Tau next or not? [CLOSED]

[macejase]

I've been reading through all the rumours and round ups about 40k and everyone seems to be talking about 6th edition and Chaos Legions at the moment, and yet there was rumours that Tau would be coming in June (some of them less than a month ago) that nobody has seemed to confirm or deny or say anything else about. So does anyone know if they are actually coming out in June or not?

[Nicho]

Nope tau won't be out for at least another year.

[FerociousBeast]

Earliest possibility is first quarter 2013, but that's not for certain. If not then, though, soon after.

Now cometh lock!

Ok so just to clarrify, this was a lie...?

After a few months of silence, the Tau rumours have started up again:

Demiurg will be real in the codex. As Shabbadoo said my sources also point to a June release. I have also heard about a Tau "Mako" aircraft.

Oops! Sorry, I misunderstood and was off by a month, not my source. I got corrected on that today.

Tau in June.

I have no details unfortunately.

It might be a bit direct to call them a lie, but yes. They were wrong.

Be prepared to see this locked any minute now.

[DuskRaider]

Read forum rules first. No, Tau are not next.

[Romanus]

Sounds alot like rumor reverb from some sources on here that got it wrong. Sorry but Tau aren't for a while yet.

Cheers,

Harry has been saying they are likely the first codex of 2013... And I always bet on pie. Worst case possibility late 2013.

[Hokiecow]

Not

[MajorWesJanson]

Tau are not in June.
June 2 is the trio of fliers
June 16 is some fantasy figures and finecast.
June 30 (or July 7) should be the BRB for 6th Edition 40K

Tau are supposedly the first 40K codex of 2013, following Chaos Marines as the first codex of 6th edition.

There may be a second wave of fliers before the end of the year, which may possibly include a Tau aircraft.

Think I covered everything of relevance.

I kinda figured this thread would be closed by now, personally. Sort of like the strange feeling of standing around after expecting an explosion that doesn't happen.

Which June? It may be a June...

Tau like many armies will be updated thru a FAQ when 6th launches. It could completely make them viable in a tournament setting depending on FAQ and 6th. This could almost feel like a new army because of this. As far as any random releases, who knows? Though I wouldn't be surprised if GW released a tau unit, new or redone. As certain as any of us might assume, everything is a rumor and nothing is for certain unless Hasting says so.

[MajorWesJanson]

The FAQ will be rules patches, wording changes, and such. not new units, new options, or realigned point costs.
