Rumor has it over on the ATT forums that the Tau codex will be up for preorder on the 10th and out the 17th, which means we should get a reveal for it this NEXT Sunday.

edit: can't calendar.

Negative.
This Sunday's "Next Week's Preorders" will be the items preordering on March 3rd. You wouldn't see the Tau codex until March 4th as a preview with the preorders being March 10th and finally the release on March 17th.

We should see the new DoK kits (naga girls and harpies) pretty soon. So my guess is either (or both) of these kits will go on pre-order on the 3rd.
The ethereal on hover drone might get released too, but then it should coincide with the T'au codex (so on the 10th apparently).

Pretty much guaranteed it will be...a bit sad that they didn't rework the Tau Empire Start Collecting though.

Gotta sell them Riptides.

Obviously they made Riptides suck in the index so that everyone would throw theirs away in disgust, only to buff them up again in the codex so they'd have to buy new ones! What a nefarious plan that is.


Tau Players: Commanders are the only good option we have to build arou...
Tinfoil Hat Society: Well, GW did that to sell more commander kits!!!
TP: ...It's a pretty boring list though so I hope they fix it in new book.

* book comes out *

TP: Awesome! Riptides are useful again and command spam is addr..
THS: AH HA! SEE?! GW wanted to stop selling commanders and now wants to sell only Rip Tides again! CAN'T YOU SEEEE??!!?!?

And repeat for every single adjustment GW makes:

So we should see something about the march codexes coming up this weekend? Basing this on 1k sons and custodes where we started getting custodes articles two weeks before pre-orders.

No. We don't see faction focus articles for a codex until after it goes up for pre-order.

Aren't the faction focus articles in the week between the announcement and when they go up for pre-order? Like the current Daughters of Khaine articles.

You're right. My bad. We won't see the outside reviews until after it goes on preorder.

It took them less than a week between pre orders of chaos daemons went up and they started the faction focus for custodes. So next week the tau and necron hype train should start.

they agve the custodes a faction focus, but 1K sons didn't get one until after release I belive. but 1k sons released along side an honest to god new army so they "suffered" as a result that way. I don't think anyone blamed GW for hyping the custodes more.

This one, and most of the rage was from Xenos players who where upset that GW would DARE release a new Imperial faction in "their" year. I don't recall seeing many if any posts asking where the 1K sons faction focus articles where.

The Thousand Sons had Faction Focus articles on January 22nd and January 26th. The codex was announced January 21st and went on pre-order January 27th.

Got the weekly new releases email from gw today and on the email it says 3 new boardgames are coming. Then if you follow the link it only has details of the mini blood bowl and the space marine game.

A mistake or something they're not telling us?

Probably a mistake, but there's still that AdMech vs Necrons box in the rumor mill...

honestly I think admech might be the one IoM faction that GW might think might be able to hold a box without space marines, they apparently sold very well

I would buy the gak out of an Admech v. Necrons box.

No, next weekend. This weekend will be the March 3rd preorders (Daughters of Khaine), and then March 4th will show the March 10th preorders, and the 5th-9th will be faction articles for it.

I have a hunch that the rumoured AdMech vs. Necrons game isn't a tabletop game, but rather is the AdMech video game that was recently revealed

Well, looks like Tau are indeed next in line for a codex. Confirmation of 6 Sept Tactics (5 Septs plus Farsight Enclaves) with more information to come very soon (presumably faction focus articles either this upcoming week or the week after).

Mobile Assault Cadre: 9,500 points (3,200 points fully painted)

Genestealer Cult 1228 points

Prediction: one of the Sept subfactions will get -1 to hit and that'll be the most popular.

If they get any kind of melee bonus I'll laugh for hours.

Little worried they might get a flamer buff aka Catachans. Those 3d6 flamers would be scary if buffed.
