Anyone here been keeping up with the new Tau stuff? Models aside

The Tau were made specifically to get Gundam model kit fags/weebs to get into 40k

>>13567627

It didn't work, the Tau model line is pretty hideous.

Aren't the Tau also technically the most benevolent in the 40K universe? In as much as 40K is ever benevolent.

Nice blood splatter PS brush they downloaded from deviantArt, there.

I wouldn't say that. Tau may seem good at first but really they are just space communists and they tend to sterilize races in there empire this is all planned by the ethereals of course
Farsight and his enclave are the only good tau.

>>13567627
As a Gundam/mecha fag, I don't particularly care for the Tau designs.

There is a reason you shitters were exiled to /tg/

Orks are clearly the most /m/ race.

>designs valued on how cool they look
>red machines are faster

>>13568683
Probably, the Imperium will just genocide xenos, Eldar are just arrogant dicks who let worlds get destroyed/eaten and would rather be bumfucked to oblivion than give a straight answer to a straight question. So Tau's mass sterilization and brain washing probably puts them at the top it's very much a technicality.

>>13570376
They are closest thing in 40k universe that can fulfill the will of getter
>>13567611
I actually liked Tau for pseudo-japanese /m/ asthetics when my very introduction to 40k universe was dark crusade.

Their full armor at that time made me assume they are some sort of robotic race (ala the geth).
Later digging around the fluff disappointed me a bit.

I really want to fight for the emprah in a pre-Horus heresy time.For some reason I feel there is no reason left in this world to fight for.

If I remember right don't the Tau battlesuits totally lack in melee capability? Or have they changed that?

>>13570983

The entire joke is Tau are extremely shit at melee but make up for there immense long range fire power but even if a lowly guardsman gets a bayonet out there fucked.

>>13572826
The Imperial Guard are so happy at this.

>>13567627
I don't know, I always preferred the Imperium's mech over the Tau. I like Tau infantry better than Imperium infantry though

>>13572963
I like them, but Tau's infantry looks really good. I find the Imperium's infantry one of the best looking grunts but their armor doesn't look as cool as the average Tau.

Who needs melee when you can burn everything down before it gets close?

>>13573150

Tau think melee brings out a little to much rage and that pleaeses Khorne they don't even train fire warriors in melee combat

>>13573470
Tau even know about the Warp and Chaos?

They have no psykers, don't fully enter the warp when traveling FTL, and are supposedly uncorruptable by Chaos.

>>13573470
Yeah, Tau don't believe in daemons or daemonic corruption. They're just naturally terrible at close combat, so they let their auxiliaries do that.

>>13573150
Because they really like getting close.

>>13573473
As of the most recent fluff, they're aware that the Warp, Chaos and psykers all exist. They just want nothing to do with it all, and their biology doesn't force them to face the issue.

I'm a big fan of the new Skitarii and AdMech stuff they have made in the past year. The Skitarii are cool looking cyborg Roman legionnaires, and then stuff like the Kastelan Robot are so goofy old school looking that I can't help but love them.

I'm not particularly fond of the Tau designs, but the way the models themselves are molded makes them particularly fun to paint.

The Kastellan's are shit, but I've slowly found myself warming to them.

Check out Commander Shadowsun.
The only distinct trait of female tau is the Y-shaped face vagina though

>>13576899
One of their special characters is a girl, but I don't think there's any official artwork of her out of her battlesuit.

If that one assault marine actually manages to get past that overwatch those Tau are stuck in there for a looooong time IF they manage to survive that marine.

In any case, this new Tau stuff does look nice.

>>13570376
Ork mechs are the best because you just know the controls for them are like a single lever and a rope.
