Why would they care about a Faction that isn't selling?

Ah, they beat me to it. What sells units? Good rules. What are two of the weaker teams? Necrons and Tau. Who aren't being played as much? Necrons and Tau!

Who was being played like crazy in 7th? Tau and Eldar. Two xenos Not!Space Marine armies. Because they were good and for some people, that's very important.

In a way though it is very nice. I've been able to pick up a lot of Tau stuff for very cheap since the old players are selling it off. They'll come out with a Tau codex eventually. I want to play them, but I'm patient and have other armies.
