It seems there is a new class of battlesuits coming. Wonder what they look like though.

How big do you think it will be? Ironclad dread, knight size, or Tau titan even...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/999924.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/999924.page GMT Re:The new XV9 Hazard Battlesuits http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/999929.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/999929.page GMT The new XV9 Hazard Battlesuits

It's got neat rules though, and WS3 isn't bad! I've got a unit that can jump on unfriendly assault troops, and then blow up it's drones to escape! (and if I read this right, each suit can buy a drone....but it is expensive I'll give it that)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/1000170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/1000170.page GMT The new XV9 Hazard Battlesuits

I know someone who would smack you for that, but it's all good.

If the new Tau codex has this suit, I may start playing tau...but I'll have to think hard about it, because it IS a really expensive unit (I mean, 65 points per guy? I guess its kinda fair...)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/1000234.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/1000234.page GMT The new XV9 Hazard Battlesuits TL Flamers with this thing?

Yeah, the pilot is bundled up in the torso section - the legs/arms do not extend into the arms/legs of the suit. In that case, the cockpit looks roomier in the new suit.

I am drooling all over these. It's about time they started releasing suits that look like the cool concept art they had commissioned from the Crilio or Cirlo (Sp?) guy.

I echo the sentiment that for this much cash and points, I'm not too excited about 6 str5 shots, twin-linked or no. I'd rather have 4 non-linked burst cannons for 12 shots, or some of the rumoured new systems.

Its the guns, the legs and the feet.

The whole thing looks like Forge World have taken a step back in Tau Technology.

The other FW Tau suis look tons better than this this one.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/1002532.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/1002532.page GMT The new XV9 Hazard Battlesuits Id collect tau again. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/1002601.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/1002601.page GMT The new XV9 Hazard Battlesuits

That would involve you charging, which I don't see any particular reason for. The drone sacrifice rule would work best if you were charged, and then had only 1 assault turn to get through. I can't think of many situations where you'd want to charge instead of using the JMP to get 6" farther away.

the twin linked Burst Cannons would be excellent against orks and with JSJ this model would be unstoppable >:]

i can't wait for it to come out to the public and pick one up myself

like Timmah said i believe a new codex is around the corner

Not going to go into detail as to what the other weapons are (buy the book!), but, I can say it really does scream that this suit was designed for horde killing...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/1243529.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/1243529.page GMT The new XV9 Hazard Battlesuits gw world would have if tau came out with a new codex.

it is a neat model and will be intresting to see the rumored new tau crisis suits from GW to see if they bear an similarities to the new fw suits we have seen, im guessing most of the similarities will be in the chest and ankle region beefing the original crisis suit models up.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/1244768.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/258173/1244768.page GMT
