Codex - Tau Auxiliary 8th edition

This is a placeholder for the 8th edition version of Codex - Tau Auxiliary.

This is a WORK IN PROGRESS.

We are currently working on the basics to make the transition from 7th to 8th as smooth as possible for everybody. This fandex is not ready for playtesting ... yet. Units (or Races) marked with WIP Are not recommended for use. Units marked with WIP are not tested at al and will break the game's balance harder then GW smelling money!
If you want to help edit see the top part of the talk page.

Playing Tau Auxiliary

All units here will have the T'au faction keyword but most will not have a <sept> keyword this makes it so that you can easily combine these units in any army but will have an incentive to not go batshit crazy on combos and unit combinations.

Gue'Vesa WIP

Special rules Gue'Vesa WIP

Traitors: Although the humans who have joined the Tau empire bear no ill-will towards their former compatriots, the same can not be said of Imperial troops fighting the auxiliaries. Imperium Models will have a +1 to hit on Gue'vesa in combat

Wargear and points Gue'Vesa WIP

Name	Range	Type	S	AP	Damage	Abilities	Points
Mont'Ka Pattern Lasgun	24"	Assault 2	3	0	1	-

Mont'Ka Pattern Lasgun One of the many hidden concerns of the Ethereal caste when the Gue'vesa deserters were folded into the Tau Empire's Warforce was that they held no certain guarantee that they would not turn traitor on the Fire Caste during any battles in which they were deployed. Eventually it was decided, in order to counter this potentially diasterous scenario, that every Gue'Vesa weapon would be outfitted with a Kill-Switch that would cause the equipment to malfunction explosively without appearing to be intentional sabotage. In order to make sure this plan was possible every single Gue'Vesa soldier was given a Mont'Ka Pattern Lasgun, modelled after the Triplex Pattern Lasgun, to replace their old imperial models, under the guise of an upgraded arsenal to help them fight alongside the Fire Caste. Most Gue'Vesa soldiers can go their entire careers without realising they are holding a bomb designed to kill them should they ever choose to betray their new culture, but, as the Ethereal Council decided "Such is the cost of treachery".
