I don't know how anyone can not see the shades of dark in the Tau. They're a full on propaganda machine that uses gunboat diplomacy and their whole angle offers a perspective that hammers home the utter horror of the universe better than any other faction.

The horror comes from the fact that these fascists are the best bet in the setting

Nah they are just Platonic ideal govermemt of warriors and philosophers.
At worst they are the Dominion, but fuck humans and Bajorans.

in that case you don't even have any sort of specialists because the tau were clearly so retarded a Gretchin could kill them

It rarely seems stark enough. The Tau live in a totalitarian police state but just happen to mostly be cool with it. The Farsight schism is the best thing to happen to their lore in a while.

Retarded enough to trust the Dark Eldar.

I'm sure next year the Tau will get an anti melee Riptide. With a 3+ rerollable melee invulnerable and gives a regulat 3++ in melee for any other Tau in 18". Multiple strength D stomps and a tractor beam that can move any unit it target 12" to get them closer or further away as they please.

Then the rest of the Tau will be able to leave melee in their own movement phase and shoot at close range. Might need to use a markerlight, for balance.

It's the only logical thing to do.

Let's reward the players when they treat all their units as static turrets.

We're also giving players massive bonuses when they do nothing but throw dice at things, they won't even have to worry about target priority or tactics.

How could I do what GW failed to do with having varied, if fluff only, auxiliaries? Just use kitbashed models to serve as proxied allied guardsmen?

They're all red pills. Or blue pulled. I can never remember which one is which

>>44379820
Redpills are the ones who knew the Matrix wasn't real and that they were being controlled by machines/hunted by agents. Bluepills just went back to their normal lives.
>>44379790
Using allies is your best bet. Necrons and Eldar especially. Just kitbash as many weird mini parts together to create new aliens that function as the allies units they count-as would. Strap some Tau weapons and armor to WHFB lizardmen and get yourself some Tarellian dog-soldiers, etc.

This is where my sides left me to join the Great Crusade. Jesus, that made me laugh and realize just how much of a shit-stain GW is.
