Hello, I've read somewhere that the big E

entrusted Guilliman in the protection of one Xenos race that was completely immune the temptations of Chaos and would prove the ultimate key to the destruction of Chaos. The Horus Heresy ended such plans

and SM suspect that he meant tau,

So now instead of being charge with their destruction the Astartes are the Tau protectors

Are they now allies in fluff? Also, Im total newbie with all this Codex stuff, I only read info online on some wiki pages etc, so when should we expect some update on 42 millenium status?

The only thing I could find on it in the internet was a "rumor" posting by someone.

I haven't read anything even close to this. I'd say it's a case of someone trolling the community.

Plus they'd have to re-write some of the Tau fluff since they weren't discovered 'till...m.34? Way after Guilliman bit (or is in the process of biting) the bullet, (opinions vary). Their rediscovery after the Warp Storms around their home system abated several millennium even further down the line.

Yeah I've never read anything like that, and I sincerely doubt it exists either.

Out of curiosity, where did you get those quotes from?

The only place I was able to find it (mind you, I'm not the OP, so maybe he got it elsewhere or heard it from someone) is from this message board:

It's rumor-mongering/trolling by this Blood of Kittens fella.
