With the Tau getting some love - my hope is the Admech/Red Scorpion vs Tau book might be previewed this weekend.

YESSS!!! All the marine players are going to get shot down! Muahah! Tears! Looks like FW heard the Tau fans begging for some Railweapon options on their stuff since GW ignored our pleas. The Railgun and HRR might be good if they were ever found on anything other than the Broadsides and Hammerheads.

This calls for some Highway to the Danger Zone.

There is only one music reference you need here, and it’s not “Highway to the Danger Zone”

If you can’t figure out what it is, your Heart isn’t into it.

Top Gun not ring any bells?

Definitely got the Top gun reference (you'ld have to be dead not too!

), but I didn't get the "Heart" reference...?

Oh boy, you have possibly missed out on the best Tau song ever made.

From Garro on Facebook, the Mastodon confirmed to be £300:

**Breotan**

Well, I guess I won't be getting one of these.

**Ratius**

€400? Uhm no.

Barra is quite cool except for the red ailerons on the back. I'd leave them off.

**aka_mythos**

I realize its a generally high price, but I'm not sure what you expected? A Fellblade is what £170? -This is pretty close to two fellblades stacked on each other in size, and unlike that kit this doesn't make use of an underlying set of plastic parts.

**Ratius**

I think its more the perception of "its just a tank" for me than anything else. Which ofc is a very subjective view but still. No.

**aracersss**

if only the rules helped out with the decision :/

**Wilson**

It's the same size as an ordinatus with more resin to it - what do you guys expect!

**Ratius**

Ok, didnt realise it was on that sort of scale.

**bubber**

A pic on the Graven Games FB page shows the 'bird at £750

I wish I could afford that Stormbird.

**Oaka**

As a less expensive alternative, you could just spray this with glue and dip it in your bits box.

**ImAGeek**

From BattleBunnies:

**Ratius**

That new knight looks to be circa Warhound size no?
Look at the Masta behind it.

**Januine**

**ImAGeek**

Think they've made the new Knight bigger:

From Garro on Facebook:

**Sidstyler**

I hate that the Ta'unar even exists, but I do love the weapons for it. I wonder what the thing on the left shoulder paired with the railgun is supposed to be. At first I thought it was like a heat sink, but it looks more like some kind of cluster rocket launcher to me.

The new barracuda's cool, I want a pair of them. But for some reason I think I liked the old one more (I wish I still had mine, would be a cool wing leader maybe)...I think I liked it better with the single stabilizer in the back instead of the two slanted ones it has now. Still a great-looking model.

Oh sweet, and now there's a blight drone before it became a blight drone.
