Store retailers are saying Games Workshop has pulled more Tau miniatures from active duty. Come see what may be coming soon for the Tau!
Tau Empire:
Table of Contents & Article Summary showThe following kits have been pulled from compulsory restock by retailers:
- Tau Fire Warriors
- Tau XV8 Crisis Battlesuit Team
This means those kits will get replaced with either re-boxes, or updated models in the very near future. Note that the XV8 Battlesuit Commander was previously pulled from restocks a week or so back.
So this is all putting together a picture of Tau indeed being the first Warhammer 40,000 range to return to us sooner than later once the “Summer of Sigmar” wraps up.
