Cities of Death: First Preview

March 2006·p. 13

THE SHORT VERSION

The forthcoming urban expansion promises tactical choices before the battle through stratagems rather than requiring a specially built army. New plastic building sections are designed to fit together in many arrangements and give city boards a more consistent Imperial appearance. The preview links these physical kits to a wider summer of urban fighting, offering an early description rather than a complete rules system.

Editorial: For the Greater Good

Owen Rees introduces the expanded Tau Empire, especially Shadowsun, the Vespid and the new vehicles. The army deal offers an early opportunity to collect them before the normal release, while returning Tallarn models and Specialist Games releases provide other temptations. A free Golden Demon booklet and the coming summer campaign round out a month whose centrepiece is the Tau’s renewed expansion.

The Greater Good: Tau Empire Designer’s Notes

Andy Hoare explains how the Tau’s Third Sphere expansion changes the army’s identity and its revised codex. New auxiliaries and vehicles widen the force’s options while battlesuit equipment and markerlights deepen its characteristic coordination. The discussion moves from Shadowsun and Aun’Va to Vespid, Piranhas, Sky Rays and revised Kroot organization. Example gunline and air-cavalry armies demonstrate different ways to combine these developments without losing the Tau emphasis on supporting fire.
