Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Codex V.9 Tau Empire (En)

Product Information

They have the RR1s to Hit aura for Core units, they give a benefit to a group of Crisis suits, and Exemplar of Montka is a great buff, so yeah, I guess Buffmander still remains in some form. Space Marines were always going to be the longest book, with their 8,000,000 different units and bountiful sub-faction rules – but the 9th Edition codex is a seriously chonky tome,incorporating a whole raft of new rules from the Psychic Awakening series and the Adeptus Astartes’ own new Crusade rules. This allows players to move even their foot-slogging Fire Warriors into a commanding position early in the game, getting their new, improved pulse rifles into that all-important Rapid Fire range from the get-go.

Relic staff gives additional cast and +1 to cast roll (like Master of Sanctity) Aun’shi and Aun’va have this relic baked in and know a 3rd litany to boot. The different cultures and technological specialities within the T’au Empire can provide a huge variety of benefits to a custom sept – ranging from missile expertise and pinpoint marksmanship to die-hard loyalty and special defensive doctrines. Sadly, this bonus doesn’t apply if you fell back that turn or are engaged, although it does apply during Overwatch attacks.This means that they can set up a charge in the Movement phase, thin down the enemy in the Shooting phase, move into combat in the Charge phase, and finish off the opponent in the Fight phase. If he jumps over an enemy in the movement phase, you can do d3 MW to them on a 2+ (one enemy unit per phase) So, like the biggest bird poop ever. There’s an extended Crusade rules section, plenty of point tweaks, and new rules for using prayers and hymns. Besides that, the Custodes got extensively updated subfaction rules for the different Shieldhosts, and new,switchable ‘martial ka’tah’ buffs – as well as theusual bundle of new Stratagems, Relics, and Warlord Traits. Farsight has A5 and does that “Choose Double weak attacks or Single, 2x 3 dmg attacks” that all the real characters do now.

Like many other 9E books, armies composed in the new codex look more like… well, armies in the fluff than perhaps ever before. It also contains a “comprehensive Crusade section”, 56 unit datasheets, an army of renown for Be’lakor, 25 warlord traits, 24 relics, and 36 stratagems. He has a degree in Politics and a Master’s in International Journalism, but failed his cycling proficiency test twice.Its 184 pages contain 55 pages of lore;51 pages of main faction rules (including legion-specific rules, warlord traits, relics, and more); 19 pages of rules for the Crusade narrative mode, and 44 unit datasheets.

It also included some of the most interesting thematic rule-building GW has yet tried with its new Crusade campaign system, in the form of custom-concocted plagues for your Death Guard warband, each affecting nearby enemies in slightly different, yet equally revolting ways and developing in potency over successive games. Each one is designed for a specific purpose, whether it’s sneaking behind enemy lines or assaulting vital links in their command chain, and they’re all potent force multipliers on the battlefield. They know what they’re doing – with both pulse rifles and pulse carbines levelling up in the new codex, the Breacher Team’s pulse blasters also gain a little extra oomph. It will come as no surprise that my beloved Battlesuit boys are sitting right down there in the bottom tier. They move 6″, which is standard for an infantry unit, and have weapon skill 5+ and ballistic skill 4+, both common to virtually all Tau units.No specific release date was given,but GWsaid it wouldbe one ofthe “first new codexes coming in 2022”.

There are six major septs in codex T’au, from the ubiquitous T’au and Vior’la to the more specialised Dal’yth and Bork’an. It’s important not to underestimate how strong the ability to choose your Philosophy after deployment is, as this affords you a ton of flexibility in responding to how the enemy has set up and whether or not you won the roll-off to go first, both critical factors for a shooting army like Tau.

Each time a model in that unit makes a ranged attack against a unit with one or more Markerlight Tokens, add 1 to that attack’s hit roll. The last special rule we’ll talk about is one that is a big enough deal I wanted to discuss it in some more detail- Philosophies of War. The Strike Team does not serve much of a role in the context of the Tau army, because it lacks both the ability to deliver effective firepower as well as the ability to effectively hold objectives. 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.
