Tau XV88 Broadside Suits: Are Heavy Rail Rifles Useful?

Warhammer Tau Broadside Battlesuit

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

pathfinders warhammer tau

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. I found it far more difficult to pick a “definitive” best-off-list for the Tau Codex than I did for the Dark Angels. That is a good thing. It means there [...]

Sizing Up the XV104 Riptide

Tau Empires XV104 Riptide Battle Suit

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.

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 [...]

Tau Empire Up For Pre-Order

Tau Codex Cover

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 [...]
