About this episode

The episode discusses the Tau's performance and player reception across different editions of Warhammer 40k.

On today’s episode we finish up on the Tau, with a focus on their reign of terror in 8th edition. Shield drones were just dumb. How they worked and why the player base still hates them to this day. From there we jump into a big shift to 9th edition where they find a much more traditional way to be a huge pain in everyone’s a**. We then close out with 10th edition, where Tau have been quite average (in a good way) with a much better variety of play styles (while enjoying great success without being oppressive).
