Tau XV88 Suits – Broadsides – are one of the Tau Empire units that got both an awesome new plastic kit and a bunch of interesting new options with the new 6th Edition Tau Empire Codex. As I am tinkering around with the new Tau Codex for Warhammer 40K, I drafted a first Tau army list [...]
The Best Tau Empire Units by FOC – A Hit List
The new Tau Codex for Warhammer 40K is a great book to delve into. There are endless combinations of different units, equipment-options and abilities. Great fun.

XV8 Crisis Suits get to pick [...]

Tau Empire Up For Pre-Order
Games Workshop made the new Tau Empire miniatures (and Codex) available for pre-order. I dare say this has been one of the “better leaked” releases. The internet-rumour-mill was largely blindsided by a few of the recent minor releases (Crusade of Fire notably). Yet, whatever it took to open up old or new source, its appears to [...]
