Tau
,no edit summary
It is also true that the Tau are a race bereft of psykers. Whether it is due to their limited Warp interaction or something distinct about the Tau mind it means that they are unique amongst the dominant races of the galaxy. For while it does mean that the Tau do not possess the significant advantages that having psykers brings, it is also worthy to note that not one Tau has ever fallen to Chaos. In fact, as a species, the Tau register as barely more than a blip in the Warp and it may well be that this has been their saving grace, protecting the altruism and idealism their race shares from the destructive tendencies of Chaos.

===Tau Warfare===
Tau warfare is carried out almost exclusively by the Fire Caste, with support from the Air Caste in the form of transportation and air support. The Tau draw their tactics from their age-old methods of hunting. Each force is usually drawn from the same Sept, and is called a [[Hunter Cadre]].
The Tau are known to use [[ion cannon]]s and [[railgun]]s in their ships as well as their vehicles with various guided and unguided missiles. They also arm their battlesuits with a variety of weapons, ranging from burst cannons and [[missile pod]]s, to [[fusion blaster]]s, [[plasma rifle]]s, and [[flamer]]s.
