Show Notes

A brief history of Tau….

Tau Armies

In general, Tau shoot the best of any army. They have no psychics and very little melee, although they have some options.  Average movement, but all their suits have jet pack moves, or jump shoot jump. Leadership is only average.

Tau natively have low ballistic skill, but they have the all-important marker lights.

Aesthetics and model range

“Anime” inspired; have a futuristic mecha look.  Vehicles are slightly curved but blocky; kind of a cross between Eldar and Imperium.

Almost all new model kits, with only a few finecast models.
