Welcome to Gaia! ::

The XV-22 commander suit with missile pods, plasma rifle and flamer.

XV-8 Crisis suits.

XV-8 Crisis suit landing after making a jump.

The new Imperial Guard heavy weapons team.

The new customisable commander feature.


Now then, before people start to b***h about "overpowered this and that", GTFO. Play it before you open that goddamn hole of yours to whine about it. Most Tau infantry have to remain stationary in order to fire their weapons, which are single shot mostly. Pulse carbines and rifles are single shot. You can only have THREE XV-8 Crisis Suits. Tau have a faster recharge on their jetpacks then other races with jump capabilities, which is logical as the Tau greatly benefit from jumping in and out of hotspots.

Listen chap, if there is one thing I hate with on-line communities it's people that rant and b***h about stuff they know next to nothing about. My advice, play it before yon even think about shouting piss and s**t. 9/10 times they shout crap that useless or has no merit.

sad that wasnt very nice.

Before people with less thought start crapping it out in poorly typed and non-cohesive lines, here's what I've gathered from the demo:

- All new race units are confirmed (Eldar will get Harlequins and the Imperial Guard will get heavy weapon teams - shot shows an autocannon and a crew of two in a small sandbag emplacement)
- NO Necrons in the demo, at least not playable as far as I could gather
- Several high tier Tau units are not included in the demo, which wont be revealed until the full game is bought
- Voice acting is good and not in a stereotypical asian undertone as was done with Fire Warrior, only thing missing are the Kroot sound bits.

Tau units!
- Tau drone functions as construction unit, sounds like a Cylon from Battlestar Galatica whee
- Tau Commander with a shitload of great weapon upgrades (starts with burst cannon, which can be turned into flamer, then plasma rifle and the extra option of adding both missile pods and a fusion blaster)
- Tau stealth team with burst cannons, entire squad can have fusion blasters
- Vespid Stingwing Brood, not available in demo
- Tau Fire Warriors, small squad of six, one commander and several gun drones
- Tau pathfinders with carbines and a markerlight ability
- Tau Broadsides, not available in demo
- Tau Battle suits with bad a** animations for walking and jumping with the jetpacks (can we say "we land heavily!") Has a burst cannon and fusion blaster, which can be upgraded into a flamer or missile pod
- Kroot Carnivore squad, which can eat the dead in order to boost their health
- Kroot hounds pack
- Krootox, not available in demo
- Kroot Shaper, not available in demo
- Great Knarloc, not available in demo
- Gun Drone squadron, not available in demo
- Devilfish transport, not available in demo
- Skyray missile support
- Hammerhead tank, not available in demo
- A special drone that can attack with smaller drones, not available in demo
- Ethereal, not available in demo, who has special abilities that benefit the whole army

- A preview shot showed a pre-campaign Blood Ravens captain with just red armour, a chain sword and a bolter next to the shot of the same captain after the campaign, with golden decorations all round, a thunder hammer, Iron halo and a meltagun.

There's probably more, but this is all I have for now, enjoy.

yes i see that, but I was asking for you to be more clear. A simple "boosting of health" can have multiple meanings, for instance regaining health, increasing maximum health, Temporarily give them a health bonus and so on.
