I am starting a campaign were the pc are playing a guerrila groupe figting the blue smurfs currently sitting around on thiere plants eating all of the marsbars. And to my horror i relised how little was writen about the tau. All i found was about the kroot and a few pages in deathwatch which were questi0onabel at best (tau commander has 90 fecking wounds on top of armour 9 and TB 10)

So i feel its high time we started writing all of the tau stuff down here

a few pages in deathwatch which were questi0onabel at best (tau commander has 90 fecking wounds on top of armour 9 and TB 10)

It's XV8 Crisis wounds, TB and armor, unarmored (well, un-battlesuited) Tau is on p.368 :-)

90 wounds is as much as a squigoth.
