With the Tau rumours flying in thick and fast at the moment I though I would collect all the ones I could find.
As always these are rumours so take them with a side of salt and pepper.
Also if anyone else has any other rumours to add please post them and I'll add them to the OP or PM them. Just provide a source (even if it's 2nd hand, as long as the person providing you with the rumour can provide you with their source).
Rumours also say the next white Dwarf will feature Tau.

Current as of the 14th of March.

Most claims are the codex is set for an April release with the author as Vetock

HQ
A new Kroot HQ
A Firewarrior Leader who can buff squads (heard this once so extra salt please)
Etherals will have slight changes in the form of Aura's but they are nothing awesome and they also lose thier Honour Guards.
Tank commander as a HQ as well, no real details on what he can do though.

TROOPS
Firewarriors become 9pts
Kroot will lose a point of S (making them more pointless than they already were imo)

ELITE
Riptide- a new suit, not got many details though the debate is wither it will be a MC like the dread or simply a badass Crisis
Crisis relatively unchanged crunch wise but there is a new model (though the changes in look are minor to the old one, think the same idea as what happens with the stealth suits)

FAST ATTACK
Fliers will go here and be AV10/11 with 6 S6 shots at BS3 (Daul-kit is rumoured)
Pathfinders will lose the Devilfish tax.

HEAVY SUPPORT
Broadsides will have a S8 AP1 Rail Gun with the option to purchase Skyfire.
Hammerhead can purchase the sub-munition (no word yet wither this is the S6 AP4 Large blast or options on top of that)
A new walker will go here also, details very sparse.

WEAPONS
SMS- TL and ignores cover
Ion weapons may suffer from Get Hots or some form of overloading (i.e they break)
Renaming the hammerheads Rail gun to Rail Cannon to seperate it from the Broadsides gun.

ARMY RULES
All units within 6" fire overwatch, no word yet wither this will be an upgrade or come as standard.
Vehicles can now no longer fire like fast vehicles with the Multi-tracker upgrade.


So for the moment that's it from me. Anyone else got anything else?

We have an ongoing Tau rumors thread already, thanks.
