What's the slit on the Tau's forehead? I always assumed it was their nose. If you have an alien appendage you're not too sure about in function or form then post here.

Somewhere in south-central England.

The Tau 'nose' is inside their mouth.

I have no idea what the slit is for. Possibly just to add visual interest.

Are you inferring that Tau reproduce through head-butting? That, also, would explain a LOT.

Once more down to the beach, dear friends, once more,
To drown our sorrows with our English beer!
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of alcohol blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.

What? I never knew all eldar were women. That confuses me a bit. But there are models without breasts and with breasts and people like prince yurial (don'y know how to spell it). Can someone pleases clarify that?

Well, about the tau head slit thingamajig, I heard somewhere that it's a necessary gland in the curious mind-control function the Ethereals seem to be able to exude.
