They would be, but they would also be off to the side shooting down anything coming too close and waiting for the others to burn themselves out.IBlackKiteI said:
I know. I picked the common ones and those that came to mind first, but there are just so many armies and so few poll selections.WhiteandNeardy99 said:Cannot believe you didn't include Imperial Guard as a votable choice, so dissapointed.
Eh, blaming it on sleep-deprivation and a long day at work seems the way to go.Vidi Kitty said:
I'm only a recent convert to the Wolves, but I've been a follower of the Sisters of Battle for years now. They really, really need to work on another Codex for them and the Grey Knights. They're not quite as outdated as the Dark Eldar were, but they're still bloody old.Pirate Kitty said:My first army was Space Wolves! I was in love with them for years

It could be argued that whilst the Tau don't commit actual, physical genocide, their policies are akin to cultural genocide. It's join them and convert to their belief in the Greater Good, or die at the hands of their Fire Warriors.Jandau said:Tau! They are the underdog, just coming into the WH40k universe. They don't understand half the stuff that's going on around them, just figuring things out as they go along. But they have big guns, big battlesuits and one hell of a ideology. In fact, theirs is likely the most benevolent agenda in the universe at the moment, seeing as they are the only race that doesn't consider genocide to be an integral part of warfare. Also, did I mention the really big guns?

This fluff is proof that the Tau cannot compare to might of humanity. It took one engagement for the Hive Fleets to resist Pulse fire. Over 2 centuries of war with the Imperium and the nids are yet to find a way to resist .75 caliber aspirinVidi Kitty said:
And he's quite right.Vidi Kitty said:
Sounds like a Hive Tyrant that is set up to pummel anything in melee. First game, missed the "monstrous creature" special rule, and was borderline depressed about a tyrant entering melee with a dreadnought. Second game, one-shot a vindicator tank with a single zoantrope, and learned exactly how lethal genestealers are.Steppin Razor said:
I shudder when I think about how much I have put into my little army. And there is only so much you can do against a supersonic rain of metal bits coming from everywhere. Though a 2+ save and regeneration sure do help a lot.Megalodon said:Sweet Zombie Jesus, and i thought I was bad with my Forge World Problem...Pirate Kitty said:
Started with Eldar years ago (fuck starting with Marines, in at the deep end!). Then moved to Wolves, and have happily stayed there since. Building an full strength Great Company, long project.

While it can be argued that way, that still leaves them as a whole lot better option than anyone else in that universe. They aren't spotless, but they are damn well friendlier than any of the other races, Imperium of Man included.Steppin Razor said:It could be argued that whilst the Tau don't commit actual, physical genocide, their policies are akin to cultural genocide.

Thats a pretty awesome way of putting it, I bet if 40k were 50k than by this point everything other than Tau is dead, and Tau would go in and inherit everything they left behind.Vidi Kitty said:
There is a ton of fluff on each of the races and most of it is downright awesome. Like the single zoanthrope that brought down an ENTIRE eldar craft world?IBlackKiteI said:
From the poll thread. When were the first tyranids made official by Games Workshop?Vidi Kitty said:Isn't 40k older than starcraft by a decade or 2?De Ronneman said:Tyranid, what else? At least it's trying to be the Zerg
Sort of, but he was far deadlier than a monstrous creature. Abaddon was immune to Instant Death, with a 4+ Ward save, and he made one special attack each round with his sword. If it hit, the model was instantly wounded with no armour save allowed, and if it failed its ward save it died outright. And if he hit a vehicle with it, he inflicted an automatic Penetrating Hit.Vidi Kitty said:
Well, all the races have good reason to be on bad terms with one another. The Emperor united all of Mankind when pretty much every single alien race in the universe was attacking them and trying to wipe them out.Jandau said:
HOLY EPIC WINSAUCE BATMAN!Vidi Kitty said:
Kraken wasn't unknowing teamup, given as how Iyanden turned up to help mop up on Ichar IV. The Tau only exist because of the Tyranids diverting Imperial forces away from them. The Tau empire is tiny in the galactic stage, smaller than an Imperial Sector, the only reason they are still around is that Imperial forces have bigger fish to fry (Hive Fleets, Orks, etc). Even then, the Imperium has faced worse stuff than the Hive Fleets before, it;s just a pity the writer are forgetting this.IBlackKiteI said:
Outflanking Genestealers are your friend. Also the Tyrant power (forget the name), which makes an enemy unit BS1 (and WS1) for a turn, I really hate that power.Vidi Kitty said:
