Come see the new Dawn Blade detachment for the upcoming Tau Mont’ka supplement that’s coming soon from Games Workshop!
Via Boomwolf on ATT 11-21-2015
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
