Yep, more White Dwarf snaps of the new Tau stuff. Dribble, drool, or, like me, roll your eyes at the clunkiness of Farsight and go back to your Space Marines.
They just seem so shoehorned in to the 40K universe in order to appeal to the big mech manga crowd. Regardless of a pretty decent back story, they just seem too contrived.
I like the look of the Riptide, I just wish they’d redesign the suits so that they look like you could actually fit a normal sized bipedal humanoid in them. Every time I see those XV15 and XV88 models it makes me think of a fully grown man sat in a washing machine scale wise.
I really want to like the Tau, I really do.
But.

I’m with you there.
a normal tau fire warrior is only 5′ tall, but i also have a problem with that sizing issue
Yeah but then again The Space Marines arent true scale either.
