Like it says on the tin.
Through a new source, who with hindsight turned out to be pretty accurate with Blood Angels and Skaven....
Pencilled in release date of Aug 2011
New Alien allies
All metal sets to plastic (Pathfinder, Krootox, Vespids)
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.
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....
On a side line, yes other armies might deserve attention quicker, but Tau currently are a: majority plastic b: play well currently.
More to come soon....
Tau
New Heavy support platform. Basically immobile deep striked! heavy weapon and crew. Rail and Ion Cannon, and missile launcher are all obvious options here, but nothing solid with the rumor.
Assault Skimmer. Something between size of piranha and hammerhead, fast skimmer open topped, assault on disembark.
New Drop ship. Not the FW one, but something new. Holds a boatload of fire warriors, or a few battle suits.
New battle suits. Not sure if these are the "next gen" suits or just heavy suits redone with out metal bits.
Je suis mitigé sur l'ensemble.... impatient mais le coup du "nerf" des armures c'est reloud.... 2 armes et un système ou 2 systèmes et 1 arme...ca c'est un peu plus chiant... de même que le nouveau système de cibleurs...
En revanche, de nouveaux véhicules, le coup du railgun du hammerhead qui se transforme en brochette géante, de nouvelles plateformes de tir arme lourde... l'abandon du devil pour les cibleurs et des taux équipés pour le close avec un véhicule type raider Elfe noir....
Vivement 2011!!!!!
