So today we were treated to a new batch of Tau rumors. The list of updates seem fair, and I’m glad to see Tau get an update now with 6th on the horizon rather than mid 5th where they could potentially be left hanging like Tyranids. I really hope GW hits gold with this codex- it would be great to see Tau restored and reborn to the table- more xenos to break up all the marine vs. marine action at tournaments.
Rumors that interest me personally?
Demiurg are added to the book, functioning "like Dwarves in Fantasy," with ponderous, low-AP guns and strong melee attacks. Hrud are present as well.
Man, the chance to play squats again would really bring me back to my GW roots. Could these guys be a mini-codex like Kroot so to speak- you could play them as their own army be it very limited in scope- maybe a troops choice and a heavy support only? Or with Demiurg just be a heavy support option?
Hrud could be very interesting also either solo or count-as with Tau. Done right the Tau codex could open up so much more then Tau, while bringing lots of players to start a new army. Either way, Tau are long overdue.
That said, the Black Templar in me is becoming very agitated. Tau are filthy xenos, worse for the fact that they consort with mutant-humans, bug-aliens, and shadow creatures. The only thing worse than aliens is aliens hanging out with aliens! If ‘Templars are up soon I might just have to launch a new crusade!
