Codex: T’au Empire
FOR THE GREATER GOOD!
The dynamic and enlightened T'au Empire rises in the galaxy's eastern reaches, sweeping aside the old order with bleeding-edge technology and an indomitable will. Guided by the mysterious Ethereal caste, the T'au strive foe the Greater Good for all, and are determined to bring the truth of their enlightened philosophy to the galaxy's warring races - even if they must do so at the barrel of a gun. Sleek and deadly battlesuits rain from the sky, blasting apart the T'au's foes with scintillating cascades of pulse fire. This daredevil assault is joined by swift gunships and whooping alien auxiliaries, and the enemy is caught in a storm of lightning ambushes and devious counter-attacks, defeated before they even realise their doom.
INSIDE YOU WILL FIND:
- A history of the T'au Empire's rise and its many glorious victories.
- A showcase of Citadel Miniatures, including colour schemes favoured by the most famous T'au septs, and expertly painted examples from the 'Eavy Metal team.
- A comprehensive range of datasheets providing tabletop rules for every unit available to the T'au Empire.
- Army-wide rules that allow you to take your collection of T'au Empire Citadel Miniatures and transform them into an army of expansion ready to spread word of the Greater Good across the stars.

I've been a big fan of the T'au since their initial release, so have really been looking forward to this edition of their Codex and it hasn't disappointed.
The timeline has been moved along as far as the timeline is concerned and there have been some pretty big changes for them since the last Codex. A new sphere of expansion, assassination and their first big disaster. it's going to be interesting to see how this effects them as a race going forward.
It has all the stuff that a Codex would be expected to have; background, timeline, character and unit descriptions, pretty pictures and, of course, rules.
The army list is very comprehensive and seems solidly put together, but not having played a massive amount of games in the current edition of Warhammer 40,000 I still haven't fully got to grips with the new format for the lists. I can manage an army list no problem, but it doesn't feel as slick as the previous versions. This is probably just me though, so it's not something I'm going to mark it down for.

"The T'au'va frees us from the anarchy of disunity and the tyranny of the self. It frees us from corruption, jealousy and petty ambition. What more wondrous gift can there be than to understand from birth one's place in the universe? Than to know, with utmost surety, that you live and die in the name of enlightenment and reason. We will bring this precious freedom to the galaxy's suffering masses, even if we must do so at the barrel of a pulse rifle."
