I am super mega hyper in love with these bad boys. Not sure about in game terms though. But they are beautiful.

When I get done making my Guard and Ork armies, I'm deciding between either eldar or tau afterwards.


With this model, the scales shifted a little bit towards Tau... still undecided, but damn, that's awesome looking. If only all Tau models were that good looking.

Yeah... I really do favor the Eldar over the Tau. But then I usually do pick elves as characters when I do traditional pen and paper roleplaying in fantasy settings, so...

I can see how this thing is appealing but I really don't dig it. The feet and head are especially bad. I just get this 'transformers' vibe from it that I don't want the tau moving in the direction of.

Personally, I'm just glad that Tau are actually getting some attention. Hopefully these battlesuit releases are a harbinger of a new codex after BA as rumors would suggest...

It'd be better than another Marine codex, but I'd rather see dark eldar, sisters, or grey knights get it way before Tau ever do.

Feckless cowards! The tau encased in the cumbersome, brittle armour are usually inexperienced and untrained.

Doesn't take much training or experience to fire auto targetting weapon systems with your mind!

Don't like the look of that,
prefered the older squarer tau look.
