Okay, so I've recently begun collecting and playing a Tau army. I chose them mainly because I like the models, and I wanted an army that plays different from my Dark Angels.
I've seen and heard a few comments online and at my local store that the Tau are a broken army, some people have even said that they will refuse to play a Tau army for that reason (not that I was looking for a game, I was just buying a few models). Now, I'm generally a hobbyist first and a gamer second, but I decided to build my Tau force for gaming, as I selected my DA units mainly for aesthetic reasons.
It's pretty rare I even go into a store looking for a game, but when I do, I'd like to be able to find an opponent who isn't going to bitch about my army, as I heard enough sly remarks about my Space Marines (though nobody ever refused to play them).
I don't think Tau are a broken army, they are an army with very obvious strengths and weaknesses, and I guess that can be exploited either way.
I was wondering what the people on here think of the Tau Empire. Broken? Or not?
Shit, this was meant to be in general 40K. Could somebody move it please?
