[Rumour] Tau

[ash]

From BOLS:

Pencilled in release date of Aug 2011

-New Alien allies
-All metal sets to plastic (Pathfinder box, Kroot with hounds and Shaper , Vespids)
-Box of Krootox and possible larger
-Possible new tank
-Changes to Hammerhead Railgun rules. Essentially draws a line across table hitting everything in line. Multiple pen through vehicles, only stopped by a glancing hit.
-Changes to markerlights. Point system. 1 Markerlight point = + 1BS, 2 Markerlight points = reroll to wound/hit 3 = Difficult Terrain test (blinded by the lights?). Cannot be stacked. So cant have reroll to wound and reroll to hit at 4 points. ( I need him to explain this a bit more...)
-Battle Suits. A plug and play system. Essentially streamlined. Pick two guns and a skill or two skills a gun. New models might have interchangeable arms similar to Killa Kans....
-Pathfinders no longer have to take Devilfish (probably infiltration)
-No human auxilary in list... (whatever Tau call captured guard who fight for them)

Thank god they finally fixed that pathfinder bullcrap with the devilfish, that always annoyed the hell out of me. The railgun makes a bit more sense too now.

Interesting...wee bit of skepticism, but I'll see how they turn out. Surely the codex can only get better - we can't get moar nerfed
