Why are Tau the best?

The nose knows.

They accepted the fact of

and don't attempt to be melee race.

Tau don't have ears.

>>52601514
No, they don't NEED to fight in melee, because the time it takes for you an imperial guardsman to fix his bayonet and begin to charge you realise that you've had a pulse hole in you sternum for the past week from a Tau sniper on the next continent.

>>52601546
I'll check back when they got chainkatanas or something.

Nah, honestly though, Tau are awesome, I just couldn't resist memeing. The weird overfixation the setting has on melee is kind of weird anyway.

Why don't they have at least Battlesuit mounted power-spears or something? For going against other large foes that can't be eviscerated within a few seconds.

>>52601446
Because they haven't been around long enough to learn that AIs invariably become possessed by spirits from beyond that seek to devour their flesh and souls.

Because sometimes you really need to hit the enemy on the table across the room.

But anon, Imperial Guard already have Basilisks.

>>52601446
They WERE the best, but the Kayoun books released by forgeworld is a good example of HOW TO DO IT WRONG

>>52602013
Basilisks don't have jump jets.

Because where else can I play a cloaked mech with reverse joint legs supported by a squad of cloaked dudes in power armor?

>>52602052
We don't need jump jets where we're going.

Which is, to say, the trenches. Now grab your rifle and get on the line before I -BLAM- you for insubordination.
