WARHAMMER 40K: Tau
Along the fringes of Imperial Space, a new race is encountered. Enter the Tau. Fighting for the greater good, the Tau are reenforced by the mercenary race, the Kroot.
Introduced in 2001, the Tau join the other established races in the 40K universe. The Tau, while well armoured and armed with technological marvels, are weak in close combat. They are reenforced by the Kroot, who lack armour and technology, but excel in close combat and assult.
