Почему батлфорс релизнется 4 апреля?

Неужели кризов придется брать? (6 дронов...

Re: Tau rumours

Re-post from Siyath on ATT: http://advancedtautactica.com/viewto...sd=a&start=640

Alright, some more then. In random order, what I could deduce from the battlereport and decipher from the images.

All ion weapons are apparently overchargeable. This leads us to the two Interceptor Drones on the Sunshark. They're detachable, and armed with ionrifles that can be overcharged to produce a S8 Blast each. Fairly neat, I'd say. So the Sunshark's weaponry is twin-linked missile pod, 2 Interceptor Drones with twin-linked ionrifles, 2 seeker missiles and of course the main bombing armament. And the Sunshark is a Fast Attack choice in the FOC.

Speaking of FOC, looks like it's confirmed that the Riptide is indeed an Elite slot - no indication to the amount you can field, though. Curiously enough, in the 'rep lists the entry says "One XV104 Riptide..." which could be interpreted that there might be a way to field more in a single Elite slot. Don't know how far-fetched that is, but still...

Velocity Tracker is the Skyfire upgrade. Riptides and Broadsides at least can field these.

The ionrifle that the Pathfinders field contraticts a little with it being said being exclusive to the Pathfinders, but still the drones can field it too. But it seems to be the same weapon. Probably with severe restrictions (like 1 per team or 1 per 5 Pathfinders) but it does compete with the existing rail rifle. Pathfinders are still in Fast Attack.

Supporting Fire is an army special rule, so if not all, then at least a vast majority of the army possesses this. At least Broadsides did, according to the 'rep. And well, it is an army special rule. And yes, this is the one enabling nearby units to overwatch in addition to the just one that's being assaulted.

Stealth teams are still in Elite-slot. And the upgrade for BS2 overwatch is called "Counterfire defence systems". Hard to say if this is a support system or a team upgrade.

Broadsides still in Heavy Support.

For some odd reason all Crisis-suits seemed to be carrying the bonding knife. Not just the team leader anymore, apprently. And deducing from the hardpoint choices, multitracker indeed seems to be built in to the suits now. Still no idea what the elusive Puretide engram neurochip actually does, but it is carried by the XV8-05 commander in the 'rep. CIB and AFP are still experimental, it seems.

There's a codex size-comparison chart for the battlesuits, where it can be seen how the new Enforcer suit and the Broadside suit is 1,5 times as tall as the regular XV8. Not sure how well this translates to the models, but with what we've seen, that may be the case pretty accurately.

Deducing from the markerlight usage in the 'rep, the Crisis and the Broadsides still remain as BS3 units.

That's about it, I'll come back with more if I notice anything worthwhile.

[edit: Oh, and the Riptide's Ion Accelerator is S8 Large Blast when overcharged. Not S9, remembering that it's been speculated.]

С варсира ;)

Правятся. Но иногда - с большим опозданием.

[PeakMind]

кодекс дарк ангелов обновляется, причем довольно часто. И эти кодексы они просто божественны... Все очень удобно и быстро, не хватает только армибилдера туда)

Ну юнитов побольше будет, да и плюс у нас был кодекс старого формата, многих частей имеющихся в современных кодексах в нашем просто нет, отсюда увеличение веса.

Tau go on advanced order this Saturday, avoid the rush and pre-order early!

From Faeit's Blog

There has been some question to images that have been floating around, simply because only the partial images are making the rounds. Here it is, the full image, just not in English.

A huge thanks to all of those that sent me links and images.

Also I have been told, but not yet seen, that the cover image is going to be on page 25 of the new White Dwarf.

Firewarriors now able to take target lock

stealth suits with counterfire defence systems

stealth suits with velocity tracker

seems all ion weapons can be overcharged - interceptor drones boosted ion rifles to strength 8.

There is a mail order set of Farsight Enclave shoulder pads for Fire Warriors.

Darkstrider is male.

Kroot are in.

Farsight is a rebel but still loyal.

You see the heightened field on top of the bomber wings? You can push them open and see the seeker missiles underneath.

The missile Broadside is really full of missiles

thats about all at the moment....

XV88 Broadside - Twin linked Heavy Rail Rifle - ага, то есть эта штука будет так называться..

6 типов дронов у пасов - надо брать в первом заказе)

CAdre fireblade - 3w IC - кто-то может расшифровать мне?

И чем обычно отличаются лимитные издания кодексов от обычных?

Extras

No mention at all about the Railgun on the XV104. And to clear things up, there's no railgun / railcannon difference. Rail rifles are the smallest caliber wielded by drones and Pathfinders, a heavy rail rifle is wielded by the Broadsides and the railgun is the Hammerhead's main armament.

