New rumours point to this being very close to being released! Yay!
Hi,
the new Tau Empire Codex is rumoured to come April (or May latest). The plot is thickening and more credible rumours and some facts start to come up. i will try to keep this first post updated, but at first only post new stuff.
Here the two previous threads on tau rumours:

New rumours and info:
From an anonymous email to Darnok over at Warseer:
Every 3-4 months, as an independent retailer, we get a list of items that must be stocked. These are changed in advanced so we don't order old stock, and to give us a change to sell off old stock before new items turn up. The last one in about October / November added a few basic Marine items but dropped Tau Battlesuits, which would tie in with concepts of new battlesuits and new Tau for Spring / Easter.
Huru MorDae on ATT wrote:Today a friend of mine working in management for a hobby store received a call from his supplier asking for all tau hammerheads, broadsides, and codex to be pulled from the shelves and returned to gw.
Elaith over at Warseer wrote:Could well be nothing but in reading through at least a couple of articles in this months White Dwarf, there are references to Staffers working on Tau forces.
Jeremy's article starts with him working on a FW Battlesuit and later someone is mentioned to be working on a Tau force.
Likely nothing, but are staffers getting their Tau forces moving prior to release... only time will tell.
And, with the usual amount of salt:
an Anonmyous Source from the Faeit 212 inbox wrote:None of the Forgeworld suits will be in the new Tau codex.
There are two new suits, however and the crisis and broadsides are both being redone and are very distinct from one another.
The hazard suits will remain as a Forgeworld supplement and are even referenced in the fluff in a few places. They're just non-standard issue and still considered in prototype for various reasons.
The Kroot hq replaces the 1+ requirement on fire warriors with a Kroot unit.
And the book is finished. Has been for a while.
