Editing Warhammer 40,000/5th Edition Tactics/Tau (section)

==Why Play Tau==

When you start a Tau army, you know others are going to hate you, be it because you are shooting when you should be punchan gaems, thrashing their best guys with weeaboo battlesuits, or abusing the ever-loving shit out of cheap-and-effective long-range missile strikes and widely-available infiltration and cover-save-raping. You may win battles, but that is not your goal as a Tau player: you play Tau to drink your enemies' tears. 

Veteran Tau Commanders recommend a side of tea to go with it.

Remember, you cannot spell "Taunt" without "Tau".

On a more serious note, while the Tau are easily one of the lower tier armies around, they have an aesthetic that appeals to many kinds of players and have a very fast and mobile playstyle that brings in tremendous amounts of firepower. Contrast them with the other two shooting focused armies, the Necrons and the Imperial Guard and you'll see that they are a rapier to the IG's sledgehammer and the Necron's battleaxe.
