I decided a couple days ago that the best course of action to helping me figure out what will be the newest edition to my Tau army was to post on my Forums that I belong to.  I posted a poll on the Astro site and a lot of people are saying go for the Fire Warriors because I just simply don't have enough but others are saying go for the Kroot.  Then on the My Battalion site they are basically telling me the same thing that I don't have enough Fire Warriors.  I know some of these players are younglings but others are hardened veterans like me that have been playing awhile some longer than me too. 

So, the conclusion I have reached is to get one or two boxes of Fire Warriors the next time I have money.  I don't like painting the Kroot so I won't buy anymore, however, I may need a bigger case for my guys soon.  Till next time.

Ok I found out through one of my forum sites that GW is releasing yet another new game to their already large arsenal.  For those of you that remember Space Hulk will be returning into the gamers homes.  At least that is what GW is hoping for anyway.  Now this game is set on a board made up of various corridor and room tiles which can be freely arranged and locked together like a jigsaw puzzle to represent the interior of derelict space ships. One player controls the Space Marines, and the other controls the Genestealers.

The game is notable for its hidden play mechanics, from which it derives much of its playability and tension. The actual number of genestealers in play is hidden from the Marines because they came into play as "blips" which can represent 1-3 creatures (or 0-6 in the Deathwing expansion and second edition). On the other hand, the Marine player has a number of "action points" available each turn which are only revealed to the genestealer player after they are used up. (In the second edition, the extra points are no longer hidden from the genestealer player.)

I was never really a fan of this game and like a lot of their other spin off games I guarantee only a handful of gamers are going to buy this game.  No I will stick to Necromunda, Mordheim, 40K and Fantasy thank you because this is just another expense that I don't really have.  Especially since I am trying to bulk up and repaint my Tau.  Not to mention my friends, brothers and I are going to start to construct a table of our own as well.  I mean how much money do they think the average gamer really has to spend on thier products?  I can't help but wonder if sales have been going down for them too?  Oh well, until next time.

Well, I have decided to repaint my Tau into another color scheme.  The color scheme I chose is the White and Black from Commander Shadowsun.  Now the Vespids and the Kroot will remain the same but everything else will get changed into this color scheme.  Mostly because I decided I didn't like the camo colors anymore because I have enough IG to paint with thier camo colors without worrying about the Tau too.  I might repaint other minis in my arsenal too but I will be focusing on repainting the Tau and most likely purchasing more of them as well over the next couple of months or so. 

Until next time...
