That might have something to do with it lol

Having had a good look at things, this is a good looking range. Just behind the Dark Eldar if not equal to, in my opinion. Could be tempting, but with Relic Knights due to ship soon, the challenge of painting that style, may be filled with that.
The edge paint range, re-release has been well timed by the evil overlords.

Had a look at the Codex today and from an outsiders perspective, I'm impressed. A few of the actual 40k players had a peek to exclamations of "That's ridiculous!" Etc.
Although I am puzzled by one thing; Why is the Riptide a Monstrous Creature?

It doesn't have Hull Points, so it's not a vehicle. It's too large to be a regular infantry man, so it's Monstrous. A guess it being a Dread would have made sense, but T6 and W5 it's sick enough.

Pretty much the same as the Dreadknight for Grey Knights then.

Plus a Monstrous creature is harder to kill than something with Hull points (at least that is my expierance) and they are trying to shoehorn in a MC in every release now. Apparently there is one on the way for the new Marine codex as well.....

Well make sure you ship mine early as i waited up to midnight to be one of the first orders at TWG!

Speaking to a friend who is in the know Thursday evening, the vast majority of Indy stockists will receive little or no stock of the new tau models on Saturday due to the massive demand, so that they can stock their own stores first.
What a bummer.
The delay will most likely be a week but could be up to 2 in some cases.
