About this deal

If your sept does not have an associated Sept Tenet, you must instead create a new Sept Tenet for them, as described here. This allows you to customise the rules for your sept to best represent their fighting style.

Are you excited about these new Tau codex Markerlight 40k rules? What rules changes would you like to see? The pulse blastcannon isn’t the only option you have available. For annihilating elite infantry at extreme range, the pulse driver cannon is your go-to instrument of destruction, but you’ll need to wait for the arrival of Codex: T’au Empire to find out just how good it is. Though united by the Greater Good, each T’au sept world has a distinct cultural identity which influences all aspects of life – including its approach to war. The Empire’s many septs fight in markedly different ways, and the upcoming Codex: T’au Empire gives you a toolbox of options for how your army approaches the business of battle. The article breaks down the game’s factions into a number of tiers, with the strongest armies in the top tier, and so on. Many of the author’s conclusions in the article will not come as a surprise to anyone who is familiar with competitive 40k: Space Marines are strong. Harlequins are strong. Death Guard are strong. You get the idea. Fire Markerlights (Action): One or more Markerlight units from your army can start to perform this action at the start of your movement phase. Aircraft Markerlight units can perform this action. The action is completed at the start of your next shooting phase. If this action is successfully completed, for each model in that unit that is equipped with one or more markerlights, for each markerlight that model is equipped with, select one enemy unit within 36″ of that model that would be an eligible target for that model if its unit had been selected to shoot, and roll one D6: on a 3+, that enemy unit gains one Markerlight token.Speaking as a player who has always liked the Tau most out of all the factions, I am very happy with this new book- it offers a distinct change from past incarnations of Tau, but one that feels more in line with their lore and that pushes many of the aspects of the army (like speed and flexibility) that I think epitomize what drew me to the army. It still remains to be seen whether Tau will be a “top tier” faction that ranks up with Custodes, Drukhari, GK, etc, but they most certainly are in the running for being in that group and I think there is virtually no chance that they won’t be a competitively-viable army for at least some time to come, which is what you really want out of a codex. Next week we will start diving into the nitty-gritty of the codex with a discussion of the various Sept options and what they bring to the table. Some ideas for fixes. Implementing all of these would probably be broken! but I hope some of them are interesting. Breachers have the Sweep and Clear Strat (Ignore cover, reroll wounds), Strikes have the Relentless Fusillade Strat (Ignore Rapid Fire rules, double shots, additional point of AP), Assault 3, S8, AP-2, D2. Any Infantry, Beast, or Cavalry unit hit by this weapon halves their Move characteristic until your next Shooting phase. (Cannot reduce Move to less than half, if combined with other similar effects. I don’t know where those effects are in this codex, I’ll have to dig for them)

He also can choose a Farsight Enclaves Core unit at the beginning of the Fight phase and give them +1 to Hit in Melee for the phase. Moreover, we have few units that can effectively tarpit an objective. T’au troops are far too fragile to sit on an objective for multiple turns, and our big Battlesuits are useless in the face of an opponent’s obsec units. This in no way means your sept is bereft of choice. Each sector contains four different tenets to choose from, meaning there are a total of almost 100 different combinations on offer. A FARSIGHT ENCLAVES Detachment is one that only includes models with the FARSIGHT ENCLAVES keyword (excluding models with the T’AU AUXILIARY and UNALIGNED keyword). If you selected the Kauyon Tactical Philosophy at the start of the battle and it is the third, fourth or fifth battle round, select up to three DEVILFISH models from your army.There are a few things to break down here. With an AP of -6 and the ability to ignore invulnerable saves, your payload will be making it through almost any kind of energy field, daemonic protection, or battle plate that might stand in its way.

9E Tau Codex Review: Overview and Special Rules

Diplomatic Excellence (Aura) : While a friendly DAL’YTH or T’AU AUXILIARY unit (excluding CHARACTER units) is within 6" of this WARLORD, add 1 to the Leadership characteristic of models in that unit. While a VEHICLE or DRONE unit is performing the Fire Markerlights action, that unit can move without that action failing. If it does, until the end of the turn, models in that unit without the VEHICLE or DRONE keyword that are equipped with any markerlights are treated as not being equipped with any markerlights for the purpose of the Fire Markerlights action.If a unit contains both DRONE models (which can FLY) and models which cannot FLY – like Pathfinders – can the whole unit move as if it can FLY (e.g. can Pathfinder models move over other models as if they were not there when moving, just because there is a DRONE model in their unit and therefore that unit has the FLY keyword)?
