And Boomwolf’s first impressions:

Dawn Blade Contingent bonus-not nearly as good as hunter contingent.

CORE RETALIATION! OMGWTFBBQ, Now I need to get a broadside 😛

Dawn hunter cadre-nothing of note.

Air caste asset/allied advance-same old as kayon.

Counter strike-unimpressed.

Rapid insertion-trash. really. nothing compared to retaliation.

Ranged Support-pretty amazing.

Piranha Wing-pretty damn cool. EDIT:actually broken as hell. especially with drone formations.

Ghostkneel Wing-confused by it. tau stopping enemy overwatch? huh?! (Probably added to codex formations, and not the dawn contingent)

Riptide Wing-brutal. outright brutal.

Skysweep-not impressed.

Ethereal council-I don’t quite get why one would do that… (Probably added to codex formations, and not the dawn contingent)

Drone network-SKYNET IS ALIVE! MUHAHAHA! seriously, this is scary good. finally all the drones that tau players collected over the years became a true force to be reckoned with.

Air superiority-pretty cool actually. the jets themselves are not amazing-but with this? you OWN the skies.

CHECKOUT THE REST OF THE FORMATIONS

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.

LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
