The Tau document has been started and is going pretty OK so far, with most of the named characters done for now. Considering how to do the drones since the older fire caste units (fire warriors, stealth suits, and XV8 battlesuits) can take 'generic' drones (gun, shield, and marker) in their squads and newer/redone units (breachers, pathfinders, XV88, all other battlesuits) have their own unique types of drones. So the new drones will go with their specific units, while the old ones will be put into a drone unit profile with a rule that certain units can add drones.
For the Imperial Guard, I've been putting a bit more thought into their vehicles. Individually they're fine, but how their platoons will work is a bit wonky since things like Leman Russ tanks can be rather potent in large numbers. Chimera platoons will be a bit tricky to work with, since they individually carry 10/12 models and would be required to transport up to 50 models at once.
So a Chimera Transport Platoon may look something like this:
1-5 Chimera
Can transport 10 models for every Chimera in the Platoon
Scion Assault Groups are another unit I've been considering, and would look somewhat like this:
5-20 Scions
0-1 Commissar
0-8 special weapons (2 per 5 models)
A Leman Russ Platoon will most likely stay as 1-3 tanks, and a Company Command Squad will be 5 Veterans with 0-1 Lord Commissar plus regimental advisors. Not sure whether to merge Scions and Veterans though, with carapace armour just being an extra option and hotshot lasguns/hellguns being standard issue - maybe roll them into an upgrade option too? Thinking of adding Stubbers too, because having an assault version of a heavy stubber seems cool and something fun - alternately this could be a boltgun instead?
