The '''Tau''' are a playable race in ''[[Warhammer 40k]]''. When first discovered by humanity, the Tau were a barbaric and primitive people. Then their planet was trapped in a warp storm for a few thousand years and they emerged from the other side as a unified species, led by the [[Druids|mysterious]] Ethereal caste and devoted to the concept of the "Greater Good". The Tau were originally developed because [[Games Workshop]] felt their setting needed an optimistic race, making the Tau the least [[grimdark]] faction in the game. Some [[fluff]] has them sterilizing races that resist the rule of the Tau Empire, and their Codex leaves ambiguous how much of their success is due to various forms of mind control, within and outside the Tau themselves. It says something about ''40k'' that despite this they're still the friendliest race in the setting.

They are a technologically advanced race, and have some of the most powerful ranged weaponry in the game. Tau units in general are rather weak in close combat, so they rely on alien auxiliaries such as the Kroot and Vespids who have joined the Tau Empire to bolster their strengths in this area. Fire Warrior veterans and commanders go to war wearing advanced battlesuits, allowing them to field even more firepower.

Tau unit designs were somewhat inspired by Asian culture and Japanese mecha. As a result, /tg/ declares the Tau are [[weeaboo]]. Their devotion to the philosophy of the Greater Good often leads to them being labeled as communists, too. On another note, IMMA DANCE FOR THE MOTHERLAND!
