What the Frack? New Tau allies...

@Sithanius: I heard on a 40K board that the weapons are not only S2 AP2 but also - flame template weapons. Given that they\'re also supposed to be jump-packers and fleet of foot, they\'re in range for the guns in what, round 2, tops?
And 10 flame templates are one hell of a lot of wounding dice... I remember vividly a dominion squad of Sisters flaming 8 of 10 marines in one shot...

I\'ve just looked at them closely again, and i\'ve noticed the one main thing that bugs me, they aren\'t very dyanamic, or realistic (yeah ok they\'re crab monsters with guns from outer space but thats irrelivent, you get my point), the one pictured at the front is made to look as though hes firing, but hes looking straight at us,
is he in battle or striking a pose? ???
he could be shooting all sorts of things he didnt even know were there.

I think if he (it/she whatever) was looking in the direction of the gun this would at-least help the whole aesthetic look for me.

one last thing, how do they fly with wings that small

Whats really annoying is that there are heaps of things they could do. Those aliens from the Gaunts ghosts books, skaven in space, human allies, lizards, insects, and what do they come up with? As someone already said, something that looks suspiciously like the old tyrannids...
