[edit] Humans (Gue'la)
I'm changing the wording on the link to Tau-allied humans in the article, and I'd like to propose substantial changes to the linked article. humans are playing a larger role in the Tau empire with third-sphere expansion, and this deserves some mention. We should also stick to accurate terms. See the Gue'vesa Talk Page for a more in-depth discussion.
[edit] Wtf, I don't get this
Ethereal castes control them with pheremones? Where was this rumored? My whole love for the Tau is being shattered, I stayed away from the Tyranids because they were mindless slaves. Is the Ethereal Caste just another evolution that was more useful? WHY?
I'm not sure but I think it was mentioned as a theory as to why the Tau are so blindly loyal to the Ethereals. No one actually knows for sure, if I'm remembering the codex correctly.
[edit] ugh coem on
No, you retard, NO. the Tau dont controll Tyranids with feramones. We lure them to theyer own death with it...lol. but seriously, the ethernals deaply hate tyranids, mainly because they are mindless fat people eating every thing that moves. bye... and peace out
[edit] ???!!! YAH!
Was the rewrite article finally implanted into this? Colonel Marksman 18:29, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yes. Why? -- Saberwyn 21:35, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hey hypocrites!
I have the Tau codex and the Demiurg, the Nicassar or the Tallerians, none of them are in the fricken codex! my freind placed his custom chapter and you said " It was not codex!" what was that all about! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tauman (talk • contribs) .
- Have you read (eg) the Battlefleet Gothic rulebook, in particular the part referenced by the Demiurg and Nicassar articles (To Unite The Stars)? They are both canonical Games Workshop creations. Cheers --Pak21 14:54, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
- And the Tallerians are mentioned in the novel Kill Team. SAMAS 12:49, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- If you've got Kill Team, could you confirm the spelling of "Tallerians"? (See Talk:Tallerians (Warhammer 40,000) for context). Cheers --Pak21 14:38, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Similarities between Marathon and the Tau from Warhammer 40,000
For those of you familiar with the Games Workshop tabletop game Warhammer 40,000, you will notice the Tau have a similar ressemblance to the style and pictography of Marathon's main character and the Bungie game Abuse's main character. Now I know Marathon came out a long time ago but it seems funny that both the Tau's logo and the Marathon logo are almost identical. In addition, the name of the planet Tau Ceti IV uses the word as well. Any thoughts? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gx9000 (talk • contribs) .

- The word "Tau" is a letter in the Greek Alphabet --64.12.117.11 21:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)Will

[edit] Tau Empire
Shouldn't this page be renamed Tau Empire or The Tau Empire? This is what it is officially called on Games Workshop's website, in the new codex, and in Dark Crusade. 86.135.184.171 19:24, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
- I suppose it depends on if we want the article to be about the alien race (Tau), the political entity (Tau Empire - as per the background) or the playable game faction (Tau Empire - as per the game). - Heavens To Betsy 14:23, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
- Since two out of three of the above reasons are for Tau Empire, I think someone should move it, and have a section on the Tau race and history. Martin23230 12:33, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- I have tried moving it to Tau Empire, but it dosn't work. Could someone else do it for me? Land raider 12:01, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Subpage
Why do we have a subpage at Tau (Warhammer 40,000)/archive? Things like this should be done in non-article space. Also, it seems that it hasn't actually been done much with since september. Should we put it up for deletion?-Localzuk(talk) 18:51, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- It's an archive of the old page before saberwyn's rewrite. It can't be deleted as it is needed to preserve the contributor information, although a history merge could be done. --Pak21 09:18, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Images
Perhaps we can change the Tau Emblem in the Infobox? It's a beautiful rendering but looks tacky with the white-on-gray background. A transparent GIF/PNG/SVG would probably look much better. RCanine 21:55, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Free use images. Cheers, Dfrg.msc 23:55, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tyranid strategem
Does anyone have a strategy against a ton of genestealers, a carnifex, and a biovore? If I run towards them, they just kill me, and if not just use the biovore as lethal artillery. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.133.217.107 (talk) 00:15, 17 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Infobox
I moved the infobox to the top of the page because that seems to be the general thing on Wikipedia and also (I think) makes the page much clearer, giving important information first. Anyone object?
