Lt. Colonel Remo Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 angst. Angst? What Angst? OT: I find the Imperium of Man to be a bit overrated, but at least pretty interesting. It's got nothing on Leto II from Dune, but its still interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Unclean One: VK Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Taufag here. Underwent the Tau Baptism. You guys will never know the hell I went through to become a "true" Tau player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 So basically you just put up with your army being unplayable for the best part of an edition? The game forms the greater part of my social life, I wouldn't have a lot of the friends I do have without it. Which is an odd odd thought. Also the title should be changed to 40,000, not 4,000. Is this going to be a just a vague discussion or something where we can discuss new releases and stuff as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 The Tau Baptism is basically having everyone at your gamestore hate your guts, treat you like shit, try to fuck up your army via breaking the minis or hiding it, gang up on you in Apoc, and try to stop you from having fun at all. Why? Because I just happen to play Tau. Only thing is, it never stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Why do people around your Area hate Tau? There are many worse armies out there. Tau are enjoyable to play against so long as you don't try and out shoot them... And really, Apocalypse is the bigger problem, it stopped being fun ages ago.

Great Unclean One: VK Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Not just here. Most other places, namely GW stores. The fanbase hates Tau due to being "out of place" or being inspired by Macross, Battletech, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Wow... I've yet to see anyone hate an army for that reason. I've seen people who've hated them for how they play or codex changes, but not that. Unless these are the kind of people who take it way to seriously. And wait, they hate Tau for being inspired by that, but not Necrons for being obvious terminator rip offs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Oh no, New/Oldcron get a pass for being grimdark. They also hate Tau for trying to be good guys. And plot armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Your area is so different to mine. Then again mine mostly hate 40k and play Fantasy instead. That'll probably change when Tau are redone. They'll become as dark and grim as the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I hope not. One of the things I like about the old Tau and current Tau is how they're still "good" at least compared with everyone. And with the current Tau, they're starting to change. They're no longer nice and happy as before. Now they're starting to become more grim and dark, not all the way, but starting to become dark. A nice mix to be honest.

Aerion Brightflame Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Tau won't be as dark as the other books, but they'll still be darker. Mostly I'm just intrested to see which route they'll take Tau rulewise. Given that new Alien allies will naturally be a thing, I want to see if the army will become more mobilized, or remain a static gunline army.

Great Unclean One: VK Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Tau combat tactics rely on shooting and moving rapidly. All good Tau players do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I want to see a more combat orientated unit though. Or at least an improvement to Kroot. All the races are getting units that make up for there shortcomings. Like Lychguard for Necrons. Tau have a lot of potential for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Kroot are expected to gain assault vehicles and more Kroot units. LIKE GIANT KROOTOX, FUCK YEAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Wouldn't suprise me if a lot of the Forge World stuff made it's way into the Codex, after the Trygon and Valkyries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 XV9's, Tetras, and Barracuda along with Kroot units are expected to be moved there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 There will be a combat, or at least a short range battlesuit unit I imagine. New flyer kit, and a few new special characters. Mostly just the usual expected stuff for a new release, update of some models, release of the new stuff, and finecast of others. Changes to the Markerlight system will be intresting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 From what I hear, I hate it. The Snap Fire thing sounds nice, but I can't bump up my FW and stuff to BS5? Sounds like a nasty trade off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 What's the Rumours about it? I've not heard anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Markerlights can increase Snap Fire against Flyers from 6+ to 5+. They still retain the ability to boost BS but can only use 1 Markerlight and max at BS4 instead of BS5 like in the current one. Nothing else so far. Also apparently Ethereals now grant army wide Ld boosts and causes Tau FW to gain 2/3 Salvo. Meaning two shots fired if they're close then 15" but fires 3 shots if they're farther then 15".

Aerion Brightflame Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Salvo isn't that, Salvo is the Psycannon ruling where you get more shots when you don't move. That sounds fair to me actually. Being able to gun down most flyers with basic troops is a lovely bonus for the army, and fits in thematically. BS5 Basic troops is just stupid anyhow, I don't think I would miss that going. Etherials just need to have a reason to get used besides getting them killed as soon as possible for Preferred Enemy. I've even seen someone ally with Inquisitor Karamazov just to do that turn one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
