Encore les Taus?, 40K Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+

[sanguinius31]

De nouvelles rumeurs annoncent un énième codex Tau. Cependant une surprise pourrait faire partie du graal de ces xenos et en même temps ravir les vétérans de 40K. En effet, les squats pourraient faire partie du codex comme race ayant rejoint la cause du bien suprême.

You know, some days rumors come out of left field and just brings a giant grin to your face.  Read on for the latest round of 40k murmors to hit the tubes.

Demiurg will be returning with the TAU!
depending on printing problems it is possible they will be slated for November 2011 moving the Necrons back

Demiurg will be a troop choice and have t4 s5(with battle axe) 5+ 5+FNP(intoxicating save) and SAP but will be allowed to charge 6" instead of rolling
There is a squat HQ but no info yet.

Kroot are still in as well as the Firewarriors

Character unlocks crisis suits as troops and they have gotten much better.


Now, pulling the Squats back into the 40K tabletop as Tau allies makes a lot of sense, and we have already seen the Demiurg appear in Battlefleet Gothic.  Kinda sneaky, and in any case, HOORAY for any rumors related to Tau.

Personnellement, je ne pense pas que cette info soit viable. GW a annoncé et confirmé plusieurs fois que les squats ne faisait pas partie des races à developper dans le futur. Cependant, auraient ils succombé à la nostalgie ou à la pression du public. Attendons des confirmations.

HQ choices are used to unlock units for troops, so a commander in a crisis suit unlocks crisis suits as troops, an etheral unlocks fire warriors, shaper unlocks kroot, demiurg commander for demiurg as troops.

crisis suits-
mostly same stats but now 3 wounds
come with every gun option and you can choose what weapon systems you fire every round. cost (land speeder + extra HB) per model, squad size max 5

broadsides-
can take network markerlights instead of the missiles on their arms

and Ghost of War adds in:


Only the commander can take a shield generator. The shield generator functions exactly like the shadowfield for the dark eldar. 2+ until missed

Also...

Drones are no longer bought as wargear. They are bought as a unit and then divided as you see fit that the start of the match. You can mix your drones when bought for the point cost needed. This addresses the Drone Squadrens etc as an option.

So you could see who your playing and decided if your shield drones are needed more on the crisis or the broadsides.

One markerlight can fire the seekers off one model. Seekers replentish and are no longer one use items. = Skyrays will be the new WIN (only able to fire one model a round.. so no chain firing tons of missiles off a skyray)

He is right, nothing is troops until you unlock it with a HQ or character.

From my understanding ... 1 markerlight = 1 unit may use it to fire missiles. Thus 1 light = 1 skyray unloading its payload, 2 for two skyrays. Also I am pretty sure they fire from the tank so they will hit the armor the ray is facing. Stinger correct me if I am wrong?

The thing I think people are missing when they compair them to longfangs is. You can hide a skyray and have it dump its payload all day long.
