[QUOTE=Jack Trades;34038843]Again, what the fuck is a FoK Campaign? I have latest version of FoK installed, 3.6 RC 4530 and there's [I]no 'Campaign' button[/I] in the main menu at all.[/QUOTE] 3.5 still has it enabled. Newer =/= better

[editline]4th January 2012[/editline] Wow ninjers.

[QUOTE=suppertime;34039168]3.5 still has it enabled.[/QUOTE] I see. Well I can't find a changelog for 3.6 and the Campaign seems to be buggy so I'd rather stick to 3.6 for now.

Decided to play some Dark Crusade again, destroyed the Imperial Guard base with just 2 squads of Warriors, and the Chaos base with 2 squads of Warriors and the Monolith.

What edition of tau codex should I be looking for?

4ed, the only one that exists currently. However, my LGS is hearing February to March for Tau models and codex. I don't know if that fits with the 6ed release though.

Yes. I'm holding off on expanding my army until it happens.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;34040334]4ed, the only one that exists currently. However, my LGS is hearing February to March for Tau models and codex.

[QUOTE=LuaChobo;34041615]Giving up on playing necrons simlpy due to slow expansion early on. What race guys. What race. [Dark Crusade that is][/QUOTE] Imperial Guard. Just rush everything with Guardsmen, and later equip them with grenadelunchers

[QUOTE=Scar;34041734]Imperial Guard. Just rush everything with Guardsmen, and later equip them with grenadelunchers[/QUOTE] Plasmaspam Guardsmen rape everything that's infantry.

But nadelunchers knock everything down

[QUOTE=Scar;34041835]But nadelunchers knock everything down[/QUOTE] Juggle entire squads of everything!

THE TAU CODEX IS A 5E CODEX. But GW are not retards. The Necron codex was designed for 6e and so will the Tau codex. So they're more like 5.5e

[QUOTE=suppertime;34042146]THE TAU CODEX IS A 5E CODEX. But GW are not retards. The Necron codex was designed for 6e and so will the Tau codex. So they're more like 5.5e[/QUOTE] Wait, do you have a source on this? Is it confirmed that the Tau codex is next?

[QUOTE=Scar;34041835]But nadelunchers knock everything down[/QUOTE] My least favorite mechanic of the original DoW games was how explosives would knock things over. It'd be fine... if they weren't invincible while being knocked around. [editline]3rd January 2012[/editline] Speaking of being invincible, I wonder why they never fixed the amount of sync kills the Big Mek would do. Every melee kill turned into one, and it was invincible during them...

[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;34042228]Wait, do you have a source on this? Is it confirmed that the Tau codex is next?[/QUOTE] The rumor mill is rarely wrong. Current release schedule is Q1 slot Tau, Q2 6e + Kay Os (crab in the bucket), Q3 is Eldar Nothing is confirmed but these are the rumors. People doubted the necron rumors too. [editline]4th January 2012[/editline] SPEAKING OF UPDATES. Why did spehss mehrine on steam just update? I'd google it but I'm getting off the computer as I type this, time to watch some Dr.Who with the ol' GF

Let the record state that I hate those pansy spess elves.

So basically Tau codex will implement a lot of the rumored stuff in 6e, but still be perfectly playable in 5e?

The better question is of course: Will Tau be more Grimdark or Animu style in the next codex?

[QUOTE=gufu;34042931]The better question is of course: Will Tau be more Grimdark or Animu style in the next codex?[/QUOTE] They will get cooler models, but they will worship rowboat girlyman as their SPIRITUAL LIEGE

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;34042623]So basically Tau codex will implement a lot of the rumored stuff in 6e, but still be perfectly playable in 5e?[/QUOTE] No but the codex will be balanced for the 6e rules and will play nicely with them.

[QUOTE=LuaChobo;34042942]Yeah chose imperial guardsmen. Rape everywhere.[/QUOTE] A friend I play DoW with keeps telling me IG is horridly underpowered because their infantry units have "low health and morale" or some shit and that they're only allowed one squad of Kasrkin and Ogryns I want to punch him sometimes

[QUOTE=gufu;34042931]The better question is of course: Will Tau be more Grimdark or Animu style in the next codex?[/QUOTE] They're the least grimdark race of all. Rumor mill thinks that Chaos is going to try and start corrupting Tau. Maybe they will be more grimdark though...

That Ultimate Apocalypse mod looks a lot like Supreme Commander, imo

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;34040334]4ed, the only one that exists currently. However, my LGS is hearing February to March for Tau models and codex. I don't know if that fits with the 6ed release though.[/QUOTE] IG Codex is up to 5th Ed.

[QUOTE=Mastahamma;34043491]That Ultimate Apocalypse mod looks a lot like Supreme Commander, imo[/QUOTE] If it is, then I need to get it.

OP needs more info on pre-DoW games as well as Tabletop games such as Necromunda and Battlefield Gothic.
