Demiurg will be returning with the TAU!
depending on printing problems it is possible they will be slated for November 2011 moving the Necrons back

Demiurg will be a troop choice and have t4 s5(with battle axe) 5+ 5+FNP(intoxicating save) and SAP but will be allowed to charge 6" instead of rolling
There is a squat HQ but no info yet.

Kroot are still in as well as the Firewarriors

Character unlocks crisis suits as troops and they have gotten much better.

Demiurg will be returning

Mosc: Extrapolating their background like you have was always going to be a risk if they ever decided to do their own thing with them.

Very true, but with the Dark Eldar we had time to 'influence' design, or at least carve out some popularity of the list before GW did anything different. Because of my lack of focus, we've delayed the project considerably and now the timelines for GW and our home grown efforts are intersecting. It is frustrating. $:-\$

I wonder is a separate Tau Auxiliaries armylist variant would be possible (or indeed warranted). Could get some of the bigger Kroot beasties in there, as well as the vespid......

I'll be in the same boat if they ever decide to redo the genestealer cults in any way

This could be very good for the Xenos Project, or very very bad.

Quote: Demiurg will be returning Woohoo! Squats have arrived! Quote: with the TAU! Booo. So much rumour and guesswork. If true, I can sort of see why they'd do that if this, but it's a little dull and turns the Tau into a kind of "catch-all" army. New race idea? No idea where to put it? No problem, lets just squeeze them in with the Tau! (Oh, and I dislike the Tau background and look and feel a somewhat) Who knows, this might tempt a few people back to 40k with promise of squats. Who knows, depending on how they look I might be tempted to buy a few 40k models for the first time in, well, years. Just hope they don't look like manga dwarfs...

Given that pretty much the only background we have on the Demiurg shows they have a relationship with the Tau, it's hardly that big a surprise. Mosc: Extrapolating their background like you have was always going to be a risk if they ever decided to do their own thing with them. I'm taking this with a massive plate of salt though.

Personally I'd take this rumour with a pretty big dose of salt, really, and keep on going with Xenos for the moment, at least until something more solid emerges.

Would be cool if it happened but this could easily be someone making it up.

On a purely fluff point, this does give the Tau a more late era Roman army feel, with their big use of foreign auxiliaries and mercenaries. Not really a bad thing, but I'm still a fan of tau only armies. I wonder is a separate Tau Auxiliaries armylist variant would be possible (or indeed warranted). Could get some of the bigger Kroot beasties in there, as well as the vespid......

Certainly possible, and indeed presumed when the auxillaries were cut out of the main list.

There was a Gue've'sa (?) human auxiliary list back around v3 of the Tau list. I couldn't find it on the boards last time I looked, but surely someone around here still has a copy.
