o im thinking about getting the digidex anyone think this book ISNT worth it?

iv been thinking about taking them as allies... a team of 3 broadsides as AA.. how does skyfire on these chappies work? is it just the main weapon thats getting it or is it all weapons? is it the full unit or just the commander etc etc...

and just to add what may be a dumb question... they are loading broadsides out with 3 weapons, main, SMS and seeker missile.... can it use more than 1 per turn?

Hey i may have missed it or perhaps you mistook that you already wrote out the stats for rail rifles (you probably thought it was the heavy rail rifles at a glance). I could be wrong but i think when i glanced the book at GW they were strength 6 ap 1 or 2 but i don't know the entire stat-line. I do seem to remember them being heavy weapons though.

I was planning to buy Tau a little before the annoncement about a new codex came out, so i am wondering if i am buying the right things.

I think of buying a Commander of some sort

2 more crisis suits to the one i already have.

2 or 3 boxes with fire warriors
2 or 3 Devilfish

3 broadsides

this would be my "starting set" at least, is it viable ?

Drop the broadsides. They're no longer capable of performing the role of antitank.

Now for anti-tank you need either a flyer(Imperial guard), suicide pirahnas(land raiders), or Riptide with Heavy Burst Cannon(Necrons with Quantum Shielding).

No. You're paying $83au for a digital book. It is not worth that - nor should you support that sort of price gouging. Originally iBook codices were $50au, which I had no problems with.

Here is a question that got brought up in another thread.

For the interceptor drones on the Sunshark bomber, BEFORE they are detached, are they going to work as turrets (and therefore fire at full BS) or as passengers (and therefore only snap fire because the flier is always zooming)?
The latter, but have Skyfire and Interceptor anyway so it's largely irrelevant.

I would argue otherwise, as the drones are far to vulnerable once they disembark. Its is a shame, if they could fire at full BS while still attached, the Sunshark would have been a halfway decent flier.

The value of the Drones depends on exactly how Interceptor works. If they can intercept at full BS after the flyer moves full speed, than they are very valuable indeed. Otherwise, the bomber is limited to 18" a turn in order to use their blast templates.

yeah iv seen the stupid price jump.... its horrendous iv bought the others at 50$ but this i fear will be too much catch becomes.... ill want a printed version and even through a discounter its still 70 bucks..

Who wrote the book? What are some general ideas for builds now?

How much did they change Farsight (aside form the gakky model imo)? If he is decent I may have to dig out my old farsight enclave....

dawnblade is now S user ap2 armourbane and is pretty bog standard actually, he unlocks the 7 man crisis unit, that is about it.

Also the fact that there are no army list restrictions.

THERE ARE NO ARMY LIST RESTRICTIONS

THERE ARE NO ARMY LIST RESTRICTIONS

One other question, flamers or heavy flamers on crisis suits?

just standard flamers.
