RUMORS: Tau Next For Aeronautical Imperialis & More Specialist Games

Aeronautica Imperialis wal hor marauderLooks like the Tau may be next for Aeronautica Imperialis as more early snapshots of what could be ahead for GW are still swirling about the web. Check out these rumors!

2019 was a big year for Aeronautica Imperialis and Necromunda. AI was released with a Box Set and has since gotten a few waves of support. All the while Necromunda had an incredible Box Set featuring two new factions and modular terrain. But it looks like 2020 still has more in store for both.

RUMORS: Tau Next For Aeronautical Imperialis & More Specialist Games:

Spotted on Imgur, it looks like there are exciting times on the way for two of GW’s specialist games in the near future.

What looks to be a snippet from a recent shipping document, Necromunda was mentioned with something called House of Chains. It’s not clear if this could be some kind of new gang or (what sounds to be more fitting), perhaps a new book. There’s not a whole lot of meat to that, although we should keep our eyes peeled for anything with that name just over the horizon.

If you do a little bit of background research, you’ll find that Taros was where some of the Imperialis fighters ran into Tau… Specifically having desert camo on their armor. And look at what’s coming alongside the Taros board…Desert colored dice.

Keep in mind too with Rynn’s world that conflict featured the Orks which also were the models we say released that time, so there is a good chance we could see Tau coming to a Taros themed release as well.

So with that said a scaled-down Tau Flyers could very well be on the way for AI. With Taros being known for the conflict with Tau as well as the release of Desert dice, it seems like everything is pointing toward it…This could be a Sister release to partner with the Tau inside of Psychic Awakening: The Greater Good soon as well.

What do you think we will be seeing first? Would you pick up AI if Tau got their own models and rules? Could there be new gangs inside House of Chains if it does end up being a book?
