new tau dex

[orkblasta]

there might have already been a thread about this, so if there is just send me a link.

anyways i just heard there is supposed to be a new tau dex in just under a year. My source was from a solid gamer who's been gaming for many years and has his own connections within the fortress that is GW.

But my real question is, what have you heard? I know the new crons are going to be released in just a bit but tau are supposed to be just after.

Thoughts, criticisms, ideas?

cheers.

Sisters are next, with a WD/.pdf Dex, then 'Crons with the next proper Dex release. After that, it gets pretty hazy, and the 6th Ed Rumours have put some potential monkey wrenches in most of the timelines that people had put together. If 6th Ed actually comes out this fall, next is Chaos Legions, or some such, and probably Tau shortly thereafter. If 6th is actually coming out next year, I would guess that Black Templars will come out between 'Crons and Tau, since GW almost always alternate Imperial and Xenos Dexes.

This is pretty much all just guesswork past the next couple of months, though, GW's been clamping down more tightly on rumours lately, and past Necrons, the slow of even semi-reliable info is basically dry.

from what i have heard is
sista's
ncrons
black temp
6ed
Chaos books
then tau. but that that with a grain of salt

[helvete]

wonder if this means the Tau will get even less interesting.

Yay. More F***ing Marines. Can't they all use the same Dex. It's like Hive Fleets Behmoth, Kraken and Leviathan all having a different Codex. Unfair.

Are we ever going to get our 2nd wave? Probably not. GW will just leave us alone until we fade out of existance. Grrr.

DE have got all the stuff in their Dex within a year but it's been over two years for Nids and still nothin!

The Nids will fade out as much as the Zoats....

Wait....

To be fair, the Templar are probably one of the most unique of the Space Marine chapters and DE had nothing for 12 years. They deserve all the attention they're getting. If you think Nids have it bad, imagine going more than a decade with 70% of your army's miniatures cast in metal and no additional releases.

We're due our second wave this year and regardless of whether the next codex was Templar, Chaos or Tau the schedule probably wouldn't change.

Also, BT is going to be one of the few chapters that ward doesnt get his grubby tentacles all over. Which is just as well considering that he hate their guts...

Hehehe ^^ My BT fan boy friends will be happy if Ward won't get his hands in to them... But wait... Will that mean that Ward will be writing sisters? No... Not possibly... He is busy right now with 'crons ATM isn't he? Two Marine Dex's who will not be written by ward? Terrific >

I'm not fully sure of the line up for the new releases but I know that SoB and crons are getting a update this year. For one 6 ED most likely wont come out this year (about three years since 5ED) but if they come out with chaos marines That are playable on a competitive level that'd be great
(>'.')><('.')><('.'<) uniting chaos since 3001

[aramil]

Personally, I don't mind lots of marine chapters so long as they all play differently. GKs are probably the best for that so far, though BA's focus on fast troops helps it somewhat. SW wouldn't be so bad, but the models that make them unqiue (the wolf ones) don't exist. The Sisters codex will probably be more of an IG GK codex, which could prove interesting. Other than that, I know next to nothing about the rest of the marine codexes.

Ya know I am pretty sure I have heard most of the non 5th edition codexes will get a release 'within a year' they must be pretty busy....

The only ones I've heard that about are those still struggling along with 3rd Ed Dexes: 'Crons and Sisters.

The Armies with 4th Ed Dexes will probably not be too far behind, but I don't think they're all coming out within the year.

[kingfisher773]

They are having SoB come out with the inquisition which should be interesting
(encase you wanted to know ). If they were to come out with a chaos marine codex and they get ward to do it then the dignity of chaos would be lost

[seahawk]

6ed can't possibly be this year. It's only been 3 years since the last edition and they've never dropped another so soon, especially since this edition doesn't have that many problems.

Otherwise as stated, Sisters of Battle in August, Necrons sometime after and then who knows.