To clarify, there are two 'Vre bodyguards for the commander in the battlereport armylist entry

Re-reading some parts of the batrep, the passage is worded in such way that it's actually not exactly possible to say whether it's S8 overcharged or just... well, interpret yourselves, good people : ) It goes like this "...the Riptide's overcharged S8 Ion Accelerator would have inflicted Instant Death on..." But I'd guess the rumours about normally it firing about 4 or so S7 shots and overcharged it would be S8 Large Blast would be rather near on the money.

--Disagree on his assertion about Crisis team size. Yeah, the image on the page describing the Commander has four suits (one white-helmet, presumably Shas'vre), but the player in the battrep only takes three: two 'ui and one 'vre, as we're used to. Additionally, every other shot of a Crisis team in the mag is 3 suits.

And it's not unknown for the photographers to get stuff wrong, either. Note the "action shot" of Darkstrider (...srsly, Vetock? El'myamoto? You couldn't come up with /anything/ better?); says he's leading a Pathfinder team, where in fact there's about as many Fire Warriors as there are Pathfinders in the picture.

--The Riptide apparently comes with a main gun, a support weapon system (TL plasma rifles and TL fusion blasters we've seen so far), and /five/ support systems.

--It looks like the Riptide's arm mounts are reversible, as the suit in the battrep has the main gun and shield switched (gun in left hand).

--...Speaking of support systems, Stealth, Crisis, Crisis Enforcer and Riptide armors all come with Multitrackers and BSFs built in (WD page 161, Codes page 70).

--Pathfinders appear to have lost a point of armor...

--...Maybe they left it back at base, with the Devilfish. In the battrep, two Pathfinder teams... no Devilfish in sight!

--Stealth suits still get Stealth and Shrouded.

--Might be another case of getting it wrong (it's a personal army, not a studio army), but the Hammerhead in the battrep has both SMS and a chin-mount burst cannon.

--Broadsides still get TL plasma or SMS as secondary weapons, in addition to a single Seeker on a shoulder mount if they want it.

--The Broadside's alternate primary, the High Yield Missile Pod, appears to be an amped-up MP rather than an SMS variant.

--The Recon Drone (the big one in the Pathfinder kit) sits in the turret cupola of a devilfish, and serves some kind of C&C and fire support role... and carries a burst cannon!

--It looks like the Commander comes with more than one set of hands (or his hands are poseable), as they're shown both open-handed and fists-clenched.

--The Dawn Blade is described as being a power glaive.

--Shadowsun's shield drones are not the standard type. Hers are called out specifically as MV52 Shield Drones.

--She also appears to be able to join units now, as in the battrep she is deployed in the middle of the stealth unit and later the 'nid player refers to the XV-15s as "her Stealth team" as a Zoathrope brood and Tyrant open up on them, finishing off the team and wounding her.

--Markerlights appear to be able to completely negate a cover save with a single hit. Other uses sound like they're the same.

--Submunition rounds are apparently an upgrade for the Hammerhead.

--Repulsor Impact Field: carried by one of the Shas'vre bodyguards. D6 S4 AP- hits to an attacker at initiative 10! It gacks a Genestealer at one point.

--Sun Sharks/Razorsharks are quite small. Article describes the main fuselage as Piranha-sized with Devilfish proportions.

--standard XV-8 is only shoulder-high on an Enforcer, which is only shoulder-high on a Broadside, which is barely more than waist-high on a Riptide! A Crisis suit doesn't even get eye-level with the Riptide's hips, and Stealth suits barely make it to the 104's knees! I think GK players are going to find themselves feeling a little... inadequate.

--All of the weapons, support systems, and heads from the Crisis, Enforcer, Broadside and Riptide kits (except the Riptide and Broadside main guns) are interchangeable with one another.

Хммм, взяли текущий кодекс, добавили фишечек, 3 новых юнита и бэк. Молодцы, все как надо.

Пока все очень вкусно. Особенно Ошасера, что к стелсам джайнится может, ей этого не хватало.

Еще интересны вардорд трейты

Еще же новые дроны ^^

Она и раньше так называлась, просто не докупалась за деньги.

По предмету - новые Тау великолепны. Все и сразу. Пользуясь тем, что две армии уже собраны третьей буду, несомненно, собирать именно их. Интересно только, что сделают с круутами и прочими союзниками - уберут их навряд ли, но даже если сделают простым довеском будет неприятно. (а напрягает то, что из последних слухов полностью исчез Круутский HQ, о котором говорили в начале.)

Знающие самолеты люди, поясните по поводу ракетной установке на бомбардировщике: ее расположение сверху корпуса абсолютно неправильно с точки зрения аэродинамики? Ведь при стрельбе ракеты влегкую заденут корпус, да и сопротивление установка оказывает немалое. Короче, по всем законам самолетостроения размещение ракетной турели сверху абсолютно неправильно, так?
