Sorry didn't notice you answered some kroot questions already, is the Fire Warrior requirement still there though? Also do they have a save included in their stat line now instead of paying for it?

To be fair, all of what Ravenous D has posted has been in line with what i've been able to glean from the rumours threadnought. Just wanted a couple of specifics on the riptide, can wait until my own codex arrives for an in depth look.

I shall maintain until the end of time, that insanity is the way to perfection!

Rather not, IP tracking can be done that way. Plus I dont need the potential guff from GW.

You'll just have to trust me that I just wasted 2 hours frantically reading and posting.

Actually I might have a way, Keep an eye on my Avatar.

I know people who can track you to where you are posting right now. you dont need to post a pic to get tracked.

Not to mention if you obtained the codex legally then all you have to do is avoid posting rules as merely owning something others havent gotten yet is not illegal lol

Kroot hounds are 5 pts each and you can take 10 per kroot unit, they move like beasts if that helps.

Krootox are 25pts and are 3 per unit.

Sorry to bring it up again, is there a save included with the new kroot or do you still pay?

Also are there any changes to Vespid?

I feel like kroot with sniper rounds behind an ADL would be really good. 7 points for snipers? Yes. Against tyrannies orCs in general that's insane.

They wouldnt get the stealth for aegis though it only works on forests, but still for 7pt sniper rifles with a 4+ cover save isnt bad, only 24" though.

A commander can take 2 single missile pods + interceptor and skyfire for 140pts.

Not bad considering he'll be expensive out the gate.

Apparently they will be showing up with a Kroot Merc list in a new Allies Codex next year, I doubt such a thing will happen but I continue to pray/believe.

Can you explain how the Ethereal buffs work? Specifically, how long does the effect last (until the end of the phase, end of the turn, beginning of your next turn, etc)? And can the effect be used from inside a vehicle (i.e. If the Ethereal is in a Devilfish, could the Burst Cannon and attached Gun Drones get an extra shot at half range)?

Thank you!

Etereals get IC, stubborn, all units within 12" use its Ld, gives up 1 extra VP if he dies

The auras is the invocation of the elements, it works on all models in 12", at start of each ethereals movement phase pick one ability and it lasts until the next movement phase the abilities are:
Calm of tides: all models get stubborn
Storm of fire: when firing with pulse weapons (including kroot rifles with pulse rounds) you get an extra shot, this does not stack
sense of stone: feel no pain 6+
Zephyrs grace: can snap fire after running.

both fliers come with 2 seeker missiles. Seeker missiles can be fired like a hunter killer missile or fired "for free" from a marker light. Besides that the sunshark has a missile pod and interceptor drones.

and which ethereal? There is space pope and Aun'shi

Dawn blade is S user Ap2 armourbane

Aun'shi has no save, put I noticed he had a shield or something in his equipment. Wondering what that does.

So the flyer missile pods are the same as the suit missile pods?

Thanks for the clarification, Ravenous. I'll help out a bit with what I know.

The Ethereal special character comes with a shield generator, 4++. He can choose to reroll the save if he's in a challenge.

The non-seeker missiles are normal missile pod stats - strength 7 ap 4.

The Dawn Blade is insane Strikes at initiative (5), AP 2, Armourbane.


I have one more question. Does a Drone Controller work for ALL drones in ANY unit? For example, a Crisis Suit Commander with a Drone Controller and 2 Drones joins 3 other Crisis Suits, each with 2 Drones. Would all 8 drones in the unit use the Commander's bs5?
   
Made in ca

Yup, drone controller says he uses the highest BS drone controller in the unit. So you could technically have 7 crisis suits with 14 missile drones, with farsight and a Commander with 2 more missile drones and a drone controller, then arm each suit with 2 missile pods and you have yourself a unit that has 32 Bs5 S7 ap4 shots and 28 bs3 shots.

And the missile pods on the fliers are the same as the ground ones.

Two more:

Can crisis suits take two of the same weapon without it being twin-linked (2x fusion, for example)?

Does the fluff contain any explanation for why Tau are battle brothers with C:SM?

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

Still havent gotten to the fluff yet

And it reads exactly like this: "where a weapon has two point costs, the first is for a standard, single version, and the second is for two weapons (counting as a twin-linked weapon of that type). A twinlinked weapon counts as two choices from this list."

From the way I read it, I CAN buy another single fire weapon if I wanted, worse comes to worse buy 3, there is nothing stopping that so I dont see why do would be a problem.
