Tau might be my favourite Xenos faction in Warhammer 40,000, although Orks and Tyranids are up there too. I also built the drones as 3 marker drones and 3 shield drones, which when I played Tau in 2011 were metal but I always wanted.

I'm going to paint them in my old purple and turquoise colour scheme.

Are Tau any good (fun) to play? They don't seem to be really popular I guess. I never saw anybody buy or bring any in to play. Given that they were fairly new, one'd think that somebody would want to give them a try. Except me. 😁 I had just started up with the Blood Angels, recently before they dropped.
@Levenrack they are fun but it takes a certain sort of person to enjoy their aesthetic. Combined with the 20 years of "Tau are communist" memes and now there's a strange stigma around them
@KiwiDan Eventually, I'm going to do a deep dive into the lore. That's something I never cared to do since I started way back in the late 90s. We just wanted to play. 🙃
