Coupled with new model upcoming not that unlikely scenario actually. Makes lots of sense. Then again that\s good reason for GW to NOT do it.

Has there been an official order of release for Tau, Necrons and Drukhari?
Because my guess is actually Necrons first, then Tau and then Drukhari.

I base it on the order the books are displayed.
Necrons in the back, then tau and in the front Drukhari.
And they did it with every other release to.
As if they do itfrom left to right.

Can't remember which came first but with the grey Knights and chaos sm they did it to!

If I remember rightly, it was actually Chaos Space Marines that came first. You may still be right, I mean left-to-right makes the most sense, but they haven't been consistently doing that so far as I can tell.

I think it might be crons first too, as it wouldn't make sense to tease a necron model then release unrelated armies first.

They teased the Daughters of Khaine but Legions of Nagash came first.
They teased a Knight variant but just labeled it as "Coming Soon".


Supposedly, someone at the LVO was told that Drukhari come first at the end of February with Tau in early March and Necrons ending out March.

Personally, I don't think the specific order matters all that much. They should all be coming out within a few weeks of each other.

Nope. Space Marines was released first. Grey Knightss and Chaos Space Marines were released the same day.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

Ahh, my mistake - in that case, maybe Necrons will be next then. I agree with Cthulhulsspy that it wouldn't make much sense for them to tease the Necron model and then wait a while, but since that's exactly what they're doing with the Knight Armiger I don't know. Just have to hope.

Maybe the Necrons are the only ones (of the three) to get a new model. So the Cryptek was the only thing they could tease.

Do you think there will be any new models with the Tau release? I know we're getting a Cryptek for Necrons, but haven't really heard anything for Tau - and I'm far more interested in a new model over a rehash of the Index or a codex, since I've still got my 6E/7E one.

New units? This isn't one of those Codex releases. This is a quick one, like Dark Angels or Eldar.

Book, cards, collector's edition, maybe dice, token miniature, done.

Yeah, this applies to all 3.

And it'll be Drukhari next, several people in the Drukhari facebook page say they were at the seminar when it was announced and said Drukhari will be first, I'm really hoping it'll get announced today as being on pre-order next week.

DE going on preorder next week is unlikely. The February White Dwarf has Eisenhorn and two new AoS start collecting sets up next. Nothing about Drukhari.

I'm hoping that at the least we get a Stealth Suit or Ghostkeel option for a Commander.

When do geedubs normally announce the next codex? Is it on a Saturday, Sunday, or during the week? I was sort of hoping we'd hear what the next codex is going to be by now, but maybe they're waiting until Legions of Nagash has dropped?

They generally leave concrete dates to the last minute. Recently Gw have announced the next weeks preorders the Sunday before. We already know that next week will be AOS sc boxes, Eisenhorn and black library celebration stuff.
The following week is still a mystery so it could well be the next codex. We are very unlikely to hear any news till next Sunday.

Eisenhorn isn't a "preorder" or anything of that nature. He's just going to start being available as of the 24th.

Looking forward to the Necron release as that's my secondary army, the Tau Codex...I don't think there will be many changes from the Xenos book, they'll probably try to stop people fielding so many commanders but that won't affect me as I only ever field the one.

I'd like the Devilfish to become cheaper if tied to a Firewarrior or Breacher Squad, makes for a difficult choice when doing a 1000 point game as my Breacher squad had to footslog it around the board (Didn't lose one though thanks to the XV-8's providing Fire support using Missile pods)

I think the changes to commanders will upset a lot of people though, but then anytime there is a change, you need to change tactically.

For me, the Tau are now designed to be more aggressive rather than sit back and fire from long range

If this can be trusted its Drukhari first, then Tau and after that Necrons.

For Tau i hope all suits get +1 Balistic Skill. wouldnt mind if Comanders would carry only 3 weapons but aditional 2 suport systems.
Missiles have to work without Markers so that the Marker table gets better

I'm genuinely curious as to what they're going to do with Markerlights but something that occurs to me is that Tau might get a "Grinding Advance" styled buff to Markerlights where if they remain stationary they get double the number of shots.

Tau need price drops across the board, with the exceptions of drones and commanders. Commanders should be dropped to 3 weapons max and up to 2 support systems. Crisis suits should perhaps be boosted to 3+ ballistic skill, but maybe that should be a markerlight buff instead (but with only 1 or 2 ML, not 5). Hopefully they bring back double-firing Stormsurges again, but with a stratagem (2CP makes an anchored Surge fire its weapons again or something like that), as those big things need some help right now. Hopefully they also buff rail weapons in some way so Longstrike and the Hammerhead, not to mention Broadsides, become relevant.

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700

I'd buff Tau railguns to be 1D3 and 1D6 mortal wound damage with the 6+ to wound damage buff staying. Tau can not spam psykers so I'd say its fair. Maybe increase the points a little more.

They need to drop markerlights all together. They were silly to begin with and are just used justify keeping Tau, which is a shooty army, from actually being good at shooting. Knock all suits down to BS 3+ and give the big suits grinding advance or the ability to fire without the -1 for moving. Also, a point reduction for suits.
