Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Codex V.9 Tau Empire (En)

Product Information

No specific release date was given,but GWsaid it wouldbe one ofthe “first new codexes coming in 2022”. Strength and toughness three are both on the low end of the scale, but 4+ armor compensates somewhat for the latter. This contained two new models for the Chaos Knights faction, the Knight Abominant and savage War Dog miniaturesrounding out a previously limited roster. Grover put the T’au in the second tier in the original ranking, which is interesting for a number of reasons. The codex released alongside revamped, plastic Khorne Berzerkermodelsand a spectacular new model for the World Eaters primarch, Angron.

Codex T’au Empire – 9th Edition: The Goonhammer Review

The old uses of drones (sacrificing themselves to take a wound for a nearby unit and detaching, respectively) are still available via stratagems, but the strong flexibility of Drones as a whole has been significantly downgraded in this book. The different cultures and technological specialities within the T’au Empire can provide a huge variety of benefits to a custom sept – ranging from missile expertise and pinpoint marksmanship to die-hard loyalty and special defensive doctrines. Gone are the days of spamming sixteen of a single hyperefficient unit; instead, you’ll need to build a careful selection of tools to do different jobs, balancing firepower, mobility, objective-scoring, and action economy to ensure that your force can not only kill the enemy but also win the mission. A Bork’an sept trait is “Ranged Attacks of S7 or less made against VEHICLES and BATTLESUITS are -1 strength” Like Ramshackle, but worse. When not pressing buttons at Wargamer HQ, you can often find him impatiently painting miniatures; half-finishing strategy board games against himself; or drinking lager in the bath with a Horus Heresy audiobook playing.If the hubbub caused by the latest T’au Empire railgun improvements is anything to go by, the 41st Millennium is going to love all their other big and scary guns. Without a legitimate combat threat, both removing the opponent’s units from an objective and taking that objective is very tough. New rules in this latest codex include the powerful Harbingers of Dreaddebuffs, and the option to dedicate your mighty mechs to one of the Chaos Gods, getting their keyword and a gnarly new ability as thanks for your service. The codex includes updated rules for all Ork factions, not just the squig-obsessedBeast Snaggas, and makes some hefty changes to the Waaaagh. Being the default troop choice of the Tau codex, Strike Squads are unfortunately not well-positioned in 9th Edition.
