

Apparently it has very specific information on it that specifies that its for normal games of 40k - not Aporkalypse.

So, it gives broadsides and riptides tank hunter (that means we have longstrike, puretide chips, and now this as anti-armor options. I have not seen this much vehicle hatred since Carron from Dawn of War) and preferred enemy space marines.

It also allows non-tau players to have broadsides and a riptide without the fire warrior/hq tax if they wanted.

I also find it a bit humorous that space marines have both hatred against and are battle brothers with this formation.

Pictures and rules information [URL="http://www.3plusplus.net/2013/12/dataslates/"]here[/URL].

Basically like INQ, can be used by anyone with appropriate ally level with Tau and does not take up ally slot and includes tank hunting/preferred enemy space marine Broadsides (2x3x) and Riptide.

[daboarder]

they can figure out how to give tau even MORE rules and goodies, but they can't figure out how to write an index astartes articles with rules for a legion warband.....good job GW, ****heads!
