Here come the new Fire Warrior Equipment.
And a new unit of Tau infantry who are not afraid of “close encounters”
Some initial thoughts.
OK, while the old Pulse Carbine was pretty much ignored by Tau players, the Pulse Blaster is here to stay. If you can get into 5″ (and you BETTER), a solid volley of S:6 AP3 file will ruin a lot of bad guy’s days. I expect to see an offensive version of Fish of Fury of return!
The DS8 turret is really interesting, with both missile pod and SMS options. I think this will give the Tau infantry a multi-purpose role similar to Eldar Guardians thier Support platform – if a little more static…
Finally the defensive drone is a cheap way to get a 5+ invulnerable for the unit. Probably 12 pts well spent!
