Please tell me that's not a Dark Eldar. I'd love a regular Eldar to be that pimp.

Also the color scheme would be blue body, bright yellow helmet

Because if you're any race except a pure breed tau (who are subject to the ethereals pheromone control anyway) you are always at risk of sterilization, abduction and experimentation, and have no say in anything.

>>46517905
Because

GREEM DARKNESS

lmao

it's a pretty good meta reason though

>>46517973
Source? On any of it?
>Phermones -> Debunked by Mont'Ka. Speculation from a dipshit magos in old, defunct fluff.
>Sterilization -> Speculation by pro-imperial narrator in a non-canon ending of a non-canon video game
>Abductions? Like random abductions or mass abductions? I don't know about random, but they do move entire populaces to worlds they control
>Non-tau experimentation? Yeah, maybe.

They do keep unruly/potentially unruly citizens in slave labor camps.

>>46514097
Actually yes iam interested. Please do come on and make yourselves at home.

Farsight.
Join-or-die gunboat diplomacy (still better that the Imperium, but not nice by any means).
Human psykers breeding camps.
Fascist (expected full dedication to the greater good, no personal liberties)
Covert infighting (castes assassinating each other for the greater good; cf. Last Chancers)
Inspired by chicom and other ideologies aren't nice by any means.

Basically: Everyone int the Tau Empire is equal, but some are more equal than others.

>Human psykers breeding camps.

I haven't seen fluff on this before. Where is this featured. Sounds like a good way to get their shit fucked up.

>>46518842
Some old White Dwarf, IIRC. They tried to create navigators to be able to do longer warp-jumps and expand the Empire.

Since they have no psykers, they experiment on the human population, because Science! Science for the Greater Good!

And yes, they don't have wards, so it often backfires.

>>46518790
>Farsight
Left because he learned about Chaos. I'm pretty sure they specified that he's not open about Chaos either.
>Join-or-die
That's expansionist, not orwellian.
>Fascist->No personal liberties
That's a bit of a stretch. Sure, they decide for you whether you're a soldier, a pilot, a builder/scientist, or a diplomat, and in that way they make sure you serve the Greater Good, but "no personal liberties"? Not-being-allowed-to-choose-method-of-contribution is not the same as all-liberties-removed. They may have a huge assortment of off-duty diversions to chose from. The rampant farsight-support from within the empire itself demonstrates that there's possibly too much personal freedom.
>Covert infighting
You sure about that? That maybe sounds like something you imagined.

>That maybe sounds like something you imagined.
Dude, I provided the reference in the last post. Last Chancers novel "Kill Team"

Long story short, a Shas'O is conquering Imperial outposts for the Greater Good and is on a winning streak, the Water caste considers this to be a bad choice in the long term compared to diplomacy, but they can't denounce him openly since it would crackle the picture of the unity of the Tau Empire, so they ask the Imperium to provide a team of assassins to kill the Shas'O, and only give them intel, for plausible deniability.

That wouldn't have worked even if he were human.
