Codex: T'au Empire (2020)

The T’au are a young and dynamic race of technologically advanced aliens whose empire is spreading like wildfire across the stars. Ruled and guided by the enigmatic Ethereals, the T’au seek to unite every sentient being under the light of the T’au’va, or Greater Good. They prefer that others join this growing alliance willingly, but do not hesitate to use force to fulfill their destiny wherever they must. At the forefront of this fight are the Hunter Cadres of the Fire Caste. Comprising highly mobile and well-armed soldiery, led and supported by veteran warriors piloting deadly battlesuits, gunships, and strike fighters, these armies sweep all before them in a blizzard of devastating firepower. Signature battle strategies such as the decisive Mont’ka or the cunning ambush of the Kauyon see the enemy outmaneuvered at every turn, while their potent blend of technological might and ideological fanaticism ensure the T’au achieve victory after victory.

This 136-page book comprehensively covers the T'au Empire. It has everything you need to bring the technological might of the T'au to bear on the tabletop in order to expand the empire, plus a selection of lore and art to inspire your own collection.
