I like the idea of humans in the Tau force, but to me, it really doesn't fit my play style, as a Mech player. Plus I've never been one for conversions ;)

They can be costly. Lucky for me I am an IG player too!

well, I figure with clever use of the guard box set and sprues, I'll be able to make 24 guys, but again, the rules never really appealed to me, even though I did design some new rules fro them, which I should post here...
Cheers!

:lol: As long as you aren't using the rules in tournaments, I'm fine with 'em!

Well I personally am all for the expansion of the Empire. It is the man Tau idea to make peace if possible and if not then war, so assimilating troops is better than killing them. if the have assets to offer, I'll gladly take them. Although I plan to use a mostly (if not purely) Tau army, that doesn't mean I don't like the expansion in to other races. It is simply for tactical purposes.
I go in the name of the Greater Good.

Take it easy.

(Gue'vesa)

We have a new Gue'vesa section, so this obviously belongs down there.

Cheers!

Might make for an interesting list; one Fire Caste Commander and one Ethereal for HQ, one unit of Fire Warriors, one unit of Kroot, one unit of Gue'Vessa, and a unit of Vespid.

2 Fire warrior
1 Gue'vesa
1 Kroot
1 Vespid

Thankfully i,ve listen to no one who told me to ditch the Gue'vesa...I just love the idea too much to lose them.

I like the idea of the Tau Empire as many races united under the Greater Good. It adds flavor and maybe a little better close combat fighting? :huh:


I would agree, the great tau empire is a galaxy where humans, kroot, vesp and so on fight under the command of tau for the greater good.

I've used Human Auxileries alot and they work well agains imperial guard, eldar and dark eldar.

And you forgot the Demiurg (if you play Battlefleet Gothic)

But yes the Greater Good is one of the coolest idea in WH40K, were everyone else is looking only about themselves the Tau is about harmony and cooperation.

As for my Gue'vesa...I,m really looking ofrward for my second army...a Gue'vesa armoured Imperial Guard city army...excellent for 2 army games :D

That is how my army is currently. I wish I had some vespids, though...

Where as i'm going the other direction...I got 1 squad of Kroot, one of Gue'vesa (plus backup in case they are refused) and one of vespid...higher points army will see more Krrots and vespid before anything else....it's my fluff I need to do so.

Also I got my IG Gue'vesa army on standby. :D
