An army of assassins. And then came a tau tank and killed em all....

Tau are most powerfull race. They are oldonly 6000 years and they can already parry to other empires. Imagine what will another 6000 years do.

In all honesty Tau are the weakest race in terms of lore. Compared to the Imperium their empire is like a bug while the Imperium of Man is an elephant. The Tau are constantly attacked by some force and their Empire (yet again) very very very very small. The only thing protecting them is the massive plot armor Games Workshop gave them.
 
i think he means the way 40k world is set by GW.
GW made variety of different personality race which suit the personality of the player. so they could sell more
space marine---selfless, brave and strong. honourable
chaos---selfish and evil backstabbing, but soooo powerful
eldars---elegant, magical superhuman beings-for people who like to kill elegantly
tyranids---represent the unstopable force of evolution and nature
necron ---your basic "i hate everyone" emo
tau---your basic "i love everyone" hippie

orks are just fooked up in da 'eadz (my brother's opinion)

With plot armour I mean a character/squad/army/race being protected by the "story", even thought reality would obviously say other wise. For example a certain Ultramarine Captain named Uriel Ventris has a MASSIVE plot armour. He threathened the Nightbringer with a MELTA BOMB, escaped from a Daemon world, etc.

In other words by all logic the Tau should be dead already, however the story says otherwise. They always survive, usually due to some odd reason. For example they defeated a Tyranid Hive Fleet, because it fell ASLEEP after a Warp jump (what the hell??).

Also the Necrons used to be one of the major threats alongside Tyranids and Orks with the "likely" endgame. However now the Necrons have been LOLNERF'D and they have become basically useless. Most of the Necrons that had not awakened yet from Stasis are pretty much destroyed now. Necrons can no longer repair Plasma damage. Most Necron Lords have god complexes and are not all that faithful to the C'tan. Also the Void Dragon, who used to be Necron's endgame (Void Dragon and the rest of the Necrons were supposed to wake up and kill everything) has now been changed to being LOLPWND by the Emperor and now is forever locked up in Mars.

Well, my info comes from random sources; I learn alot from the Dawn of War 2 forums at Gamespot/gamefaqs (lots of lore experts there), from Codexes and rulebooks and also from http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Main_Page . Also the particular info I posted about the Necrons come from the 5th edition and the Void Dragon stuff from Mechanicum book.

And the Void Dragon is a C'tan, the most powerful one. He took 4 blows from Talismans of Vaul (pretty much anti-C'tan weapons) and it only made him "sleepy". Then suddenly Emperor came and said LOLPWND and beat up the Void Dragon and locked him up in Mars, thus making the Necron endgame obsolete.

Meh... I started a WH40k campaign some time ago but... it would require far too many resources to be completed. xD
I almost finished the IG (meaning that the complete race will have every IG resource in the Hive) however...
BTW, Pyramidhe@d, gj for the Autarch and every WH40k models of yours, they're very good ^^
 
So there is possibility you would continue the campaign? (can we see somehow your work in progress?) People are not that motivated to do wh40k stuff because the maps are very crappy in general.

Today I finally managed to implement my battallion system in a playable map (meaning not just a spell map), which could be well used when playing with a race meant to mass troops like IG :) I generally dislike this kind of control, I prefer control units individually, but the warcraft 3 12-unit selection gives me no other choice.
 
yeah but you can scroll left and right.
anyways, screenshot of my dreadnought is up. has assault cannon and missile launcher in the screenshot but i finished making plasma, autocannon, multi melta and lascannon. gonna animate it now. 5 variation, 40+ animations in total! lots 'a work

the thing is green(dark angels) but the texture from the blue dreadnought is compatible with this model. and vice versa.
