Pffft, until that thing gets a 40K stamp, it can be as nasty as it wants. do they stamp them before they have a book? cause it doesn't even have one yet. It just says its a lord of war choice for tau codex the storm thingy, seems weird. It comes with a twin linked flamer. lol i guess if you are going to move it up for d shots, cause it can't overwatch. 4 missiles are a need add on tho.

I could easily see the Stormsurge getting powerfisted right in the ass by drop troops if not careful. DS termies might actually have a use again.

I would say that I'm glad I don't play tau, but a guy I know is giving me some suits and firewarriors... and I know big gribblies are going to come to every army because they're the new hotness.

More than a Knight seems a bit excessive. Welcome to the GW "We sell collector models not games at a huge profit point!" mentality.

There are rumors about the origin of the citadel pricing scheme, where lead models such as dragons were priced more because they weighed more. They had significantly more metal in them. When they shifted to plastic, they sold the models at the same price because of the goblin index. The models preformed the same as the metal counterparts, so they had to be priced the same, so they started measuring model price equal to how it preformed compared to one goblin. Take it with a grain of salt of course at least these huge kits look awesome

180 seems excessive. I was more expecting similar to bloodhirster, which was 140.

I guess it depends how solid this guy is, or it's that goblin unit coming out because this guy can shoot twice, can be run three in a slot... Yeah I don't like where gw pushed 40k, it doesn't grab me anymore. It's mind boggling, although I will like hearing about the lists tourney players come up with

Three in a slot would be more then half your 2000 point army.
That said that's a lot of str 5 shooting with some str 10. And maybe one with the d weapon. But I like the str 10 ordnance personally.
And that's before upgrades. We don't even know if you will still be able to take interceptor.
