Hello all, I am first an for most a guard player. However I have been thinking about getting a second army some time and tau is at the top of my list as of right now. Is there anything I should know or consider when looking into tau? The main reason I would like then as a second army as of right now is because I want an army of robots, and these guys kinda remind me of mech assualt (if anyone remembers that game). Now I am still working in a guard army as of right now but this is just something I would like to consider.

To be honest mate it's up to you. Don't need to ask opinions to collect a new army.

Tau was my first army in 40k, I would reccomend you getting some of the tau stuff you like on the cheap atm as tau supposely will get a new book this year.
obvious do not get the codex unless its almost free, xv8 crisis will most likely be redone too, but they go pretty good with some FW parts.( I mix and match FW suits and GW ones)
What I would reccomend getting is piranhas before their price goes up, some firewarriors and kroot on the cheap.

I heard recently that Tau is the next army in line for a GW overhaul. New Codex, battle suits, and even a possible Monstrous Creature (like a really big Mech), the works. Tau were always a cool looking army in my opinion. I'd like to pick some up sometime.

Thanks for the input, I was just mostly wondering if an almost purely battle suit tau army would be good? As that is what I was thinking of doing if not then what should I do to start off my collection?

It'd be interesting to see. Almost anything can be put on a battlesuit configuration currently but might be worth waiting a couple of months to see if they get a new codex with new toys/suits.
In fact.. *sends moles forth* I shall PM you if they find anything about Tau codex release schedule.

Are the Tau really getting updated next? this might be good  or bad ... I don't like the idea of more price hikes but let us see what the future holds. |
