New Tau models look very nice.

Also saw 3 new 40k scale IG SHT's. "Arkurion" pattern Stormblades, Shadowswords & Stormswords. They are a lot cheaper than previous resin kits- ?85 vs ?140.

But as a long time IG players in both scales and with slight leanings to treadhead tendancies, even I am moved to ask the question "why??". I mean the Malcador and Macahrius look cool and differen enough from Baneblade/Shadowsword to add something interesting.

But another pattern for 3 exisiting SHT's?? Why.....  Especially with adding another made up Forgeworld pattern name that, to my knowledge, has never been used before. If anything I would hope to see more Ryza/Triplex Phall/Gryphonne/Vanaheim pattern figures so we could see the contrasts of their designs compared to the standard Mars/Armageddon patterns. Why add a new pattern name?

I guess if they came out with an Epic version I would buy some out of completeness.

Cheers

James

Warmaster Nice: The new baneblade variants are based off of the new plastic Baneblade hull.

Thus they're cheaper, because they're only 40% resin, as compared to the 100% resin of the previous Forgeworld Baneblade-variant tanks.

I saw these, and very nice they are. Even I have to question the requirement for yet more Tau Air Caste units, though!

The Aerial Mines are tiny, a Gun Drone on a flying base.  :D

The AX-2-2 is really nice, and I may need a couple just for the cool minis.

I just love the look of the Remora Drones!

Will have to hold back on getting some for a while though.

I have to agree with you C/S. But G/W-F/W has to keep making uneeded models to sell !  Look at the IG, version after version of the same AFVs.  Even the WWII Germans couldn't match them !  :laugh:  Any way, I may have asked this before, (I'm old, so humor me!), so how do they work in game ?! Remoras would work just like any fighter ?  What about the AX 2-2, besides the Remora Drones ?  And the air mines, floating Gun Drones, as C/S mentioned ?  No movement ?  How are they deployed ?  Dropped by the AX 2-2 ?  I need some intell people !  There is a war going on ! :O :;): :O

Look like good candidates for heavy drone and sniper drone conversions with the additions of a few bits of plastic rod and wire.
