The T'au (yes that's how it's spelled now!) are a burgeoning empire on the fringes of space, but as their ambitions grow, so does conflict with the Imperium of Man - a very different empire. The T'au, you see, are built on the idea of spreading their new unified order and a better existence for all - very different from the superstition and xenophobia of the Imperium of Man. As the T'au bring more worlds into their fold, be aware, that although diplomacy is always their first choice, if resistance is encountered, negotiations are swiftly and aggressively replaced with a purely military solution.
The T'au Codex has been long awaited, with a veritable revolution brewing in the online T'au community who have been existing on the supplementary rules in Index Xenos 2 (which gives stats for units, but no stratagems or new ways to play in 8th Edition) putting an already fragile army at a disadvantage. But now the full rules are here!! The Tau Codex comes in two flavours; the Diplomacy Is The Key Collectors Edition and the Mecha Fist Punch standard edition. There are also the Data Cards... and apart from that there's nothing new! Yes there is a T'au Sphere Expansion bundle, but no repackaged minis or new models.
The T'au are a great model range, and with rumours of unit cost drops, it will be interesting to see what the community think of this new approach. Hopefully it will see some nice fluffy armies and less of the power gaming and strange combinations players have been forced to make do with to face 8th edition forces who already have Codex, or face defeat. Hopefully the Dark Eldar get their turn soon, because that is a very fragile army that needs skill to field effectively.
