Come see the rumored release list of the first 40k since summer. The Tau are striking back!
via Bird in the Trees 8-26-2015
Tau Empire Release
September 12th
A “big” release (unknown if related to Tau Empire, but could be)
September 19th
Codex Tau Empire
Tau Empire Datacards
Tau Empire Painting Guide
New Plastic Battlesuit Commander (in a new size of package)
This seems to line up with the last 1-2 days of rumors about these guys. Bird in the Trees seems to mostly be right, but the timing on said rumors can be off at times. Either way apply salt as needed folks, the Tau are a fan favorite and their models are always pretty cutting edge as well.
Come to think of it, that White Dwarf Teaser about “Death from the Skies” and “Raise Shields” is starting to make a lot more sense now…
