New Tau Battlesuit Rules and a Theory
So the article today on the Wathammer Community site for the upcoming Tau Codex caused me to think for a moment.
There's a few things in there to ponder: Are drones going to be part of the unit, or do they fork off into a separate unit once the battle starts.
But the big one is, I wonder if they are going to change the weapon loadout from the current 3 weapon/support systems to 2 weapons + 1 support system. This would allow them to really make the XV8 more flexible without dropping firepower. Also they could make the XV8 Bodyguards more different from the standard XV8s by giving them a 2/2 or 3/1 weapon/support loadouts.
What do you guys think?
