I am following this with interest. I won't be getting the iBook, but if it gets good reviews I might consider getting it in hardcopy of it's released in that format eventually since my Tau are going to be modeled on the renegade Tau model...

reading the fluff so far in the farsight supplement, they used a EMP on mass imperial tanks, then send in the kroot, the footage were never broadcast on official tau channels, though farsight reported seen it a few times. LOL! this is how a African wild dog'kroot' kills and eats their prey...
among farsight's equals are shadowsun, and kais from the fire warrior game, presumably.
the commander with earth caste developed fist took a titan blast and barely survived, to this day he serve farsight in a new suit like vader's which serve as a life support system and death machine.
the puretide nuero chips were forcibly removed leaving the pilot as simpletons, one of farsight's Lt's was scheduled to be removed, but he 'died' and was burned into unrecognizable crisp in the last battle. Aun'va looked at farsight for a long while, then walked away.
more to come later..

3++ has more info: www.3plusplus.net/2013/07/farsight-enclave-tau-supplement/Much more significant changes than the Iyanden Dex. They lose a lot of good stuff from the Signature Systems list and have to shell out for Bonding on any Unit that can, but do get some cool compensations, including an IC Riptide, and the Troops Crisis Teams everyone was hoping for. The Warlord Trait list also doesn't look as impressive as the basic Tau one. |

just finish reading the whole farsight enclave supplement, aun'shi is the only welcome ethereal there, farsight respects aun'va. his dawnblade steals lifeforce and gives it to him(need to kill lots of orks as their lifespan is quite short), but he doesn't know, though he suspects.
the new tau tech was 'accidentally' diverted to the enclaves by sympathizers along with a prominent young commander in stasis.
some of the signature items are bit expensive for their use, though I am liking the new warscaper drone(additional ability to gun/shield or marker, gives the unit move through cover, outflank, acute senses and make all enemy units outside of deployment zone and within 12" of the drone treat difficult as dangerous. I'm thinking a drone like that attach to a stealth unit would make havoc
fusion blade, earth caste pilot array and talisman of arthas moloch is good to respectable. The other 2 sig system is too expensive and isn't even that good.

Fusion Blade seemed kind of expensive for a PowerFist that has a chance of breaking and taking your gun with it. The WarScaper Drone and Earth Caste Piloting Array (on a Riptide, of course, to maximise the benefits) seem like the real winners in their Armoury.
