I did not actually play Tau, however 3 out of the 7 people I played Wh40k with had Tau armies. My first army was Tyranids, while my second was Dark Eldar. Although I stopped playing Wh40k when 6th edition came out. It wasn't because I didn't like 6th ed, rather I was too lazy to buy/read a 6th ed rulebook >.<'
I'm curious how you found this page actually. I haven't really done anything on this account in years, beyond just lurking about.
