I’m a Tau, look at me, I love diplomacy, here I go, being empathetic toward other life.

*RETCON*

We are all mind controlled by evil leaders.

The worst tau retcon is they no longer invented their own weapons so they are a faction without any non mechanical identity

They walked that back. But it’s still canon that they fought against mind control worms but made peace and now some Ethereals are frequently seen with mind control worm advisors

What? Tau lore never shuts up about the latest innovation from Earth Caste scientists.

Apparently the latest thing is the League of Votann (new space dwarves) provided them their tech

The Tau were funniest when they were a parody of NATO and now they're an outlet for people who wanna get hoof jobs.

Honestly if the Tau started getting units with a PDO Name and then a generalized name if you used a different sprue attachment and tournament Judges will hold you and your opponent responsible for using the names correctly I'll forgive GW for loving up this faction.

Like, all tech? I haven't seen anything about that, do you mean the old bit they may have remembered where the Demiurg (now Votann) sold them ion cannon technology, which was a sneaky Homeworld reference?

I thought it was something more recent, but I dont get my lore fresh from the source so it could be wrong.

Space elves and dark elves are the most boring faction. They're fundamentally static - the Space Elves are like "oh no we blew up the universe will all our loving, now we're sad" and the space dark elves are hot topic drow. Rogue Traders do pirates better than Corsairs

Exodites are vaguely interesting but AFAIK there is zero fiction about them, and Gee-Dub is too cowardly to release elves riding dinosaurs in space

New elf and dark elf lore is making a god of death to kill Slaneesh and experience the ultimate thrill, dying with your bank account at 0 so your heirs get nothing.

I remember knowing nothing about warhammer or warhammer 40k and then playing Dawn of War for the first time and being like "whoa this is a pretty badass game, it's got asymmetric sides like starcraft but it's 4 races instead of 3 this is amazing!" I was much happier then, I wish I could go back to only knowing Dawn of War

Not even with the expansion packs? I know the necrons were unbalanced as gently caress but come on, the imperial guard were fun.

Look if the 10 foot tall vaguely human shaped demigod that can crush a space marine like a space marine can crush a human says its preferred pronouns are she/her then Im not really gonna contest the issue.

There should be Krootstealer Kults, kroots fed a diet of humans until they can pass and try to convince human worlds to join the Tau.

They should also fight against genestealer cults, who also fight them

The Tau are great when they're absolutely befuddled NATO commanders shooting dark eldar from extreme long range and wondering why all the kroot who eat dead humans start chanting incomprehensible poo poo like "The Greater Good Protects"

They are less fun when they get turned into "The Imperium but blue" and Im not yet sold on "big titty blue hoof jobs"

The Tau are engaging in a limited, peace-keeping operation in order to secure the well being of various peoples in conflict zones alongside their borders at the behest of persecuted ethnic groups within those territories.

"Hello I am the Emperor, if there's one thing I hate more than anything else in this entire galaxy it's women, but second place is religion. Welp anyway time to hand-craft my sons, I think I'll take one of them and make it so every fiber of his being is constantly crying out for something to worship"
