It’s been a great weekend for 40k. Not only do we have the pre-order of the 9th edition Space Marines and Necrons codex books, but we’re also spoiled with variety of articles and videos discussing the new content and what it means for 9th edition.

Should the T’au Have a Strong Assault Unit?
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been exploring the problems that the T’au Empire has in 9th edition. There’s a lot to go into, which means that by necessity my articles can’t cover everything that I’d like to discuss on the topic.
Diagnosing the T’au’s Problems in 9th
In this week’s article I’m going to riff on an excellent Goonhammer article on the subject of a tier list in the current 9th edition meta. As usual with Goonhammer, the article itself is great, so I’d certainly recommend giving it a read if you haven’t already.
The Kroot in 9th Edition 40k
Last week, I discussed one of the two T’au auxiliary units, the Vespid Stingwings. I argued that, while this unit isn’t great, it does have some use in 9th edition. The same cannot be said for the topic of this week’s article, the Kroot Carnivores.

More Talk on Transports in 9th
Last week, I discussed the importance, or lack thereof, of the transport in 9th edition. One individual in the comments mentioned that both the Rhino and the Wave Serpent deserve a mention when talking about transports, and I completely agree.
The Transport in 9th Edition
Are we playing in the era of the transport?
The Ghostkeel in 9th
Last week I discussed a couple of options for T’au players who want to avoid Commanders now that the Fly keyword isn’t nearly as strong as it was in 8th. As always, check the Tactics Corner for more great articles!
