White Dwarf 318 (warning; spoilers)

[SquishyB]

yer i dont like how they sumarize turn 1 adn 2 together in like one collum... i like how it use to be with a whole section for turn one for each person...and accompanied by battlemaps showing all there movement and actions. Oh well...supose you can't have your cake and eat it.

I got 318 as well today and it is a good issue, something for everyone. I am excited about the fantasy again thanks to the updated O&G figures. If they can deliver a starter for $45 like 40K I will be ecstatic come September.

Well, since this is about White Dwarf 318, I guess this question would go better in here than anywhere else (the Tau forum seems just as good of a place too)...Anyways:

On the cover of WD318, there's a Tau army dressed in white (the main one on the cover's getting stabbed by a Vostroyan). Anyways, does anyone have any possible idea what Sept this Tau army is?

Obviously, the sept's color is Red (Blood Red, maybe), with the armor being a pure white (Skull White?) and the cloth the same color as the sept's color (again, red). I'm looking through the codex, and it doesn't list any septs resembling this. The closest ones I can see would be the Bork'an sept (though they have a turquoise sept color and SWgrey armor), and the Vior'la sept (who DO have a red sept color, but unfortunately have rotting flesh-colored armor).

I would like to think it's the Vior'la sept on the cover, seeing how they have a red sept color, but in the codex, the Vior'la sept has rotting flesh for armor, and Catachan Green for their cloth (which goes against the Tau on the WD318 cover, who seem to have Skull white armor, and Red cloth that matches their sept color).

Any help on determining this sept on the cover is greatly appreciated.

Just to let you know, the nerf football is an American Football, not a football in the UK. (A soccer ball to US.) And the 318 one is great. Good conversions, nice finish.
