I’m looking at getting back in the game, and I want to resurrect my farsight army.

Is there a rule set that allows crisis suits as troops? If so what book am I looking for? It’s not in the basic tau book. I’ve seen some “leaks” for stuff like the eight but I can’t find anything on which book or supplements I need to field this army legit.

Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

Sorry, no suits as troops (and I'm right there weeping with you) and the 8 is in CA2018

On the flipside, there are detachments that are composed entirely of elites and HQs.
JSJ is gone, but there is a Tau Relic, and a Dal'yth stratagem that allows you to use the tactic.

Unless I missed something, crisis suits can no longer be a troop choice.

That really does not matter though as you do not need to have a troop choice because of the way the Detachments now work.

So is there a detachment that would allow the eight? I love. The flavour and style of them.

Chapter Approved 2018 contains rules for The Eight.

The rules for The Eight in CA18 are clear on what detachment to use.
