Bad news for Tau and Battlegrounds - UPDATED

[Sir_Prometheus]

It's weird, I find that upsetting in a way.  I prefer to play the army others don't, to make good with what others consider a "weak" army.  But they went ahead and made GK awesome, and now Tau.  Poor me. 

But then, it's always nice to have new toys.

That's a very odd complaint, but really all the 6th ed codexes are pretty awesome. If you're still upset you could always play Wood Elves in fantasy, they are quite terrible.

Eh, not really. That was a pretty big reason I started playing Sisters and why I hope they never get plastic models:)

 I play Wood Elves, and they aren't that terrible. You just need to know how to use what units for what purposes...

am I reading Shield Drones wrong? It says they just give themselves a 4+ invul. Is this supposed to coincide with wound allocation? I mean if I have a 12 man Fire Warrior Squad wounded by 6 AP 3 shots, if the shield Drone isnt upfront it cant take the saves. Even if it was, do the wounds go on it until it fails its invul save then the wounds start going on the fire warriors?

Yes, that's how I'd read that rule. It's just a normal infantry with a 4+ invulnerable. Treat it as you would any model for wound allocation. Hope your luck is good, take those saves one at a time with those shield drones.

Also addressed it in another post that you posted in with marine example.

Ok thats what I thought thanks!
