Heheh - someone was paying homage to the old Robotech M.A.C. III Monster...
Man, I wish there was a real Black Library where I could get a Black Library Card and take out Black Library Books without having to buy them. Of course, late fees would be your soul. But it would be worth it. - InquisitorMack

If the rules for the weapons are correct, then tau will have a nice upgrade in apoc matches against the other super heavies and GC.

Pretre, the name of the guy you're quoting on the first post isn't Shas'ui as that is just his forum ranking for that particular board (and a tau rank in the 40k fluff) just like your badass sister sin under your handle here on dakka. His actual name there is Warhound. Thanks for tracking it regardless and it looks like he'll get a postive from that Tau FW knight titan rumor.

No worries. Vector strike posted a link above to some stats. I don't know if FW designer/sculptor conversations count as rumors but the first post might deserve some of that info regardless if this is the official tau rumor thread.

How big is this thing compared to a riptide? Or, how big is a Deredeo to a Riptide? I never saw one in reality, but it would give me a feeling for the scale of that...."suit". No way to still call this s SUIT, is it? More like a Gundam Mech, a Jaeger or...
That being said, AWESOME, i like it!
But i have a bad feeling about this "my c*** is much bigger than yours" mentality that has befallen 40k. I am not exactly sure what started this, but i think it was the riptide, no? Then, one month later, the wraith knight ("And you thought the riptide was big", you dont say White Dwarf), only to be followed by the Orc Gorkanaught (or Morkanaught?) and Escalation allowing LoW in regular 40k games...and then Imperial Knights....and everytime someone gets a new OP Mega sized Unit, the others need new toys, which need to be even MORE bigger....i mean, where will this end? Games with Warlord Titans as foot soldiers?
....will buy one nevertheless, if only for placing in my showcase. I like robots :>
Mischief. Mayhem. Soap.

You'll have to do the visual/mental gymnastics but some size comparison pics are spoilered below.
Spoiler:
My guess is that it is about the same size as that dreamforge titan (is it the 28mm one?).

The Tau are always advancing, always moving forward, and always going to win. It's only a matter of time.
We do have the manta...The 2nd biggest model forgeworld has to offer.

Tau basically control the Skies with all the Skyfire and D weapons in the air. The manta is more than enough for me, but a large battlesuit with possible D weapons is what we need... The Greater good need to start a crusade, maybe extend our reach... Maybe this new IA will give us a lot more new Apoc units to make tau very effective.

It also might help to have a model that costs less than $1,000 for the tau to fill that role that the two smaller fliers (or the discontinued orca) don't.

Tiger shark is a pretty nice Air support. Cost a little bit, but those Heavy rail guns are nice.
