Review: Codex Tau Empire Bullet Format

• Same format as Chaos Space Marines and Dark Angels Space Marines
• No Demiurg - the squats or any version of them are not back
• New race mentioned "Nagi" described as mind controlling worms who are now advisors to the Ethereal caste
• That sound suspicious to anyone else?
• Second new flyer kit pending "Razorshark Strike Fighters"
• Burst cannon, quad ion turret, 2 seeker missiles, no drones
• The new "Riptide" suit is an elite choice (not a heavy) and it's a monstrous creature wearing a jet pack

New Dark Angels Codex Review - Bullet Format

No long winded paragraphs. Here are my thoughts on what I think you might care about in easy to read one liners.

• Well constructed full color book in a similar design to the new Chaos Space Marine codex
• No Cypher here either
• Interesting updated fluff.
• Internal page number references all over the place so information is easy to find
• 10 man Deathwing terminator squads are now possible
• Deathwing and Ravenwing can exist in the same army list
• The Mind Worm Psyker power is still there but is completely different and is for Ezekiel only.
• 1 New flyer in 2 variants, no Stormtalon, no Stormraven
• All rules and wargear updated appropriately in line with the new generation of the main rules, but not over the top.
• Fold out reference pages in very back
• New faq is already available here
• It's $ .05 (U.S.) less than the new Chaos Space Marine Codex... wtf.

I've pulled these from a few places around the web. They've been turning up the last couple of days. As always... I don't know where they started or who had them first. To the originator whoever you are... thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou.

New Chaos Space Marine Codex Review - Bullet Format

No long winded paragraphs. Here are my thoughts on what I think you might care about in easy to read one liners.

• Helbrute = Chaos Dreadnought. The Chaos Dreadnought is gone but the Helbrute is for all intents the same.
• Khorne Berzerkers, Thousand Sons, Plague Marines, and Noise Marines are all elite choices.
• Can be taken as troops if you take the appropriate character.
• No Legion specific rules except for the above 4 units and the usual Marks of Chaos, but no rules for Alpha Legion, Iron Warriors, Night Lords, Red Corsairs, etc.
• No Cypher even though he's on GW site as an HQ choice for ordering (2 to 3 week despatch? possible clue?)
• Chaos Cultists are troops and can take Marks of Chaos just like standard Chaos Space Marines
• Chaos Spawn are a Fast Attack choice. 1 to 5 per squad at 30 pts each.
• All rules and wargear updated appropriately in line with the new generation of the main rules.
• No drop pods.
• Fold out reference pages in very back
