According one of my sources we're likely to see the Tau Codex some time in
September, followed by lots of releases for this newly revealed race in
October. These releases include a Tau Battleforce Boxed Set, Tau Fire
Warriors (again, boxed), a Kroot Carnivore Squad (you guessed it, boxed) the
Tau Devilfish Grav APC (guess that means we've finally got a name for their
tank) and Tau Blisters.

... Yes, the Tau are all actually French! OK, not really, I just needed a
title that fitted. One source recently sent in a translation of a
translation (neat huh?) of some Tau from the French White Dwarf. There's a
little bit of interesting new info about the Tau, particularly their
Castles. Dig:

These are the words of Aun o t'au Molan Cree Cais, highest Ethereal and
revered elder.

Stranger, I bid you greeting in the name of the Tau.

If you are reading this you will have encountered one of our messenger
drones and are therefore a spacefaring race. Soon you will see more evidence
of us. This is no cause of alarm.

When you encounter our ships or outposts then welcome it for we have much to
offer a faithful friend.

We are five castes. One people. The Earth Caste build and manufacture. The
Air Caste pilot and navigate. The Water Caste liase and arbitrate. The Fire
Caste guard our holdings ans defeat our enemies. All are bound to the dream
of bringing a new way to the universe. I hope you will choose to share the
culture, technology and protection of the Tau Empire.

The one constant in the universe is change, the wise adapt.

Believe in our destiny.
