It's pretty simple, you wanna play XYZ xenos races in 30k, follow the 30k force org. If you don't like this or don't find it fun to play that way, go back to 40k, because it's the FoC, limitations to armies assets like the LoW 25% restrictions that make 30k appear more balanced, so if you want the Balance of 30k you have to play it like 30k, it's really that simple.

Orks and Eldar both exist and cause trouble in the 30k timeline, it's just that the stories follow the Heresy near exclusively because it really was the big thing in the galaxy at the time.

You wanna play Guard? Great call em the Imperial Army and follow the AoD force org.

You wanna play Nids? Great call em Something else and use the AoD force org.

Wanna play Tau and do it seriously? Call em something else and use the AoD FoC.

For all the Non existant armies at this timeline I always urge some sort of conversion to make em fit better, like removing race emblems like Tau cept markings, Guard Aquillas and such but it's not a Must Have.

But in the end, if you wanna play an Age of Darkness game, follow the Age of Dark Ness rules or you're not playing a true Age of Darkness game.

I don't know why this is such a source of contention.

I think this is the best answer in the thread. I'm already planning on playing 30k TS against my 40k buddies, so why the opposite can't happen? Just call Tau anything else and use AoD rules.

There's really no place for Tau imo. Nobody in my group will play them.

I believe this thread and that account was used just to start a gak show IMO.

I can understand both sides, wanting to play a balanced game and not spending more money. However I think 40k is incompatible with 30k on the basis of different intentions when the units were designed.

It would be like using a 2nd ed. DnD character in 5th, possible but stupid. Let 30k lie with itself it's their game.
