Greetings all you like minded individuals!!!!!!!!

Id like to start this day off with a proplem Ive had for a while. The new IG codex is coming up, but thats not the issue cause all of us are really stoked for it!!!

The problem is this, when i started my first army it was Tau. But since Ive started on my IG army the Tau have been doing very little for the greater good, or rather the Farsight thing (hes my HQ in 2000 or above!!!!). Anyway, Ive wanted to use my Tau with my IG in Apocalypes battles, but just cant think of any really good reasons for it.

Any ideas lads

Well...the Tau do have human allies/human worlds as part of their empire. Seems like a reasonable thing for them to ally with the IG if they're the military force of a planet in the empire. I doubt the Tau would just wholesale replace every piece of war machinery the IG of the planet had.

Or you could just have them working against a common threat - it's not hard to see why a an IG and Tau army might unite against say, a tyranid attack, even if they were enemies normally and fighting over a system. Chaos or Necrons as well.

Welcome!Agree with lambadomy,the only way is if the Imperials where allies with the greater good or if they where working together to fight a common enemy.

Welcome to dakka.
