http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/65.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net This is my first shot at playing the game, although I've owned a copy of the rules for about 10 years. I plan on playing Tau in CT. First I'd like to say hello.
Hello.
Next, is there a new Tau codex coming out that will greatly affect they way I should build a small army?

Thanks

Welcome to Dakka!
It isn't confirmed that Tau will be getting a new codex, but there are rumours that they will be done fairly soon (there are 2 or 3 others that are likely to come before it though). But all of this is just what I've seen in the news & rumours section, so don't assume its right ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2702070.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2702070.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2702130.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2702130.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2702252.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2702252.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2702314.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2702314.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2703074.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2703074.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2703181.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2703181.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2703259.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2703259.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2704076.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2704076.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2707106.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2707106.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2707148.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2707148.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2707428.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2707428.page GMT
Yeah, you'll want to get the 4th edition codex and then the FAQ/Errata off of GWs website.

Do you already have an army or about to start out?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2707463.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2707463.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2710053.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2710053.page GMT If you’re looking for tactics or want some suggestions start a new thread in an appropriate section the people there will be more likely to answer your questions. I can't I never have nor will play Tau.

- A box or two of firewarriors (leave the shoulderpads off and use carbines and you can make pathfinders out of them)
- 2 more devilfish
- 2 skyray kits (as they also have all the bits for hammerheads)
- 3 broadsides
- 8 kroot hounds (you can convert fantasy chaos hounds if you have the will and inclination)
- 6-9 more crisis suits
- more kroot, if you like them, but avoid the krootox for now as the current rules really hamstring them.
- 3 pirahna (more if you like them because they can be in units of 5).

Getting this stuff, over time, will easily provide you a 2500-3000 pt army.

Anyway, like I said at the beginning, start off with the battleforce and see what you like and then just build from there. Tau are all about unit synergy and your play style will affect what works for you; moreso than more strategically forgiving armies like ultramarines.

Good luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2710267.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2710267.page GMT Dak!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2721875.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/362803/2721875.page GMT For far I have:
30 Firewarriors
12 Kroot
Whats the next step to get to 500?
