I apparently had a mental break down and posted to ATT.
While everyone on the forum is screaming "HOW DARE THEY GIVE US A CC UNIT!" because they like to lose and enjoy when toddlers beat them for their lunch money, it's about time Tau became less of a glass cannon.
The rumors make a lot of sense.
Adding another troop with CC shores up the Tau's main weakness.
While people can shout about Space Dwarves all they want, if it makes the army better and gives the Tau a unit better in CC than Kroot Hounds it's about time.
Feel free to scream "It doesn't fit the Tau!" but no one likes losing and it allows a weakness to be patched without changing the core of the Tau identity.
As for the Crisis Suits as troops; it makes sense from an army construction standpoint and from sales.
If the rumors of new models are indeed true, GW needs to sell them. With the amount of old Crisis Suits readily available most devoted Tau players already have their 12+ to field in an army.
Making them troop choices like the SM: Deathwing Termies means the player maybe able to field circa 30 of them and therefore *have to* buy 18 more. And thus sales.
These rumors are plausible. I would mention how it'd be nice to get some Kroot Psykers, but that would be wishlisting and I'd get scolded by the mighty Tau Overlords of ATT.
