Yup. With the little turret thing it's also close enough to the FW Repressors to work as them and, by extension, non-silly-looking Exorcists for the folks who want to use them as Sisters.

I am quite tempted by most of this stuff, but I have hardly scratched the surface of my Epic Orks.

I reckon I should right myself up Minigeddon list so that I have a target.

That's how I'm approaching my Tau - and the Onslaught guy's fairly leisurely release pace helps too. Minigeddon turned out to be good fun too - the main drawback being that you can't really bring anything bigger than a superheavy tank or two.

I am going to try and squeeze as many stompers and dreadnoughts in 1000pts as I can. No idea how good it will be in combat, but it will look sexy.

The not-Tau vehicles are "coming soon" - as soon as they drop, I'm ordering my first 1000 points and will get to tell y'all about the quality of the models and such.

Nice. Still waiting to see them in the flesh though.

So the Tau stuff is up for pre-order. It'll cost about $150 US to get the core of my force - not too bad, considering, but there's a bunch of other stuff I want to buy these days. Time to do some negotiating for the use of the winter bonus!

Holiday bundles are my foe.

Hmm, between the infantry bundle and the tank bundle that's be about 3 man for more minis than I'd ever really need, but then again I'd never need to buy any more... Man, I wish I had more money. :lol:

Why not see if there is anyone willing to split the order? You get an army, they get an army, everyone is happy.
