Is it just me or did the Tau Empire grow a lot? Usually it's depicted as a dot and not with a defined territorial area. Or they could just be defining its borders better and its the same size.
It's still quite small, the hexagon that defines the Empire is smaller than the entirety of the Ultramarines' domain.
Also surrounded by Necrons on one side and by a giant Warp Rift on another... things aren't looking too crash hot for the Tau.
They might actually have to fight for real now.
It is still small, but far bigger looking than it used to look. Back in the day it used to be so small most maps would zoom in and show a little sub map just to show how small they were. Now they get an actual spot on the main map. Neat. Also the latest lore from the GS books (forget which one probably 3) is that the Tau and IoM near the damocles were being attacked by weird warp worms and an entire Tau fleet vanished and/or destroyed.
Could we be seeing a chaos Tau release? Could be interesting.
I and many others have suspected for awhile now the only candidates for a grand alliance with Tau are Tau-crons. The Eldar didn't want the Tau's help for being too young, and they never even considered Necrons. So unless a new Ork Freeboss gets real chummy with the Tau the only GA I could see would be Tau-Cron. Perhaps Tau was supposed to be swallowed but the Necrons have made pylons to save them? It's an interesting development at any rate.
Chaos welcomes it's new mutated brethren!

Won't make much sense if his much-vaunted martial prowess is matched by lesser beings. Some sort of bespoke rule that makes him harder to hit because of the sheer reality-warping awesomeness (or vileness) of his presence.
I've been saying that for years. Always wondered where it came from.
I've always wondered how he's able to parry things that are barely up to his ankles.
