Huh, I guess Fire Warrior squads are now 5-10? I always liked how the older rules/fluff paid respect to the idea that a four-fingered, two-handed species would use base 8 counting (although I suppose Battlesuit numbering abandoned that a bit ago. And yes, I'm not satisfied with "Translation issues" as an excuse :P).

Still, I recall a thread complaining that having a box of ten models serve a 6-12 unit represented GW trying to gouge customers, so I guess there's no pleasing everyone.

Fire Warrior Strike Squads are still max 12.
Those are Breachers on the pic.

Cool, thanks! Kinda funny that the Tau are varying up their squad size like that, but no big deal.

Fire Warrior Strike Squads are still max 12.

Seeing that the dual box only has 10 men, I doubt they're still up to 12 strong.

they can still be 12 strong

Breachers and Pathfinders are Max unit size 10, Striketeam is 12
The real shocker is Crisis Battlesuits are Min 1 max 9.
Makes the crowded Elite slot a little easier to work with.
I am looking at the Codex right now.

Cool. 9 makes me happy.
