Well, it's a nice Shadowsun mini, of all the Tau things to move from Finecast to plastic, she'd be about my last choice.

Those are the Deathwatch: Overkill versions I believe. They have much more rectangular knees.
Interesting. Even those don't actually match, unless the angles are really messing with that Shadowsun image.

The angle is. The purple light being shown on the Genestealers is also a factor.
Again, it's a normal Genestealer from the current kit. I pointed out exactly which one it is above.

We're going to have to agree to disagree, frankly, because I'm seeing an actual distinct gap where you're seeing paint job based upon your experience.

Shadowsun and Genestealers that might be new or might not be and whatever else might be slated.
It, IMO, feels like it might be another Blood of the Phoenix box. We didn't get one for Faith and Fury or Blood of Baal and we don't seem to be getting one for Dark Ritual.
Greater Good is a February release from the schedule that GW themselves gave us so there's some time for them to build it up like they did BoTP's set if there's new kits like BoTP.

It's an old Stealer model I'm afraid.
Shadowsun being more armsy is... a thing I guess? For the Greater Four-Armed Good? T'au Cult confirmed?

She's got a different weapon loadout than before. She seems to be carrying around Ghostkeel weaponry in the form of twin Fusion Colliders--or some pseudo-Fusion Collider variant--rather than her normal Fusion Blasters.
I'm hoping that this might end up being a new classification of suit that we get a unit variant of.

The PA fluff so far has been fairly disappointing so I wont get my hopes up. But Tau vs GSC would a great matchup to emphasize the horror influences of the cult background.

Steve Parkers Deathwatch novel does that in spades.
There are lots of great things they could do with this including non human hybrids - that would very cool.
Small scale - the corruption of single Tau world
Larger scale - GSC inflitration of the Ethereal Council - we know at least one is a GS from their codex.
Epic scale - War between the Enclave and the Empire due to the GSC influence.
Sadly I don't think that they will do more than - new named human/Tau world gets infected, Tau have to fight the GSC, nothing really matters.

Which is just fine. I'd love more detail on small scale conflicts that are are *only* about the fate of one world, not " RAW!!!!! Big exploding and dying all over the place, now galaxy is x1000 times more Grim because storyline!, Also spahce marines 10 feet tall!".

That's because they're the two genestealers from the Deathwatch Overkill boxset where the knee was slightly more pronounced, rather than the multipart kit.
And that was an updated design and one that is no longer available. It was really bizarre, they updated the genestealers, then discontinued the box the updated ones came in and just continued selling the old sculpts. Makes no sense at all. I wish they'd release Overkill-style stealers.
That wasn't an update. That was a callback to the original space hulk genestealers all the way back at the beginning. They all head that wrinkled fleshy area in middle of the back. They did the two overkill models as a tribute.

I agree, but PA is meant to be "the biggest thing since the 13th Black Crusade" so tiny, backwater skirmishes don't really fit their attempt at a hype train.
That being said, I won't expect much more than Shadowsun getting reports the Enclave forces are slaughtering a loyal Tau/Human world, only to investigate and discover it's actually GSC, then Farsight shows up at the last minute and turns the tide.

Just like Chaos almost beating Imperial worlds, then Primaris show up and they lose, until it turns out Chaos meant to lose as some plan we'll never hear about again. Yes.

...egh, Farsight doesn't need to be the answer to every problem, but i wouldnt be shocked. seems he's rather favored nowadays...
im just gonna focus on the fact it's involving GSC. is this how the PA will go? i had a lot of other things under expectation. suddenly GSC instead?...

here's a thought, what if it's discovered that a large portion of the human worlds the Tau took are THICK with a GSC infestation. the Tau I suspect would be VERY vunerable to that type of infiltration

If we take the Ciaphas Cain BL novels as canon, then it wouldn't be a surprise to find GSC on Tau worlds.
