Collection: T'au Empire

Blast across the battlefield with superior tech and overwhelming firepower in the name of The Greater Good!

 

The T’au Empire is a relatively young race in the world of Warhammer 40k, but thanks to incredibly fast progress, they can put some of the galaxy’s most advanced technology on the battlefield. In a game of 40k, T’au units bring incredible weaponry capable of bringing down even the biggest targets easily, and use a wide range of specialist battlesuits that can take huge amounts of punishment and keep fighting.

The core belief in the T’au Empire is The Greater Good, or the idea of all groups and races working together in harmony to benefit everyone. On the battlefield, they show this by working together with other units to improve their abilities. A T’au unit with friends nearby is a lot more powerful than any lone wolf.

For situations like close combat where they struggle, they use a range of auxiliary troops like the feral kroot and insect-like vespid to fill in the gaps. On the whole, the T’au are not the most durable army in the game, especially compared to armies like Space Marines, but they can hit hard, fast, and have the ability to control the battlefield if used correctly.
