The Tau are getting a nice list of weapons. You get 3 choices for Gladiator Weapons, 2 choices for Pistol Weapons, only 1 option for Basic Weapons, and 4 Special Weapon options. We’re also getting a look at the point cost of the Tau units. A Pathfinder and Pathfinder Specialist are both going to cost you 60 points, while the Pathfinder Cadet is costing 50 points. This should give you a good start for getting you army built before the game even hits the market.

Now let’s take a look at the Dark Eldar.
