Set pulse rifles to maximum! Come see the new Tau codex that is 25% BIGGER than it’s 6th edition predecessor in our first look review of the new book.

This is the first codex release in recent memory that rules wise was just a sort of “second edition” of an already existing set of rules. For the 7th Edition version of Tau rules, you could use their existing 6th Edition codex, along with the new Kauyon supplement as an alternative to purchasing the new 2015 codex.

Via Games Workshop

This 128-page hardback book contains:

  • The story of the Tau Empire, their philosophies, technologies and their rapid ascension to the status of galaxy-striding warriors;
  • A showcase of beautifully-painted Citadel miniatures, demonstrating colour schemes used by the Tau and their auxillaries;
  • A comprehensive army list, helping you to bring the enlightenment of the Greater Good to the battlefields of the 41st millenium;
  • Lists of stunningly advanced wargear – pulse weaponry, drones, massive walking tanks – the Tau have it all;
    New formations, detachment and Warlord Traits.

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.
