NTRODUCTIDN
On the galaxy's Easten Fringe a new Empire is rising. Ambitious and united in purpose, the Tau seek to spread their
enlightened ways across the galaxy, believing that now is their ime to rule. Those who do not lngly bow down to the
Greater Good of the Tau Empire must be shown the error of their ways.
FOR THE GREATER GOOD
The Tau are an alien race seeking to carve its own realm into
the havoc-filled galaxy of the 41st Millennium. They mean
to bring a new way to a barbaric and unordered universe.
Many races have already joined their cause, and in time even
those that resist are shown the light. Their cause - known
to the Tau as the Greater Good - requires all individuals
to
set aside their own desires and cooperate for the benefit
of their growing Empire. They believe there is no foe their
technology cannot overcome and no quandary their science
cannot resolve. If needs be, even the stars will be moved for
the Greater Good.
THE TAU ARMY
A stylish and powerful army, none can match the
sophisticated weaponry and high tech gear of the Tau
Empire. To achieve victory, a Commander must use
his diverse elements in a combined fashion. A gunline
supported by anti-grav tanks, drones and alien auxiliaries
will hold the foe at bay so tl1at they'll never see the killing
blow coming. Battlesuits - mobile suits of armour bristling
with deadly weaponry, the apex of Tau technology - airdrop
from on high in support of the foot soldiers advancing
below. Through such harmony comes devastation.
HOW THIS CODEX WORKS
Codex: Tau Empire contains everything you need to play
a game ofWarhammer 40,000 with your army. Within
these pages you will find the origins of the Tau, their caste
system, their many battles of expansion and the rise of
their ever-growing Empire. You will also find the rules to
use the powerful heroes, units, vehicles and even advanced
prototype equipment at your disposal. There is also an
army list that enables you to organise your collection of
Citadel miniatures into a worthy army. Finally, you will find
a showcase of fantastically painted Tau Empire miniatures,
replete with examples of markings, camouflage patterns and
colour schemes employed by the many Tau septs.
WARHAMMER
40,000
If you are reading this codex, then you have already
taken your first steps into the Warhammer 40,000
hobby. The Warhammer
40,000
rule book contains all
the rules you need to ight battles with your Citadel
miniatures, and every army has its own codex that
acts as a definitive guide to collecting and unleashing
it upon the tabletop battlefields of the Warhammer
40,000 universe. This codex allows you to turn your
collection of Tau Empire models into a Hunter Cadre
ready to do battle for the Greater Good.
