Warhammer 40K Tau Special Characters! Tau was the first 6th Edition Codex which received new special characters. After lamenting the lack thereof in the Chaos Space Marines and Dark Angels Codex, I am excited to see some fresh blood added to the roster again. Time to take a closer look! #1 – Commander Farsight Hero […]
I’ve written a few posts on the new Tau Codex for Warhammer 40K. I have not yet addressed the elephant in the room: the new XV104 Riptide Battlesuit. The Riptide is the biggest, most impressive miniature for the new range. It’s the answer to all those years of “big Tau robo-suit” wishlisting. It is also […]
A staple of all Tau armies are the XV8 Crisis Suit teams. Both in the 4th Edition and in the new 6th Edition, a wide selection of options are available to customize the load-out of Crisis Suit teams to different needs (Tau skipped the “no-armoury” age of 5th Edition). XV8 Crisis Suits get to pick […]
The new 6th Edition Tau Empire Codex is the second Warhammer 40K Codex written by the “new” kid on Games Workshop’s Codex writer-team: Jeremy Vetock. Codex Dark Angels was his first. Looking more in-depth at the new Tau Empire Codex, I can’t help but make comparisons between the two books. And while there’re some good […]
Finally, I had the time to page through the new Tau Empires Codex a bit. Slow delivery and all means I’ll probably have to wait until next week-end to give the Codex a quality reading. Still, in my initial page-flipping, there are a few things that struck me as nice changes or additions for the […]
I have to admit, I am not really collecting my Warhammer 40K books in digital formats yet. Not that I don’t have an iPad or other devices I could use them on. There simply aren’t many savings on Games Workshop’s digital Codexes over the paper-copy, not to mention that the latter re-sells better on eBay […]
It appears that the new Tau Empire miniatures for Games Workshop’s flagship game of Warhammer 40K will be arriving at local gaming stores, independent retailers and online “e-tailers” with a week or two of delay. Presumably, it will not affect anyone ordering directly from GW. Shame be he who thinks evil of it! #1 – United Kingdom – […]
I am an avid reader of Black Library books. These days, I probably read more Warhammer 40K novels from Black Library than I play Warhammer 40K. Like the products for Warhammer 40K the game by the Games Workshop studio, Black Library… made a strong move towards pricier premium products – mainly hardcovers, limited editions and […]
As if on cue with the latest Games Workshop teaser video, more – and better – pictures for the upcoming Tau Empire release have appeared over on Freak Factory. The new Tau Special Characters are no longer a speculation! The pics are here! Have a look! #1 – New Broadside Suits #2 – Tau Bomber […]
Games Workshop YouTube teasers for new releases tend to be very minimalist affairs. That said, I think their recent outing isn’t all bad. The Tau Teaser was posted on Games Workshop’s blog today. I quite like it. Unlike previous teasers, it actual seems to use the new models, if obscured by smoke and other effects, […]
