As cool as those figures are (and mantic games in general) I don't like them. It seems like they have so much upper body armor, and yet they wear like, normal pants.
It just seems so top-heavy.
Like regular guard then?
But I do agree. I have yet to see someone pull off the heavily armored look on a standard 28mm mini.

I feel like the guard are still top-heavy, but less than those ones. The guard armor looks like it's at least trying to be more lightweight.

I don't like how regular guard armor covers the chest area perfectly well, but leaves the protection of all the internal organs up to a bit of cloth.

I was reading the articles at games workshop, and it looks like the 6th edition is going to have a lot of changes.
I'm eager to see what's on it!

It would be easier to just buy them online. Heck, you can probably find an entire Tau army for sale online for pretty cheap. Try BarterTown, for instance.

Overwatch gives my guardsmen a better chance at not being ♥♥♥♥ in the ass in close combat. Which is nice.
I haven't read through much of the fluff, but I know psyker sales are going to go crazy because of the new powers.

When being charged in an assault, most units get Overwatch, which allows them to fire snapshots, which means they get to fire but as BS1.
There seems to be a lot of rules upon rules in 6th edition.

But all of them kind of make sense. Well, as much sense as 40k goes anyway.
