Something weird on the Tau reference sheet...?

Postby LordMalekTheRedKnight » Sun Mar 02, 2008 12:27 am

Hey all :)

just got the Tau codex as an early birthday present, and Kate noticed something weird while flicking through it:

p48, Tau Summary, Tau Weapons Profiles: "Kroot Rifle *4"

weve both checked that page thoroughly and cant find what *4 refers to (* is about Drone Ld and ** is about Shield Drones). we couldnt find anything about in the Kroot Carnivore Squad unit entry on p37 or the Kroot Rifle entry on p29.

so what are we missing? or is this just a weird typo? :?:

cheers :)

That seems to be a strange typo. They don't even use numbered asterisks.

A few things stand out about it really, 1) it has the templatey markers, 2) it doesn't have the asterisks all over the place that says rules for these weapons can be found in the big book etc (for melta etc) .3) this strange thing you've found which I can only assume is an abortive attempt to refer to its extra CCw giving ness... (that was later removed?) but thats just wild speculation.
Barely even lurking..

Isn't it obvious? You're missing the Warhammer 40,000 Fifth Edition Rulebook! :)
Specifically, the BNB (Big New Book) appendix xiii - Things we forgot in previous books and codexes
