Umm No. BOLS and Natfka's posts this year on Tau have been crap.
New suit is designed for more dynamic posing options
Not a giant release window for Tau, Codex, Cards, 1-2 new mini products FALSE
PENDING Tau Rumors - Mar 2015
via Birds in the Trees posted by Larry Vela on Bols http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2015/03/40k-tau-empire-latest.html Tau Empire Release Info- New updated XV-?? battlesuit / Commander-battlesuit combo kit.
– New kit is strongly based on the current Commander suit, but not identical.
– New Kit is designed for much more dynamic assembly & posing options than the current range.
– Many new Kroot models are on ice, but may be spun off into a separate release (Codex: Kroot Mercenaries
– New Kroot miniatures have been physically sighted in various staged of the development process
– Multiple new kits are coming in what looks like a “full army (aka Harlequin sized) release.
– Many of the units from the old Kroot mercenaries list will reappear.
– The army will receive at least one large centerpiece kit that hails from the Kroot homeworld of Pech
– This new army is believed to be scheduled well past 9th Edition, so look for it at the very end of this year, or shortly thereafter.
These rumors are rated above average coming from known sources.

The Tau Codex is coming, but no real ETA I can share at the moment. In it Tau will get 2 new suits, one larger than a riptide, another smaller than a riptide. TRUE

first, BOLS and natfka must be laughing themselves sick, because it looks like their claims were pretty close to 100% accurate despite the later rumors that we will get one suit, a commander and nothing else.
Why?
I am not aware of a single BoLS/Natfka-rumour that isn't a repeat of the Lords of Wargaming statement from June.
Here are some parting truths about Tau:
They will have a new Fire Warrior box. Two types of units can be made.
New Crisis Suits
More commander suits
New Riptide sized Suit that has large missiles
Looks like a Tau Aegis Defense line with circular weapon platforms.
Don't know about the rules, so don't ask.
Indeed, going by natfka/BoLS "exclusive" rumours, we'd be looking at Tzeentch Daemonkin/Chaos Space Marines, not Tau.

Because they're just background scenery. Not everything in a pic of a new kit needs to be new, especially if its not the focus of the pic.[/quote
But they aren't man! Not at all! I've never ( that I can recall) seen a showcase of new models which has had conversions in the background of a new release showcase.

So just because you've never seen it doesn't mean it can't happen? Do you have proof of it being an impossibility?

No it doesn't, but it does make it pretty unlikely. They don't often show conversions at all that aren't simple kitbashes or part of the Golden Daemon display type things, let alone in the new release images.

These were the products their "inside source" said would launch on September 19 (pre-order or sale, not quite clear).
Wrong either way.

Definetly different crisis suits looking at them but could be conversions or could be new suits might even be upcoming FW stuff guess we'll see in a month. I'm just glad the sigma rinse releases are ending tbh.

The title of the thread is wrong, there's no new Pathfinders. New Fire Warriors or another new infantry, but the current Pathfinders are shown in the pictures.
