And I will admit, I was excited. After the FAQs that the Dark Angels and Black Templar got I thought Tau were going to get a nice new updated. But after going through it my honest reaction is: Meh.
I am glad that they clarified the Seeker Missile issue. I interpreted it like that all along, admittedly not that many people agreed with me.
And the Sensor Spines are nice, its handy not having to roll for Dangerous and Difficult Terrain when you need to grab that last round objective.
The last thing that is useful, but not really game changing is the issue with Gun Drones not counting as a Kill Point when left attached to a vehicle when it blows up. Once again, the 40Kers here in South Africa have always played like that.
Its looking increasingly like the Tau are going to need a new Codex for them to be really competitive in tournaments again. And with the way the recent Xenos Codexs have turned out, I am a bit fearful that they may do something silly to my beloved blue aliens. Then again, I am assuming a new Codex will be released in the next five years.
