The Tau Empire may be for the Greater Good, but they do annihilate everything that doesn't join them.
Being a veteran Tau player, I know how evil tau tactics can be, too.
They may not be a blood for the blood god army, but they do have a rapid, dangerous, menacing expansion going on, leaving only blood, gore, and plasma burns behind.

So, tell me. Do YOU think that Tau are evil?

All Xenos races are evil.

Everyone in 40k is evil.

Evil, no. Not exactly nice, yes

'tis one of the things I don't get about peoples assumptions... a lot of folks say the Tau aren't 'grimdark' enough for 40k... but they never seem to dig into what happens when people say 'no' to Tau it's either destruction or what happened to the Vespid... there's no nice about it XD

They are very nice people by 40k standards.

But then, our 'goodies' have concentration camps and an inquisition.

Sssh! Be quiet, or the Ethereals will put you in a re-education camp!

This is about to turn into debate about the definition of evil in no-time.

Anyway, I would say the Tau as they depicted are the 'least evil' race in 40k. That certainly doesn't make them 'good', and I have a lot of problems with their expansion and caste system.

Don't troll Tau players.
