Aothaine Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Does anyone else here think that T'au should be able to ally in Astra Militarium units? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358766-allies-options/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 No, not really. Gue'vesa are different than just AM allies. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358766-allies-options/#findComment-5397585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Krash Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 They should have a supplement addition similar to Genestealer cult. Yes Krash Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358766-allies-options/#findComment-5397588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aothaine Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 No, not really. Gue'vesa are different than just AM allies. How so? I'm not to knowledgeable about this topic, but I remember reading that imperial worlds have joined the T'au Empire. I've even read that space marines have worked with the T'au as well.

justicarius6 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 In open play and narrative, sure why not. Not in matched though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358766-allies-options/#findComment-5397690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapter master 454 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Gue'Vesa are Humans who have switched to the Tau Empire's "greater good" however some notes. First is the quick thing: Que'Vesa just means "Human Helpers" according to their codex so yea. Secondly as far I am aware, they still worship the Emperor but instead go for the "greater good" (being the Emperor) and it is these worlds that are interesting as often they are worlds long abandoned by the imperium by all accounts, so the populace has no issue switching sides so to speak because well...not like they get support anyway. Ironic, by switching sides they get noticed and kind of prove why they switched sides to begin with! Thirdly, While they do make use of their own gear the Tau Empire actually tend to give these Gue'Vesa access to Tau gear like Pulse Rifles and even the tanks (and by all accounts, that gear tends to be well received considering most guardsmen normally get thrown a lasgun and nothing more really). Really, you wouldn't be outside of bounds converting guardsmen to using pulse rifles and calling them Fire Warriors. It is actually one of the cooler aspects of collecting tau is the conversions you can do thanks to tau auxiliaries. Last, it would be certainly cool in the future for when Tau Empire get their new codex we get their main codex + 2 supplements of Far'Sight Enclave and Auxiliaries (including Gue'Vesa). Would certainly let them triple dip on Guardsmen kits again (Astra, GSC and then Gue'Vesa).

Charlo Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 A LOOOOOONG time ago in 3rd (maybe 4th) there were online rules and some converted models for them. Best way to do it is just use them as Fire Warriors, however a simple choice of infantry squads with some Tau flavour would be nice.

Exilyth Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 That chapter approved article back in 3rd had Gue'Vesa as a troops unit of 10 with guardsman statlines and pulse carbines. I don't remember clearly but I think the sarge was forced (or had the option?) to take a pulse pistol + CCW instead. A modern reimagining would hopefully have more interesting options.
