That seems to answer my question from before. Sniper Drones get the new sniper pusle rifle that is 48" S X AP 5. Guess there no longer marine eaters (not that they were reliable at that anyways).

What's up with the S X ap 5 long range pulse rifle? Who gets that?

It's part of the same entry as the rifle de induccion which I assume is the pulse rifle.

If I got my google translate right, its the Rail Rifle thats now Sniper, Rapid Fire.

Then what is the Rifle Accelerador that is 30" S 6 AP 1 next to the Rifle Accelerador Pesado 60" S 8 AP 1?

Seems like that's the rail rifle and this other one is a sniper pulse rifle.

I stand corrected. Now I'm really interested. Any idea on who can take the sniper pulse rilfe? And which do the Pathfinders/Sniper Drones get?

Well that seems to answer part of my question. Also I kind of like the idea of the Sniper Drones acually having sniper weapons. It makes it more appealing to take them as a Heavy Slot, instead of just taking Broadside/Hammerheads.

Skyfire upgrade for broadsides is pretty darn cheap at 8pts.

I think thats the seeker missile for 8 pts

Oh I think you're right. Interesting to note though that broadsides can take seeker missiles now.

What's the price for skyfire upgrade then?

From what I've read, long strike has Skyfire! Oh snap!

Hammerhead tank ace, Sha'ng also makes his hammerhead have 5 hull points.

You're confusing ballistic skill (HP) with Hull Points (PA).

BTW .HP n relation to stat lines (vehicles) is BS I believe, at least as far as the Spanish trans is concerned. PA is hull points, at least so I have sussed out.

Sorry I made a mistake, HP in spanish represents ballistic skill NOT hull points. Sha'ng boosts his hammerheas's BS to 5.

How reliable are these spanish leaks?

We really seem to be biting hard on these, are we confident they're legit?

I just don't want my heart broken again.

Unless someone has pictures of a pre-release codex, that looks final, it's probably the real deal.

Anyone able to do Farsight, Shadowsun and Aun'va? Wonder if they got any better.

They are codex scans, so I would call them pretty legit.

Missile drones are included in the big list of drones that can be taken... does this mean we can get missile drones for our FW squads and Stealth Suits? Infiltrating stealth / shrouded min size stealth team w/ FB and 6x missile drones seems... evil.

Getting missile pods into FW squads also seems like a good deal.

Does GW not want people to us the Bombers they produce? I swear every Bomber they have made carries only 1 bomb. Now I could understand it if they were making the bombers out to be the Enola Gay carring the atomic bomb. But they're not. So we just end up with a poorly armed flyer with a one-shot weapon that will scatter way off target most of the time, and then the one time it hits it wont kill anything. Thanks GW. Ok.. rant over.

Longstrike does not give up an additional VP if his tank blows up.

Markerlights: Spend 1 for +1 BS, Spend 2 for IGNORES COVER, Spend 1 for Seeker Missle

Defense of the Greater Good: Can't read =(

Well there goes my wants for the bomber.

man that is usless.

Kroot snipers are very interesting. They'll allow you, with a full sized kroot squad, to precision kill about 1 MEQ per turn according to my maths, and about 1.5 other MEQ, which is underwhelming sure, but where they will shine is against MC's, whom they will be extremely reliable against. For example, they put 2.77 wounds onto a tervigon, which is impressive for a 140 point unit.

3 Broadsides with HE Missile Pods, Twin linked missile pod on the back, seeker missile and 2 missile drones each... ALL THE MISSILES! (30-36 shots in total)

More SPECIAL RULES:

Failure is not an Option: All friendly Tau models can Use the Etherals leadership if they are within 12 inches, but killing the Etheral gratns an additonal +1 VP.

Warrior of Infantry: Can only join Pathfinders and firewarriors

Grand Invocation: Aun'va can invoke two elements per turn

Farsight has +1 BS, otherwise statline unchanged. Still has the Dawnblde, but not known what it does. Warlord trait enables him to deep strike without scatter. Special Rule gives him a max bodyguard of 7 as before.

Doesn't seem to have any force-org limitations.

He looks potentially awesome, if he can deliver a tricked out unit of crisis suits exactly where they need to be and still take kroot for troops.

Question, but has anyone else noticed that the Crisis can take up to 3 Weapon Systems, Characteristic Systems and Support Systems in any combination? What exactly are Characteristic Systems???

Perhaps they are a new definition for things that increase a unit's stat? (targeting array for example)

Looks like the rumor about etheral elemental buffs is true. From what I can tell this is how it plays out:

Ethereals can do one of these at the beginning of each movement phase for infantry:
Calm Tides: Stubborn
Firestorm: Pulse weapons can Fire an additional shot at half or less range, doesn't affect pulse bomb.
Durability of stone: feel no pain (6+)
Grace of (something - probably air): May snapshot after running

More from the Spanish site:

More SPECIAL RULES:

Invoke the Elements: At Start of movement, choose one of the four elements to invoke. The Etheral and all tau units that are not vehivles gain the benefit until the etherals next movement phase. If the Etheral dies, the effect ends.

Stay Calm!: Stubborn

Torment of Fire: +1 shot to all pulse weapons whose target is within have range.

Solidity of Stone: Feel no Pain 6+

Grace of ???: Can fire snap shots after running

Wasn't there an old rumor saying that Crisis suits could customize their state line?

Supreme Loyalty: While Aun'va is Alive, all tau units re-roll leadership checks.

Master of Edges?: In a challange, Aun'shi can choose to re-roll all failed saves or steely? this phase.

Sworn protector: An IC in a unit with this rule automatically passes LOS rolls.

If I remember correctly this month's WD, I think it was possible to create another bomb.

If that true that would be great. I haven't been able to even open up my White Dwarf yet. I'm currently away from home, so I know its just sitting there in my mailbox taunting me...
