Tau will be next for 40K, not sure they’ll get much new though, possibly just another “Codex and Cards” codex release. Looking like October for that, Age of Sigmar has a lot to get through release-wise.
And let’s catch up on the older rumors from a bit back:

Here are some parting truths about Tau:
They will have a new Fire Warrior box. Two types of units can be made.
New Crisis Suits
More commander suits
New Riptide sized Suit that has large missiles
Looks like a Tau Aegis Defense line with circular weapon platforms.
Don’t know about the rules, so don’t ask.
Tau Rumor Roundup
So we have three folks so far all pointing in the same general direction. Reading between the lines points to a late September-early October release window for the Blue Fish-Commies. Product-wise it looks like a Codex, Cards, 1-2 kits release window. New Crisis Suits seems to be the common denominator on everyone’s reports. There is older chatter of more kits/terrain, but nothing to back it up recently.
